This guide shows you how to create and send email campaigns in PodUp. It covers each step—from setup to testing and tracking—so you can send effective, well-timed newsletters with ease. Great for both beginners and experienced marketers.
Tip: An email campaign is a series of emails sent to a group of people with a specific goal—like promoting a product, sharing news, or building a relationship.
The point is to:
Reach your audience directly in their inbox
Promote your brand, product, or content
Drive actions like clicks, sign-ups, or purchases
Build trust and engagement over time
It’s a key part of marketing because it’s personal, measurable, and cost-effective.
