Whether you run a beach bar in Grand Anse, a chocolate factory in St. Patrick’s or a school in Carriacou, your newsletter should look like you, read well on a phone and take minutes, not days, to put together. Mailpro offers three ways to build it, so you can choose the one that suits your skills and time.
Option 1: the drag-and-drop builder
The newsletter builder lets you assemble an email from blocks: headings, text, images, buttons, social links and dividers. No design experience is needed. Drop in a photo of the week’s catch, add a line of text and a booking button, and you are done.
Option 2: the WYSIWYG editor
If you prefer to write and format directly, the WYSIWYG editor shows the email exactly as it will look while you type. It suits text-led newsletters, such as a church bulletin, a co-operative update or a school notice.
Option 3: your own HTML
Agencies and developers can import their own code. Our page on HTML newsletters explains how to import, test and send custom designs.
Start from a template
Mailpro includes more than 600 newsletter templates, including designs for hotels, restaurants, events and travel. Change the colours to match your brand, swap the photos for your own images of Grenada, and keep the layout.
Make it personal
Readers respond to messages that feel written for them. Learn how to add names, locations and custom content in our guide to personalised newsletters, and send different versions to different groups with segmentation.
Built for mobile readers
Most Grenadian readers will open your newsletter on a phone. Every Mailpro template adapts to the screen, and the preview lets you check the mobile and desktop versions before sending. Keep images light so the email loads quickly on any connection.
Before you send
- Send a test to yourself and a colleague, on different phones.
- Check that every link works and that the unsubscribe link is present.
- Make sure your business name and address appear in the footer.
- Schedule the send in Atlantic Standard Time, or at a time that suits overseas readers.
Ideas for your first issues
- A short introduction to your team, with photos.
- A seasonal feature tied to Independence Day, Easter, the Chocolate Festival, Spicemas or Christmas.
- A “locals’ guide” for visitors: favourite beaches, rum shops, fish fry nights or hiking trails.
- A customer story or review, with permission.
- A behind-the-scenes look at how your product is made, from nutmeg processing to bean-to-bar chocolate.
Keep a list of ideas through the month, so you never start from a blank page.
After you send
Open the campaign statistics to see how many people opened and clicked, and which content they preferred. Use it to shape your next issue. If you are new to newsletters, our step-by-step guide walks through the whole process for a Grenadian business.
