Email Templates for Marketers - Do You Need Them?
Hi,
I'm building http://GiveMeHtml.com - a service which will help designers and marketers to build HTML email templates from their designs and will save some money. My model is to give teams an ability to test their ideas and to make email templates quickly. You give me a design (a high-quality image, PSD, AI, Sketch, Avocode) and I send you HTML template back. I can integrate it into MailChimp.
Landing pages are coming soon. Same model.
What do you think about that? Will that help you in your day to day job?
Hi Akim, idea is great and it is not new.
stripo.email has huge library and free photo stocks access even for free subscriptions. It has direct integrations not only with MC, but with Getresponse, campaignmonitor, even Outlook and Gmail.
You could paste gif via link or download from your device - no need to send anything as you have extra risks of file breakage while sending.
The big player in this market is https://emailmonks.com/
So the idea has been done, if you build up a big enough name in the email marketing community you'll do ok.
There are 4 million results for "email template as a service" on Google.
On fiverr, you can find plenty of people providing psd -> html service (https://www.fiverr.com/search/gigs?search_in=everywhere&query=email template)
The demand is there. The idea has been validated.
I'm not sure how you can compete with existing solution, especially given that you're more expensive that most fiverr people.
Hi, you are right. But also I have heard from some enterprise companies that they pay up to 1500$ for an email template. They will not go to fiverr.
So they already have a provider for such service.
The question is: why would they use and not the service they're already using?
Based on the copy of your website, low price is your advantage, but you're more expensive than fiverr. So you want price-sensitive customers but not price-sensitive enough that they would go to fiverr?
If they're not using anyone, how would they find you and not thousand of other providers.
My point is that psd -> html service is extremely competitive.
The right question to ask is: how I can market such service in a cost effective way?
