    You’re able to create and manage your campaigns using these features.

    Emails sent/opened and links clicked

    Each email and any links contained within can be tracked 

    Deliverability rate and delivery by time zone (spam)

    Send messages by receipt time, rather than delivery

    Creating and importing email lists

    You can upload recipient lists from CSV files, excel, and any email software, or enter them manually

    Multivariate testing can be used constantly here, even to between two contacts, to improve your content

    Content blocks can be used to auto-personalize messages

    You can analyze the success of your campaigns with these features

    Engagement reports (Email open rate and CR tracking)

    You’re able to assess who opened which emails

    Segmentation 

    You can manually divide your contacts, or automate segmentation based on customer’s responses 

    Social media tracking

    A drag-and-drop editor lets you use your mouse for design

    Summary

    Connected View has an impressive list of services that it offers, and the email marketing options could certainly enable you to reach more customers and to better engage your current contacts. However, the prices are quite steep for what's available.

    A more affordable option you could try is MailChimp, where there are more options for automation, and prices start from only $9.99.
