GrooveMail Review: Email Marketing & Automation

GrooveMail Features

GrooveMail is an email marketing tool that makes it easy for businesses to create and send email campaigns to their customers.

It is similar to ActiveCampaign, and has many of the same features you would find in most email marketing software.

Here is a list of the main features of GrooveMail and what they do.

1. Opt-in Forms

An opt-in form is a feature commonly used in email marketing that allows individuals to sign up or subscribe to a mailing list.

It is a form that is typically placed on a website or landing page and includes fields for a person to enter their name and email address, and sometimes other information.

The purpose of an opt-in form is to collect contact information from individuals who are interested in receiving email communications from a business or organization.

Groovemail optin forms

With a free GrooveMail account, you can create opt-in forms with your own custom fields and embed it on any web page.

GrooveMail forms also integrates seamlessly with GroovePages.

If you’re using GroovePages to create a website or landing page, adding a sign-up form from GrooveMail is easy.

You just need to drag a “GrooveMail” element into your page and choose the form you want to use.

2. Manage Email Contacts, Filters & Suppressions

Contacts are your email subscribers or customers who opted in via your GrooveMail forms.

4. Email Lists, Tags & Segments

GrooveMail email lists, tags and segments

You can create email lists, tags and tag categories within GrooveMail.

If you have a specific lists for your leads and customers, you want to set up a separate list name for each.

Tags are useful for organizing and categorizing contacts in an email list based on their past purchase behavior, location or other demographic information.

Segments are like dynamic searches where you filter and excludes leads in real time.

Groovemail segments filters and options

Here are the following segment triggers you can put in place

  • subscribed to a list
  • has a specific tag
  • has filled a form
  • subscribed to sequence
  • has a specific IP
  • opened a broadcast
  • clicked on a link
  • date range
  • status

5. Email Sequences

Groovemail email sequences

Email sequences are a series of automated email messages that are sent to a specific group of contacts or subscribers over a period of time.

These messages are pre-written and scheduled in advance, and are designed to nurture leads, promote a product or service, or provide valuable information to the recipients

GrooveMail sequences incorporates both email and sms email sequences.

You can trigger an email sequence when someone is tagged, subscribes to a list or opts into a form.

There are time delays of when each email in the sequence should be sent.

6. Conditional Splits

Within email sequences, you can add conditional splits to your email campaign.

Conditional splits allows you to apply certain rules and conditions before they receive the next email in a sequence.

This personalizes the email campaign for that specific contact or customer.

For example, imagine an e-commerce company that wants to send a follow-up email to customers who have abandoned their shopping carts.

Using an email conditional split, the company could set up a rule that sends an email with a special discount code to customers who have abandoned their cart, but not to customers who have completed a purchase.

This way, the company can target only the people who are most likely to complete a purchase and increase their conversion rate.

Another example would be a company that wants to send a different message to the people who have opened an email and another message to the people who haven’t.

Using an email conditional split, the company can set up a rule that sends a different email message to the people who opened the previous email, and another message to the people who haven’t opened the previous email.

7. Marketing Automation

GrooveMail lets you turn on a host of automations based on your recipients’ behaviors.

You can define rules like IF a contact does then THEN do this.

Here’s the available IF automations currently available with more coming soon:

  • lead subscribes to a list

  • lead fills form
  • lead subscribers to sequence
  • Purchased a product (from GrooveSell)

  • cancels a subscription

Ensure that you have added MX records into Cloudflare pointed to your email hosting provider. Do not add your MX records on Groove’s name servers.

Want To Increase Sales Funnels Conversions?

I recommend writing great copy with relevant CUSTOM graphics on your sales page.

In this day and age, people don’t read long blocks of copy.

They’re usually skimming and only stop scrolling when they see a compelling image.

You NEED unique custom 3d mockups, book covers, lead magnet images, online course mockups and funnel graphics to make your sales page convert.

I’ve always struggled with design and could not justify hiring expensive graphic designers.

Not anymore.
