Five Cool Android Apps for Email Marketers
5 days ago by Jim Ducharme
I’m a bit of a rebel at GetResponse
because I’m one of the few PC users in a sea of iFanatics. There’s no debating
that Mac’s app store is packed with cool apps and Android has ways to go to
catch up to them overall, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some gems for
email marketers! Below, you’ll find five of my fav Android apps for email
marketers on the go.
Much like the technology they work with, email marketers are
always on the go and that’s why we created the GetResponse Android app. You can
add contacts, send plain text messages, view analytics and even email those
stats to others. This is an absolute must have for any email marketer!
Let’s say you want to show team members something in one of
your templates and you’re on the move with no access to a laptop. Explaining it
in words is awkward and time consuming and hard on the thumbs. Skitch solves
this by allowing you to easily annotate images. It even has a highlighter for marking
up text and you know how handy that will be for fine tuning your newsletter copy on the run.
Email marketers read a lot of stuff and it’s not all in
email. We are constantly learning and updating our skills. It’s hard to keep up
with so many blogs focused on email and online marketing in general. Pocket is
a handy little app which allows you stash interesting posts, videos and more.
So, you can stock up on content to catch up on when you’re 30 thousand feet in
the air (for example) and don’t have an internet connection. It’s also helpful
for organizing content for easy retrieval anytime.
Are you an Android user who feels left out because you don’t
have something like Siri for the iPhone? Well, the good news is that Vlingo is
your very own personal assistant for Android – Just llike Siri, but a little
more humble. With Vlingo you can send updates to Twitter or Facebook, ask for
help finding restaurants and oh, send emails too, just by speaking.
Bluetooth seems to be one of those technologies which you
don’t really appreciate till you find a use for it and transferring files is
certainly useful. As its name implies, Bluetooth file transfer allows you
to FTP files from your phone to any Bluetooth device wirelessly. Email
geeks will love that you can also transfer contacts from one device to another.
