The system includes a wealth of functionality including integration to social media, stunning email template design features, automation functions as well as standard email list management (subscribe, unsubscribe and contact management).


Email design can begin with a blank template, use of one of the many standard templates enabled within your account, using our website emulator tool or importing a template.

The email editor can be readily used even if you do not have experience in email design. The editor includes the ability to drag-and-drop email items and easily edit items by double clicking into them. This is combined with preview functions that show how your email will look to recipients both on Desktop and Mobile devices.


Details reporting on each email send is available in real time. This includes an activity graph showing live updates on the email send. Summary indicators provide users with a quick update on the status of the send results. Extensive detail can also be extracted such as open locations, email clients and use of mobile vs desktop devices. Almost all report statistics are coupled with drill down abilities such as providing a list of all email recipients that click on a specific link.
 

Legrand CRM Integration
  • Ability to setup and maintain unlimited email lists. Most customers only operate one or two email lists – for example, a retail customer list and a wholesale/distributors list.
     
  • Maintain email lists in Legrand CRM. Each list is linked to a Legrand CRM keyword. Contacts can be subscribed to an email list by simply assigning the nominated keyword.
     
  • Target customers by mapping any contact or company fields to online email lists. Any Legrand CRM fields can be mapped into the email list for use with personalising emails and/or filtering contacts when sending. Possible applications include sending target email campaigns to contacts in specific industries or geographical areas. Email content can also be customised based on list data (for example, define a section of an email newsletter which appears for wholesale customers only).
     
  • Update contacts in CRM. Any contact changes in CRM are reflected in the online email system. No double entry or import/export processes are required. The background sync process seamlessly handles this.
     
  • Record of emails sent visible in Legrand CRM. Any emails sent are recorded into Legrand CRM as activity notes with a full HTML version of the email visible. This ensures staff that may not use the online email system can still see what emails have been sent to what contacts.
     
  • Record of contact unsubscribe visible in Legrand CRM. If a contact wishes to unsubscribe they can easily use the inbuilt unsubscribe function within the email system. For any contact that unsubscribes a record is visible in Legrand CRM.
     
  • Automatic background synchronisation of Legrand CRM and the online email platform. The sync between your offline Legrand CRM database and the online eMailer solution can be setup to automatically operate at predefined intervals with email alerts confirming the sync process has been completed.

Personalise 
Emails can be personalised by inserting any database variable (first and last name, items purchased) into the body of the email, subject and from lines. This means that you can address 1,000 customers by their first name and even tell them exactly what their last purchase was, all within seconds.

Online email benefits

A hosted/cloud based email solution is not a requirement for all sites. Legrand CRM desktop edition includes the ability to send personalised emails which can be used very effectively. The main benefits of a hosted email solution are;

  • Powerful reporting including open and click-through rates. See how many and which recipients have opened your email and/or clicked on specific links. 
     
  • Inbuilt email template designer with drag-and-drop toolbox. Email templates can be designed from scratch or based on a range of inbuilt samples. External templates can also be imported. Other key features of the email design functions are explored below.
     
  • Streamlined unsubscribe & bounced email management. The system will automatically catch bounced email addresses and provide a detailed report of failed addresses. The inbuilt unsubscribe function also manages any contacts who unsubscribe from your email list(s). 
     
  • Dedicated servers for email sending. Although emails are delivered from your nominated email address (as if you send them) this means your own mail server does not have to contend with sending potentially large volumes of emails.  
    Why is this important? Many internet service providers have caps on the number of emails you can send in a given timeframe. Once this is exceeded the ISP may simply not send additional emails until the timeframe is reset. Furthermore, many servers struggle to process large email sends in addition to their existing work load.
Why eMailer?

There is a wide range of email solutions available with varying functionality and cost. eMailer is based on a platform utilised by the leading online email solution provider in Australia & New Zealand. In comparison with some low cost overseas solutions, this platform was specifically selected based on features, performance, ability to establish an integrated solution with Legrand CRM and being a locally based solution.

A local solution (Australian based) has proven to be extremely beneficial as clients using overseas solutions often find their emails are frequently detected as potential spam emails particularly when sent to corporate networks.

eMailer offers an integrated solution to Legrand CRM clients. It removes the requirement to maintain a separate system and perform tedious and time consuming import/export processes or manually update both CRM and email databases.
