Email And SMS Templates To Help With Your Marketing
Phorest Salon Software’s Monthly Email Templates
When constructing email marketing campaigns or newsletters for your salon, you will find that certain campaigns may be more successful than others. You may wish to run these again periodically, or you may have a set type of campaign that you run on a regular basis. If that’s the case, you might find that using templates saves you an invaluable amount of time.
Whether you’re looking to run a promotional marketing campaign or monthly newsletter, we have a collection of templates that can be quickly and easily selected to send without having to construct a campaign from scratch every time! However, the emails we upload to your system are templates do require a few minor modifications and will need to be re-saved to suit your salon.
