MixMax combines the functionality of at least 5 different standalone email apps that I used to use
- Sidekick (free for limited email tracking. $50 / month for their business plan)
- Boomerang (for email scheduling, delayed emails, reminders)
- Wisestamp (for email signature)
- Attach.io for (document attachments / open rates)
- Followup.cc for email reminders
- Email marketing software like Mailchimp
Let’s take a look at some of these features in more detail:
Email Tracking and Desktop Notification
Automate Insertion of Snippets of Text
Load preset templates or snippets of text or embed images, videos, maps with slash commands. For example:
/g pulls up the gifs
/YN pulls up polls
Automate lead nurturing from your inbox
Create email drip campaign with conditional logic. Load sharable templates or snippets of text. Set yourself follow up reminders.
Mass Personalisation
Track Real Time Analytics
Keep Templates Organised With Folders
Attach Interactive Data Tables in Gmail
Schedule Meetings Without Leaving your Inbox
The *first* and essential productivity suite for Google Inbox
Attach PDF or other documents in Gmail which can be previewed without downloading the document
Pricing
The basic product is free which gives access to a lot of features currently not available in Gmail. Their most expensive package is $49 (same price as SideKick for Business) and lets you custom brand your email and landing pages.
Customers
Anyone who uses email will find use in these features, particularly those in business, sales and real estate. Note the integrations with Google Calendar (Google Drive has been added), Dropbox, Box, Github, Markdown, Giphy and Twitter!
User reviews have been outstanding and an impressive enterprise client list, once a secret as they have been custom branding MixMax have now been revealed. As you can see, even the likes of Google and Salesforce.com use Mixmax.
Summary
Mixmax certainly looks like a winner and I have not been this excited about a new add-on for a while. I’ve already installed it and am loving it’s bright colours and range of features.
One thing that is missing is the ability to look up social profiles like Sidekick or Rapportive. However, I’m sure an integration is on the cards. While I do not think MixMax will displace existing marketing automation software (like Hubspot), it could certainly pose a threat to single-feature apps like Attach.io or Boomerang. It’s ability to integrate with Enterprise apps like CRM systems / Dropbox / Google Apps and willingness to allow custom branding will make it an attractive add-on for all users, from Startups to large Enterprises.
For a salesperson, solopreneur or small business, this could be the perfect alternative to a lefty investment in marketing automation or email marketing software.
