Getsitecontrol, the app we use to collect emails and promote special deals on the Designmodo website, has recently undergone a major transformation. In 2023, we expanded our services to include a comprehensive email marketing suite aimed at a broader audience.
The new version of Getsitecontrol allows users to generate leads, send promotional emails in bulk, create audience segments, and build automation.
In this article, we take a closer look at Getsitecontrol's new feature set, explore its improved interface, and discuss its pricing structure.
What is Getsitecontrol?
For the past few years, Getsitecontrol has been known as a website popup builder that allows you to add opt-in forms and promotional popups to any website without any coding. You may have found one of the following pop-ups on Designmodo.
However, in 2023, the Getsitecontrol team released a series of updates that expanded its feature set to email marketing.
The new version of the app allows you to promote special offers on your website, capture email addresses, tag subscribers, send promotional emails, and build automations.
Let's see what these features are.
Getsitecontrol Review: Key Features
Since Getsitecontrol started as a popup builder, popups are still an important part of the platform. You can create newsletter sign-up forms, coupons, promotions, and surveys and use them to collect leads for future email campaigns. However, instead of using third-party software to run these campaigns, you can now run them all under the same roof.
Versatile website popups and forms
To help you get started faster, Getsitecontrol offers a large gallery of inline and popup forms, as well as promotional widgets. In fact, you can view your gallery even if you're not logged into the app.
Once you choose a template, you can use the built-in editor to fine-tune the offer text and customize the appearance of the widget to match your website beautifully.
Email addresses collected through forms are stored in a contact database along with the rest of the information collected from each lead. However, you can also connect third-party software such as Hubspot, Google Sheets, and apps from the Zapier library. Additionally, you have the option to import your email list into Getsitecontrol via a CSV file or directly from Mailchimp.
Contact segmentation
Using your contact database, you can see how each contact joined your list and whether they interacted with your email (more on this later). However, the most important features here are tagging and segmentation.
There are several ways to build segments in Getsitecontrol. First, you can automatically tag new subscribers when they join your list and specify their purchasing interests and preferences.
You can also use email marketing automation to tag your contacts based on the email links they click. Also, if you import contacts from another app, keep the tags already assigned.
You can use tags and other contact parameters (location, OS, UTM, etc.) to build audience segments and plan more comprehensive and personalized email marketing campaigns and broadcasts.
email broadcast
Email broadcasts allow you to send promotional emails to all your contacts or to specific segments. This is a simple feature that helps you promote special offers, products and collections, restocked items, upcoming sales, or other important updates about your business.
Similar to website pop-ups, there is a gallery of email templates you can use to get started faster and avoid blank page paralysis.
Use the built-in email editor to fine-tune your favorite templates or design professional-looking emails from scratch. All engagement elements like product cards, coupons, and countdown timers are available in the edit menu, so you don't need any design or coding knowledge to create beautiful emails.
Once your email is ready, select your recipients and start your campaign or schedule it for a future date.
email marketing automation
Getsitecontrol's automation allows you to send emails and tag contacts automatically. For example, you can create a welcome sequence and use it to build relationships with new subscribers by introducing your brand, highlighting your best sellers, or recommending products that might be of interest.
Create an automation once and it will fire on autopilot every time a trigger fires.
In the current version, automations can be triggered by a contact joining your email list or by a contact clicking on one of your emails. You can also build reusable sequences individually and launch them within other automations.
Pricing
Getsitecontrol has three subscription options: Creator ($9/month), Pro ($19/month), and Pro Max ($29/month).
Each plan caters to specific needs and offers varying levels of functionality. For example, if your primary needs are to attract subscribers, promote offers, and send promotional emails, the Creator plan is for you. However, if you want to use advanced audience targeting features and automation, they are only available on the Pro plan.
Notably, unlike many platforms, Getsitecontrol doesn't charge for the size of your contact list. When you use Broadcast, you only pay for the number of emails you send, and as a welcome gift, Send your first 1000 emails for free.
