Wix Studio: Creating and Sending Email Marketing Campaigns
5 min read
Create a professional email marketing campaign in Wix Studio and send it to your clients. Choose a template or start from scratch to customize your email campaign. Preview and test your campaign, choose your recipients, and send it out. Your campaign will then be reviewed for compliance before being sent to your recipients.
Once your email campaign is sent, you can view detailed statistics to see how your recipients interacted with your email.
Note:
This feature is available to Partners who are part of the Wix Marketplace and to those who used email marketing in the Partners Dashboard before switching to Studio.
