Benchmark Email CrateJoy Integration
You must love subscriptions, right?
The prospect of having new and old customers knocking at your door monthly certainly is enticing. It sounds like an endless stream of income.
But running a subscription box business comes with its own set of challenges. For instance, you have to look for a platform tailor-made for subscriptions to handle your backend for you. You also need to get your product in front of the right customers. You might be thinking, “What if there is a marketplace for subscription boxes where I could just list my products?”
Well, there is such a platform. It's called CrateJoy.
CrateJoy is an all-in-one subscription platform to help you create or grow your subscription box business. With CrateJoy, you can host and design custom websites, list your subscription box in an online marketplace, and manage your business.
And since we know -- and you should too -- that email marketing is one of the most cost-efficient ways to drive new customers for business (even subscription businesses), we created our Benchmark Email integration with CrateJoy to help you manage your subscription box email marketing campaigns.
Let’s see why you need the Benchmark Email CrateJoy integration for your subscription box business.
Why Use CrateJoy?

One of the biggest perks CrateJoy offers you is its marketplace.
As a seller, you can list your subscription box on CrateJoy’s marketplace and have customers easily sign up for it. In terms of the number of eyeballs that could possibly view your subscription box, know that CrateJoy’s marketplace receives up to 4 million monthly page views.
This means that you can get started with selling your products without an elaborate marketing campaign and tap into CrateJoy clients to grow your subscription service.

We already said that CrateJoy allows you to easily put your subscription box in front of millions of people. If you do not have a marketing budget, that might be enough.
But CrateJoy doesn’t stop there. They go a step further with the marketing options they give you. You’ll also have access to coupons, recurring discounts, email marketing, referral programs, social media integration.

Customer management is a very important part of running a business. And CrateJoy also has you covered in that area.
On your CrateJoy dashboard, you’ll find features and functionalities that offer you a better way of keeping subscribers happy. For instance, your subscribers would be able to manage their subscriptions and change their product options by themselves. This will reduce the number of support calls and emails you get to deal with.
Also, the dashboard also allows you to view your active subscriptions, customer’s order history, shipping information, and all other information in one place, helping you create a memorable customer experience. And if you ever have any issues with customer management, Cratejoy Support is there to help.
