Reporting and analytics
MailBuddy provides you with great looking real-time reports that let you measure the effectiveness of every campaign you send.

Advanced features
A/B split testing
The A/B testing feature makes it smple to test your email campaigns and learn from them every time.
Write two different subject lines and see which one generates the most opens. Design completely different emails and see which version gets the most clicks. You tell us how to decide a winner, we’ll send the two options to a sample of your list and then automatically send the winner to everyone else.
Spam testing tool
Testing your design in all the different email clients is the most frustrating part of sending email campaigns. Our design and spam testing tool changes all that by doing the hard work for you.
Getting your email delivered isn't just about choosing a great email service provider. Your content might be triggering filters and not being read.
Instead of just scanning your content for "spammy words", we’ll pass your email through real spam filters and tell you which ones it passes, and which failed.
We’ll also run your email through a number of key spam firewalls - the gatekeepers for most ISP’s and large corporations.
Autoresponders and drip campaigns
Autoresponders make it easy to stay in touch with your subscribers without lifting a finger. Quickly build and schedule a series of automated welcome messages, birthday greetings and other date-based campaigns.
Set the rules around when an autoresponder should be sent using the triggers (New Subscriber, Anniverary of a date and exact match for a date), and then tell us what to send. MailBuddy will do the rest.
Target groups and make it personal
MailBuddy lets you easily personalize your emails. You can build segments in your list that target a specific type of subscriber. These can be based on any subscriber demographics you've captured as well as past campaign activity, such as only those subscribers that opened the last 3 emails or clicked a specific link..
Worldview - Know your subscribers
Every time you send a campaign, MailBuddy will show you who is opening it, clicking links, forwarding it to their friends, liking it on Facebook or mentioning it on Twitter and will show you this on a map, in real-time, all wrapped in a gorgeous UI.
Worldview also includes a neat breakdown of where all your subscribers are located across the globe. We've also made it easy to share so friends and colleagues can watch the action with you as it happens.
From big picture to close up
Our reporting makes it easy to zoom right down to the subscriber level and see a timeline of exactly what they did with your email.
Take this a step further and see your lifetime history with that person. Which campaigns did they open, what links were they interested in, how many times have they forwarded my emails?
All this and more is at your fingertips for every subscriber in your account and is updated in real-time.
Which email clients are they using?
The hardest part about designing emails is making them look great in the dozens of email clients out there. Our email client report makes that a thing of the past by showing exactly which email clients your subscribers are using.
When you combine this report with our design and spam testing service, you can generate screenshots of exactly how your design looks in all these email key clients with a single click.
Compare campaigns and spot trends
Statistics like open and click rates are useful for each campaign, but it's when you start comparing results over time the data really shines. By looking at trends, the MailBuddy compare campaigns report makes it easy to see exactly what is and isn't working in the emails you send.
By comparing stats like opens, clicks, bounces, unsubscribes and even spam complaints, you can quickly see what content your subscribers find relevant, and just as importantly, what they don't.
