Great Customer Service!
I recently joined Sender to help my business scale our marketing and customer engagement. I want to say a big thank you to Michael from Sender for helping me with the toll free number verification form. There were problems that were out of my reach and he noticed that I wasn't able to submit the form and was able to walk me through each step of the way! thank you Michael, stay awesome!

Quick and Easy Support
When you have a problem, you get helped really quickly by a person and not a bot. It makes a huge difference. There is support team is on the ball. Nathan was a great help. He was able to provide quick answers and double check the cause and solution to my problems. The WP plug in works great. Creating, designing, and sending emails is an absolute breeze.

Great Support! Glad I switched
I was with mailchimp back in the day and switched to sender.net in recent times. I'm glad I made the switch! Although their design UX isn't the best (tbh it felt a bit clunky), but the backend stuff gets done and the support was amazing. I was having quite a bit of challenges (not the sharpest tool in the box here), and Malissa was very patient with my questions and helped me resolved my issues. Did I mention I was on the free plan? If this support and great work continues - I don't see why I won't be a paid user in the future. Victor - Victor Physical Preparation

Great Newsletter Integration
Switched from Mailchimp to Sender due to being a EU based company and I'm in EU. The setup was not completely straightforward but the staff was responding really fast and after the initial setup, everything works like a charm.

Sender is a Godsend
It's been an incredible switch to SENDER after using quite a few alternatives over the past few years, completely glitch free, easy to set up and get started. Especially for those new to email marketing, this is a complete game changer. It's also extremely economical, with a professional look. Many thanks to Malissa at Customer Support for her super fast response! Feeling 'SEEN' and 'HEARD'~!! Thank you!
