More Episodes

If you’re using your website’s built-in email platform, this episode is a must-listen. While it may seem like a cost effective option, the truth is these tools often come with significant limitations that can hold your business back as it grows. Eventually, you should outgrow the basics, and in this episode, we’ll break down exactly why that is—and how to know when it’s time to upgrade.

Website email tools are marketed as convenient add-ons, but here’s the reality: email marketing isn’t their primary focus. These platforms don’t get the updates, features, or attention that a dedicated email marketing platform offers. From limited design options to lackluster automations, and insights that don’t give you the data you need, these tools are more of a stepping stone than a long-term solution.

We’re diving deep into:

• Why website platforms treat email marketing as an afterthought

• The red flags that tell you it’s time to move on

• How limited automations and analytics can impact your business

• What to look for in a dedicated email platform

Plus, I’ll share actionable advice for making the transition to an email platform that grows with your business, including a checklist to get you started.

If you’re serious about building a powerful email marketing strategy, this episode will help you spot the gaps in your current system and make the changes needed to take your emails—and your business—to the next level.
