Make an impact with your email marketing by delivering your content in a custom email design. Your business needs to leverage all of the benefits of email marketing and design is one of those.  Five’s email marketing services offer custom designs, to match your website and branding along with many other features.

Here are two examples of Five Technology clients using custom email designs in their email marketing efforts:

1. Mental Health Association of Minnesota

This non-profit utilizes our email platform for their organizations newsletter as well as special communications to their clients. Our tool allows for multiple custom designs and layouts in one account, you just pick the one you want to use.

2. Rosen Properties

This real estate services firm utilizes custom email delivery to market their properties and communicate with real estate investors.  Rosen switched from Constant Contact to Five’s email offering to gain a custom design and stronger reporting features of their campaign’s performance.
