Email Marketing for SaaS
The difference between a 15% and a 40% trial-to-paid conversion rate is often just the right email at the right moment. Taildove's sequences trigger on real user behaviour — not a weekly blast schedule.

The SaaS lifecycle
Each stage of the SaaS lifecycle needs a different message. Taildove triggers the right one automatically — from first signup to renewal.
The highest-engagement moment is the first day. An onboarding sequence fires the moment someone signs up — guiding them to their first meaningful action before the novelty wears off and the tab gets closed.

Trial Conversion — Segment Split
Logged in 3+ times, used 2+ features
Automated message
"You're getting great results. Here's what you'd lose if your trial ended today..."
Signed up but haven't activated key features
Automated message
"Stuck? Here are the 3 things most users set up first..."
Segment trial users by engagement. Active users get a conversion nudge — why now, what they'd lose. Passive users get a help email — what's blocking them. Two messages, one goal: convert before the trial ends.
It's easier to save a customer who's drifted than one who's made up their mind. Segment users who haven't engaged recently and send targeted re-engagement before they consciously decide to cancel. Post-conversion sequences reinforce the decision and surface advanced features.

New signups, tag changes, and lifecycle events in your app become sequence triggers in Taildove. Import usage data, plan type, feature adoption, or any custom field — then build segments that reflect how users actually interact with your product.
SaaS lists grow with your product. Per-contact pricing means your email bill grows with every new trial signup. Taildove's flat monthly rate stays predictable regardless of list size — and your domain reputation is protected so marketing email never bleeds into transactional sending.
