They felt that other solutions lacked the formatting options to complete their vision. Sandbox had no way to stay connected with users and prospects, which made it difficult for them to establish relationships, build their brand and stay top of mind.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-40333\" src=\"https:\/\/www.benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/The-Key.png\" alt=\"Raising the Bar: The Key\" width=\"1355\" height=\"389\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Benchmark provided Sandbox with a simple and powerful drag and drop editor which allowed them to create beautiful emails. That made it easy for Sandbox to keep their customers and other interested parties engaged.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-40334\" src=\"https:\/\/www.benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/The-Playoff.png\" alt=\"Raising the Bar: The Payoff\" width=\"1355\" height=\"389\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Before using Benchmark, Sandbox had no way to stay connected with their customers and followers. Now, Sandbox has over 3,000 email subscribers and a 25% open rate on their emails!<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s look at how they&#8217;ve done it:<\/p>\n<h3>Above the Fold<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-40597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Screen-Shot-2019-08-05-at-11.43.23-AM.png\" alt=\"Sandbox Software email above the fold\" width=\"1332\" height=\"1454\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s necessary to delivery value with every email that hits a subscriber&#8217;s inbox. What could be more important than the safety of your children?! Plus, learning is always more fun in graphic form. It&#8217;s also a great choice for the hero image, with the smiling children, that does a great job of carrying their brand into the email. Plus, there is a clear Call To Action (CTA) that cannot be missed by subscribers.<\/p>\n<h3>Social Proof<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-40598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Screen-Shot-2019-08-05-at-11.44.05-AM.png\" alt=\"Sandbox Software email social proof\" width=\"1340\" height=\"1156\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Customer testimonials can go a long way towards attracting new subscribers and re-affirming the choices of your current customers. Plus, it can help sway any leads and prospects on your email list. After all, studies have shown that almost <a href=\"https:\/\/consumerist.com\/2015\/06\/03\/nearly-70-of-consumers-rely-on-online-reviews-before-making-a-purchase\/\">70 percent<\/a> of consumers will look to an online review before making a purchase. The graphic elements carry over from the hero image and continue the fun branding of Sandbox as the subscriber scrolls down.<\/p>\n<h3>Delivering Value with Good Content<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-40599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Screen-Shot-2019-08-05-at-11.44.32-AM.png\" alt=\"Sandbox Software email blog content\" width=\"954\" height=\"1694\" \/>Your newsletter can be one of the best drivers of traffic to your blog. Sharing your best posts via email is an excellent strategy and Sandbox does this well here. They give you just enough of a teaser to pique your interest and a clear CTA to get you to click-through to the blog. It&#8217;s important to create engagement with the emails you&#8217;re sending and so far through this email Sandbox offers several great click oppotunities.<\/p>\n<h3>The More You Know<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-40600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.benchmarkemail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Screen-Shot-2019-08-05-at-11.44.38-AM.png\" alt=\"Sandbox Software email footer\" width=\"956\" height=\"910\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Getting a subscriber to download your app can keep them around longer. It creates &#8220;stickiness&#8221; with your subscribers and customers. Also, your email subscribers may not be your social media followers. Give subscribers an opportunity to be both.<\/p>\n<p>With such a well-executed email, it&#8217;s no wonder Sandbox Software has been able to create good engagement and grow their email list.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in learning more about Sandbox Software, you can follow them on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sandboxteam\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sandboxsoftware\/\">Instagram<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sandboxchildcaresoftware\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sandbox was founded in 2011 when the two co-founders discovered the need for an administration software in the childcare industry.
