Where Flann saves you time in Dripcel
Small jobs, repeated often, are where the time goes. Here is how they change once Dripcel is connected.
Segments based on what people buy
Today
You know which customers buy for their children and which only come in for themselves, but Dripcel treats them all the same. Building segments by hand never quite happens.
With Flann
“Tag everyone in Dripcel who bought kids’ shoes this year so we can tell them about the sale.”
Matching purchase history against your subscribers, Flann builds a segment in Dripcel of everyone who fits and shows you who is in and who was left out. Quick to check.
What you stop doing: Targeted emails stop needing an afternoon of filtering.
Reusing the post that worked
Today
When a post or email does well, you mean to reuse it. Finding it again in Dripcel and reworking it for another channel keeps slipping down the list.
With Flann
“What was our best post last month in Dripcel? Turn it into an email.”
Looking through last month’s results in Dripcel, Flann finds the strongest post and explains, in a sentence, why it probably landed. Then it reworks the idea as an email draft.
What you stop doing: Good ideas get a second life instead of a single outing.
