Maintaining contact with your customers is the foundation of a good marketing strategy. Among the methods for building customer loyalty to maintain a lasting relationship over time, sending newsletters is one of the best performings.
To do this, it is not enough to send a series of e-mails without targeted and quality content, on the contrary, for the sending of newsletters to bring results, it is necessary to create personalized content for each customer, often creating multiple lists of users based on their common characteristics (for example, users who have not completed a purchase, customers to whom to send promotions or to send birthday newsletters, and so on).
However, creating lists of users is only the beginning of a good strategy as there are still other necessary actions to be carried out and require the use of a module (or plugin) to be added in Joomla to manage the submission of newsletters effectively, but also to analyze and monitor the results and even to automate the process.

As one of the most popular CMS (Content Management System), Joomla boasts many extensions and modules of all kinds, including certainly an excellent module for subscribing, sending, managing and monitoring newsletters.
This is AcyMailing, one of the best known and most appreciated modules for managing newsletters and creating real e-mail marketing campaigns.
