email marketing FAQ's
To best advise you, we'd want to know how you're currently using any email marketing software, but if it's just for basic email campaigns, you could probably switch without issue. MailPoet is much simpler and with fewer features than Mailchimp, which our clients often like (less to be confused by).
A switch would involve export of your lists and segments, then import into MailPoet. Templates and/or welcome emails would need to be recreated as well.
A welcome email is an automated email that's scheduled to send as soon as someone subscribes to your email list. It's best practice to confirm their subscription, thank them, and often offer a free download or other resource (when presenting this as the primary reason to subscribe, it's known as a lead magnet).
Email accounts are like setting up a Gmail account, but under your business domain (you@yourbusiness.com). So an inbox with the ability to send and receive mail on your phone and computer.
Email marketing software is how you send bulk email newsletters, and it's completely different. It also needs to be connected to your domain in order to verify that you aren't spamming people, but it usually offers a design interface, a way to manage lists, tag people, and create automations (when a user subscribes, then send them this welcome email).
While you can certainly BCC multiple emails, this is not how you stay in regular contact with people. There's a limit for how many emails you can send per day, you might be flagged for spam, and you lack the statistics and tracking features possible with email marketing software.
No, MailPoet is a plugin designed to run inside of WordPress sites only.
