Folderly
EMAIL MARKETING & NEWSLETTER

Writing emails and newsletters is great (trust me!). Yet, how hard is it to engage more users and increase open rates? Let’s try Folderly, the AI tool that wants to make our job easier.

🚀 What is it and how does it work? Folderly is an online platform that helps you track, send, and improve the emails you send to your users, increasing readability and open rates.

The tool will be able to detect which folder your messages end up in, gradually increasing the authority of your domain to help you “get out” of spam.

Plus, preset templates and analytics tools will help you create more readable and deliverable emails, and understand how and why your messages might get ignored.

💡 Who is it for? Entrepreneurs, start-ups, and content writers.

💸 How much does it cost? Prices will vary depending on the number of mailboxes to be analyzed.
