Hi Poet!

We hope you're having a productive week!

This month the team has been continuing to work on some post-acquisition migration tasks, as well as starting the new phase of improvements on our segmentation functionality. We're super excited to be introducing new segment options to MailPoet over the upcoming months - keep your eyes peeled for updates 👀

Over on the blog, we've been digging deep into email analytics and welcome email sequences. As always, if there's an email marketing topic you'd like to see us cover, please feel free to respond to this email to let us know!

Finally, please join me in welcoming the latest member of the MailPoet team, Arnaud 👋 Fun fact: this isn't the first time Arnaud has joined MailPoet! He worked with us between 2016 - 2018, but missed us so much that he decided to return 😉 It's great to have you back, Arnaud!

Have a great week,

Laura and the MailPoet team

the word welcome in glowing letters
