What it is

Email & SMS Marketing, plainly.

Email and SMS are the highest-use channels for repeat customer purchase. A list of 500 engaged customers, properly managed, returns more revenue than 50,000 social followers. The mechanics are well-understood: send relevant content, segment by behavior, time it right, keep deliverability clean.

Our marketing tool is built into the platform: contacts come from your CRM (no list import drama), templates pull from your brand kit (every email is on-brand), and sends go through dedicated IPs warmed up for your domain (deliverability stays high).

For SMS, we handle the A2P 10DLC registration with carriers (a hard requirement since 2023), TCPA compliance (opt-in language, opt-out keywords), and per-state messaging law variations. Send broadcast SMS to opted-in lists, transactional SMS for order updates, and triggered SMS based on behavior.

FAQ

Common questions.

Are templates included?
Yes. 50+ pre-built email templates plus SMS broadcast formats, all auto-themed to your brand.
Is SMS marketing legal?
Yes, with proper opt-in (TCPA). We require opt-in language and handle opt-out keywords automatically.
What is A2P 10DLC?
Application-to-Person 10-Digit Long Code. US carriers (since 2023) require business SMS senders to register their use case to send to consumer phones. We handle the registration.
Deliverability?
We monitor inbox placement, manage sender reputation, and rotate IPs for high-volume senders.
Will my emails go to spam?
Not if your list is clean and engaged. Cold lists and spam-trap addresses tank deliverability fast.
Can I A/B test?
Yes. Subject line tests, content tests, send-time tests.
Automations?
Yes. Welcome series, abandoned cart, birthday, post-purchase, win-back, custom drip.
Revenue tracking?
Yes, if you connect Shopify, WooCommerce, or Stripe. Revenue attributed per campaign.
Multi-list management?
Yes. Tag-based and list-based segmentation supported.

How it works

How we deliver, end-to-end.

Four-step path from request to confirmation. State and IRS turnaround varies; our steps run in parallel where possible to compress the timeline.

1

Intake + scope

You tell us what you need through a short intake form (or a call for complex matters). We confirm scope, surface any gating issues (deadlines, missing documents, entity status), and quote any state fees that pass through at cost.

2

Prepare + verify

Our specialists draft the filing, verify entity details against state databases, run internal QA, and route any items needing your sign-off. You see drafts before anything gets submitted.

3

File with the authority

We submit directly to the state Secretary of State, FinCEN, IRS, USPTO, or whichever authority your filing requires. We pay state fees at cost and track the submission identifier in your account.

4

Confirmation + vault

Stamped certificate, IRS notice, or filing receipt arrives in your SOC 2 encrypted document vault the moment we receive it. Next filing deadline auto-added to your compliance calendar where applicable.
