Getting Started in ActiveCampaign
A quick intro video to explain the benefits of ActiveCampaign. If you are currently using a different program or considering what your options are, watch this video first to learn about the powerful features ActiveCampaign offers and why it’s the email service provider I recommend for both new and established businesses.
Setting Up Site Tracking
Every email service provider gives you data on how your subscribers interact with the emails you send them – open rates, clicks, shares – but not all give you the ability to see what individual subscribers do on your site after they click through. This feature is called Site Tracking in ActiveCampaign and it’s extremely useful for marketers. This video shows you how to setup Site Tracking for your website.
