What we did

timeline

These are tough times. We knew we wanted to do something to help out, so we pivoted the entire team and built email marketing in record time so you could connect with your clients, stay top-of-mind, help and guide your community, generate more revenue and market in all-new ways. Here's our timeline ...
March 11, 2020
Crisis Mode
The WHO officially declares the Coronavirus outbreak as a pandemic. The Sprout Team works remote. The photography industry is setback and put on pause. In certain districts, photographers are prohibited from participating in physically distancing work such as the Porch Project.  
March 16, 2020
First-Aid Support
The entire Sprout team pivots. The First-Aid webpage, an index page for COVID-19 resources, is launched. Two report features are added to help photographers reschedule with clients. Pre-written email and contract amendment templates are added to the Sprout Library. We launch the Marketing Plan Challenge that runs for over 2-weeks providing photographers with helpful and informative video lessons, topic breakdowns, and tactical checklists, to help their businesses stay afloat. 
March 20, 2020
Email Marketing
The Sprout Team becomes determined to do more. We reexamine our development calendar and decide to move up Email Marketing (a feature that was to be worked on in the last quarter of 2020). The dev teams dives into production, working relentlessly to get a MVP (minimum viable product) out and into the hands of photographers as quickly as humanly possible.  
March 26, 2020
The Annoucement
Sprout reveals the new project of Email Marketing to the Facebook Community with full transparency. Unlike any of our typical feature launches, we provide full disclosure and share behind-the-scene progress videos. Sprout understands the current financial burden COVID-19 has caused to the photography community and the team purposely disregards a pricing model for the add-on. We announce the feature will be free for now and the foreseeable future.  
April 8, 2020
Alpha Testing
We invited members of the Sprout Studio Facebook Community to become alpha testers. We were blown away by the response and the sense of community while testing. Never have we witnessed such camaraderie and we are so proud of our community for their tireless and diligent support to make sure the feature is solid, stable, and reliable.
April 23, 2020
Final Touches
The development team works overtime to finalize the remaining improvements while building impromptu enhancements and extensions. The "MVP" version is so far beyond what the team could've ever dreamed of being released and in record time.
April 27, 2020
Launch
It's here. And it's all yours. Email Marketing. We wanted to support our community during these uncertain times in the biggest way we could... but little did we realize the return of support we'd receive from the community throughout this entire process. Thank you, sincerely from your Sprout Studio family.

Email Designer + Updates
You asked, we delivered! On August 17, we pushed the largest update to Email Marketing: Email Designer! Now you can design full on email newsletters to send to your clients. Aesthetics meet utility, form meets function, and pretty meets useful.

Plus! We also released Email Lists, letting you build customized and reusable email lists, and more in-depth metrics and statistics!

introducing pretty emails

Put on a fresh coat of paint

Now all of your emails can look great! With pretty emails, you can send every day emails with that extra bit of "wow" and show off your brand the way you want!
A plain email is a plain-text email and looks the same as it would look as if you were to type a personal email in Gmail, Mac OS mail or from your phone.
A pretty email is a more refined and stylized email. It has a header image, a heading, the email content and a button (where applicable). You can also choose from a dark or light theme as well as two different font options.

Mario Masitti

biography

These are two email funnels that are catered to high school senior photographers. You can use these as an email sequence for either the senior or the parent. These are great to provide pure value to your client/potential client, and also to cross-pollinate your social links and a variety of content pieces. These also translate really well to other platforms (aka using this sequence on Instagram or Facebook) if you find your clients are less on email. Feel free to modify these in a way that makes sense for you and your business.

August 17 Update

Your emails just
got a facelift.

With the all-new Designer Emails, you can build the most beautiful emails on the market. And it's as simple as drag-and-drop! The best part? You don't have to sacrifice utility and usefulness - they're still fully compatible with every email client, and they're fully searchable and scannable.

Let's face it - email is outdated 👎

Email marketing tools have always been cumbersome to work with. They're limiting, hard to use and never end up looking the way you want.

Or you have the opposite problem - your email marketing can be pretty, but it ends up rendering your entire email as a sequence of images, which is a no-no in terms of email deliverability, compatibility and accessibility.
Not to mention it's completely unindexable, searchable and scannable.

With all of the options right now, you are forced to choose between aesthetics and utility. Form and function. Prettiness and usefulness.

Until now...

The drag-and-drop email builder that'll allow you to create the most beautiful emails on the market.

email lists

Make it reusable

Email marketing is two parts - what you're saying and who you're saying it to. We upgraded the Sprout Studio email marketing platform to more closely reflect that. Now, you can create separate email lists (the "who" part) and choose them in your email campaigns (the "what" part) over and over again.
