Updated for 2022!

Sendlane was founded in 2013 by Jimmy Kim, Zak Meftah and Anik Singal, all very successful internet entrepreneurs.

Jimmy Kim and Anik Singal were looking for an all inclusive management system for their online business.

Despite their connections in the industry, they were unable to find what they were looking for.

In true entrepreneurial fashion, they recognized the problem and decided to create their own solution.

They had a vision to create the Ultimate Digital Marketing Platform with the ability to create and manage Intelligence Driven Behavior Bases Automations, Campaigns, Broadcasts, and sales marketing funnels.

A complete email marketing automation platform for their digital marketing businesses.

After clocking in over 1,000 hours of development, They opened their doors for their very first customer in 2015.

Optimized Timing

This Sendlane Feature is one of my favorites. It automatically sends your email based on the time that each of your subscribers usually open their emails.

Think about how powerful hat is for a minute.

Campaign Reports and Analytics

Sendlane's campaign reports and analytics allow you to keep your finger on the pulse of your email campaigns and adjust your strategy based on performance.

Email Statistics

• Open Rates
• Click Rates

Sendlane Tagging Feature

Sendlane's tagging feature allows you to automatically tag subscribers based on what they did or did not do.

You can then decide what actions to send to each tagged subscribers. This makes the segmentation product as automated as it can be.

Industry-leading Customer Support Team

The Sendlane Support team is only a click away, even if you’re not a customer yet. They provide 24/7 support, 365 days out of the year through live chat or email.

Other email autoresponder services tend to be hard to get a hold of. Emailing support may take hours or days, and you may not get the answer you were looking for.

I had my first encounter with Sendlane support recently on a Sunday morning.

I had a question that i couldn't find the answer to in their extensive knowledge database.

Their average response time is a whooping 3 minutes, but chances are you will be talking to a Sendlane Support Specialist in less than that. Additionally, they have worked on an extensive knowledge base full of very helpful tutorials where you can easily learn how to get started with Sendlane.

I emailed support at 8:27 am and received a comprehensive response at 8:32 am.

That's impressive.

Sendlane is continuing its tradition of developing high tech innovation and development of the tools and processes used by the best marketers in the business, by introducing Sendlane 3.0.

Here is a breakdown of Sendlane 3.0 to be launched on February 1st 2019.

Sendlane has taken their already easy to use interface and made it even intuitive! It is a breath of fresh air to see a company that listens to its users and has the resources to implement recommended changes.

They have added some really cool new features for 2019, including a brand new pop up form builder and a visual workflow builder.

They have added integrations with smarter, intelligence driven capabilities that allow you to automate all of your marketing.

Right from the Sendlane dashboard, you can quickly update your advertising efforts with Facebook, you can use their GotoWebinar integration to see attendance results after your webinar and so much more!

 You can also leverage all of their powerful connections to provide the deepest data from your favorite shopping carts.

As you may know, email is my favorite way to stay in touch with my clients and customers, but with Sendlane 3.0 it's only ONE of the communication methods available to you. With this update, you'll have access to brand new SMS automation and in the near future, you can expect new communication channels such as Push Notifications, Chat Bots, and in-app Messaging. (ETA mid 2019)

Their goal is to provide a command center where you can manage all of your marketing communication with every single contact, lead or customer.

Most integrations simply pull a contacts' name and email.

Sendlane 3.0 asks the question:  Why does it have to stop there? They are building intelligent integrations that seek and record data at the deepest levels available.

From user actions to buying history to how long someone attended your webinar, they are "listening" so you can monitor and track the customer journey of every single contact on your list.

2019 is shaping up to be an incredible year to be associated with Sendlane!

One of the hottest buzzwords in 2018 is retargeting or remarketing. It is a term used to describe a way of advertising that gets customers or potential customers back to your website.

Sendlane has just introduced email retargeting for all of its customers as a new feature included at no cost.

1. A subscriber visits your website.
2. The visitor leaves your website without taking a pre-prescribed action that you wanted them to take. (purchase your product, or some other action)
3. An email is automatically sent to them to convince them to come back to your site.

Sendlane Deliverability

There have been many people questioning Sendlane deliverability. I have moved a small number of subscribers to them in order to test the Sendlane deliverability and I have found it to be in line with my other autoresponders.

I should say that deliverability is dependent on many different issues and it is hard to make a judgement on deliverability without sending the exact same message, with exact subject line to a list that has substantially the same average open rates.

So this is what I did in order to test Sendlane deliverability.

I found that the Sendlane open rate was slightly lower than my other responder open rate, but it is hard to tell whether that was a deliverability issue or not.

Sendlane Review Summary

We have covered a lot in this Sendlane Review and I think we have answered any questions that you may have.

I found Sendlane a few years ago, when I was building my online business with Wealthy Affiliate, but they were just getting the company off the ground and with any young company, there were problems.

So I let them grow and work through their problems before I decide to give them a test drive and evaluate them for this review.

What I found was an autoresponder company with extremely lofty goals to provide an all in one management system for digital marketers.

That is a big undertaking and when you try to be everything to everybody, sometimes things fall through the cracks.

I believe that they have gotten through the initial growing pains and are on their way to becoming one of the premier autoresponders in the email marketing industry.
