We've heard your requests, and we're pleased to announce the newest feature of StudioCloud: Email templates.

Email templates allow you even more control over your client management. With this new feature, you can create personalized and customizable text or HTML email templates

What is an email template?An email template is a document used to generate personalized text or HTML emails. Email templates can contain text, images, website links, and more.

What are the benefits of email templates?

• Staying in contact. One of the main reasons why businesses suffer from customer retention issues is a lack of contact. With the new email templates, you can quickly generate email which auto-populates your clients name, event information, invoice/order information and more.

• Send a customizable email to all your clients. If you're getting ready for the Holiday season, chances are you've thought about sending emails to your clients about your seasonal promotions. Why not do it all in StudioCloud? You can create a customized email template chock full of images, links, and texts and send it all at once to your clients-at the click of a button. The email auto-fills the clients name, address, and other information.
