This upcoming Monday - May 4 - you'll notice a big change when you log into your SendLabs account. For the past three months, we have been hard at work with some signifcant upgrades, all neatly packaged into what we have been teasing on our blog and Twitter feed for months - the release of SendLabs 7.
So like the days before a big movie release, here's your inside look into SL7 and what to expect for new features and where we are headed with an overly simplified product roadmap for the next twelve months. We've got aggressive product development goals and we welcome your ideas for product updates and additions at ideas [at] sendlabs [dot-com]. You can also follow us over on Twitter or signup for email updates to stay in the loop.
So here are some highlights:
- Beautifully Redesigned Interface
Well, at least we think it's beautiful!
- Advanced Segment Builder
Slice-and-dice your data in a myriad of ways.
- Integrated Rendering Tests
How's this email going to look in Gmail...or Outlook...or Hotmail? Now you'll know. Slick, slick, slick and built in for everyone!
- Richer & Prettier Campaign Reports
3-D charts and graphs!
- Slick Split Testing
A very cool technique to gauge campaign offers with!
- Automated Triggers
Automate your email campaigns
- Enhanced Web Forms
The stuff you'll be able to do with these enhancements? Way cool.
- Upgraded Infrastructure
The unsung heros - the servers, the MTA's, the databases, the security, the back-ups - have all been beefed up.
- New Help Center
Revamped to include Best Practices. Video Help/Training and more!
So how do I upgrade?
Upgrading is hands-free and the SendLabs team will be working around the clock over the weekend to ensure Monday morning you're are good to go.
The Future
Here's a short list of BIG things we have up our sleeves in the near future. It's not complete by any means, but will give you some idea as to what we're thinking. Drop us a line if there's something you'd like to see.
* A first of its kind tool to make building emails like never before (we're keeping this vague for a reason...just wait!)
* CRM integration across multiple platforms
* SMS capabilities
* Even more new reporting capabilities
Phew...that's all for now! We hope you enjoy SendLabs 7 and here's to the next chapter of your successful email marketing on Monday, May 4th!
