Additionally, Plausible allows us to track the performance of our marketing campaigns, ensuring that we can optimize our strategies effectively.
ActiveCampaign
We use ActiveCampaign as our newsletter and marketing automation system. Here we store your information, such as email address and first and last nameWe use this software to keep our communications as relevant as possible. Some emails are relevant to a specific group of contacts, but not to everyone. And in a time of email overload, we want to create maximum relevance and keep the number of emails to the minimum. ActiveCampaign and the data we collect in it contributes to that.
Google Ads tracking
