The Planly jobs you can stop doing yourself
You stay in charge of what goes out. Flann does the reading, the drafting and the chasing.
The monthly newsletter, drafted
Today
Each month you stare at a blank template in Planly, trying to remember what happened that customers would care about. The newsletter goes out late, or not at all.
With Flann
“Draft this month’s newsletter in Planly: new autumn menu, the quiz night and our Sunday opening.”
Flann writes the newsletter in your voice, uses a layout you have sent before from Planly and offers a choice of subject lines. It saves nothing yet.
What you stop doing: No more blank template at the end of the month.
One offer, several languages
Today
Your customers read in more than one language, but the campaign in Planly goes out in one. Translating it properly means another tool, another copy and another check.
With Flann
“Translate the Ramadan offer email in Planly into Arabic and French.”
Writing each version as a native speaker would, Flann keeps your offer, links and layout intact and prepares a separate draft in Planly for each language list. Different language, same promise.
What you stop doing: Customers who read in another language finally get the same offer.
