Email is about way more than delivery. Reliable delivery is only the starting point of a great email service. All of your favorite social apps use email effectively. How awesome is it when you can just reply to an email and have your comment be posted to your profile in the app without every logging in. Email is everywhere. People know how to use it. When its used well, it can dramatically increase engagement.
We just had a customer blog about how he increased student engagement on a discussion board 3x by adding the ability to reply-to-questions through email using Mailgun routes. Before, you had to be logged in to the website to comment on a post. When they added reply-by-email, engagement jumped. Mailgun makes using email effectively easy. The development work took only hours and now they have happier students which leads to more word-of-mouth referrals which leads to more business. This is email used the right way. And its easy to do! On that note, let ’s jump into sending push notifications by email now…
