simple.mailer
Automated email marketing — built, operated, and maintained for you
Our customisable automated email marketing system handles everything — from importing your customers to creating professional campaigns and tracking results. You focus on your business. We handle the marketing.
01
Import Your Customers
Upload subscriber lists directly from Shopify, WooCommerce, or any platform that exports CSV. Built-in validation checks required fields, flags duplicates, and skips invalid entries. Quick-import options let you choose between all customers or only opted-in — GDPR-compliant from day one.
02
Command Centre
Live dashboard showing active subscribers, total campaigns, emails sent, and pending deliveries at a glance. One-click access to every function — subscriber management, campaign creation, testing, analytics, and SMTP configuration.
03
Manage Subscribers
Full subscriber database with status filtering, marketing consent tracking, and subscription dates. Select individual recipients or bulk-select for targeted campaigns. Export clean lists for client review.
04
Campaign Analytics
Track every campaign with clear metrics: emails sent, unique opens, total opens, and click-through rates. Compare campaigns side by side to identify what resonates.
05
Opens & Clicks
Real-time tracking of who opened your emails and which links they clicked. See exactly when subscribers engaged, which campaign triggered the interaction, and which product pages they visited.
06
GDPR & Client Reporting
Built-in GDPR compliance reporting tracks consent status, opt-in rates, and subscriber growth with live data. Branded client reports ready to share with stakeholders.
simple.mailer is offered as a service by lance.black — not designed to be operated as a product by clients.
Suitable for small customer databases of fewer than 500 subscribers.
