How Rocket Mailing Works

Rocket Mailing is a hosted email marketing service and solution that enables you to create, target, personalise, send and track compelling permission-based email messages.

Email marketing offers you the opportunity to take your brand and your sales proposition to your market via targeted messages. Effective email marketing builds brand awareness and enduring customer relationships while communicating your sales proposition.

If you have your target audience's permission to contact them, we can help you create effective email marketing campaigns that get the responses you want.

Rocket Mailing Features

Web Based Account

We will set up your personalised Rocket Mailing account, which is easy to view via the Web. As we're doing the campaign set up for you, all you have to worry about is viewing and monitoring the results.

Easy Mailing

You can ask our staff to test, preview and send out email campaign previews between 8.30am and 5pm, Mondays and Fridays and to schedule in your mailing for the day and time you specify.

List Management

The software behind Rocket Mailing enables automatic management of your mailing lists with regards to unsubscribes, duplicate, bounceback and invalid email addresses. If recipients unsubscribe from your mailing, Rocket Mailing takes that email address off your master mailing list, stored in your account. It also filters out email addresses that have been duplicated in the list and removes from the list those emails that are invalid or that continue to bounce-back mail after several attempts to send mail.

Templates

We will help you create templates for text emails to help you deliver consistently formatted messages to your mail recipients, and our design team can create stylish HTML mailings based on either on your existing online branding, or from an entirely new brief.

Email Options

Rocket Mailing delivers an appropriate format of the message to the recipient by sensing what formats your recipient's email client is capable of receiving. This means you can create messages in text and HTML formats and know that your recipient is likely to receive one version of your message.

  • Personalisation
    If you have mailing list data which includes first names, you can personalise your messages, e.g. Hi John,
  • Testing
    We help you test and preview content to eliminate content errors.
  • Scheduling
    We can schedule your mailing at specific times of day, so you can catch recipients at their most receptive.

Spam and Distribution

Rocket Mailing has an inbuilt 'spam detector', which assesses whether your email is likely to have a high spam score and end up in people's 'trash' rather than their inboxes. We use the advice of the spam detector to edit your campaign accordingly.

Reliability

Multiple servers ensure your message gets through; backups pick up where and when a server goes down. Rocket Mailing will not send your list duplicate messages nor delay your 'email-out.' Tens of thousands of recipients can be emailed at the same time through these servers.

Payment options

You will only pay for the Web design and email marketing services you use. There are no ongoing account fees or hidden extras. Refer to pricing.
