We track revenue directly attributed to automated emails (abandoned cart recovery, upsell sequences) plus staff hours saved from not manually building campaigns.
Can it work with our existing email list?
Yes. We import your existing list, clean invalid addresses, and set up proper segmentation. Historical engagement data helps train the initial segments.
Does it comply with UAE spam regulations?
Yes. All emails include unsubscribe links, sender identification, and proper consent tracking. We configure double opt-in for new subscribers.
Which email platforms do you integrate with?
