Personalise
Emails can be personalised by inserting any database variable (first and last name, items purchase etc ) into the body of the email, subject and from lines. This means that you can greet customers by their first name and even tell them exactly what their last purchase was, all within seconds.

Viral Marketing
Increase your campaign response by inserting a 'Send to a Friend' link. This is a great way to allow recipients to send your email to friends who might also be interested. You can also link your web registration forms within emails allowing new recipients to register for email Newsletters or to enquire about your products and services.

Social Media
You can have your messages provide social updates on your twitter, facebook and linkedin account when sending your messages. These can be sent instantly with the message or at a later scheduled time to maximise your marketing strategy. With the built-in social media icons, you can add facebook "Likes' to your messages to increase traffic and market visibility.

Send Campaigns
Simply select your email campaign, choose your database and hit send! Your email is efficiently delivered at high speed through specialised email delivery servers. You can even schedule a series of campaigns to go out at specific intervals with reports being provided on the successful execution of each send or Email blast.

Advanced Search Tools Help You Target Customers
Hilltop-Mail's search functions allow you to send to your entire database, to new subscribers only or subscribers who haven't yet received certain information.

You can also send to customers based on profiles, such as all customers who live on the coast and purchased within a month or to all double opt in recipients only.

Schedule Sends
Emails can be scheduled for sending at any point in the future. Simply select the time you'd like the email sent and a report is delivered to you upon successful delivery of your email campaign.

Registration Forms

Each database you create automatically creates web registration forms that can be used on websites, within emails or on Desktop computers as a quick and easy method of inputting data. Forms can be easily branded with logos, images and background colours.
