Boosting ActiveCampaign newsletters with functional design tools
How CarStickers maximizes their email design and collaboration using RGE Studio, resulting in improved customer engagement and design efficiency.
Intro
CarStickers has been making custom stickers and decals for over 20 years. Its simple design tools let customers turn their own logos or artwork into vinyl stickers, or choose from CarStickers’ library of ready-to-go designs created by partner artists. As a leading manufacturer, CarStickers offers top-quality stickers and decals at the lowest prices in its industry.
"Being able to design in RGE Studio and export to ActiveCampaign has turned out to be the perfect partnership for our needs."
- Joel Steele , Chief Experience Officer at CarStickers
Challenge
As one of the most popular sticker and decal sites on the Internet, CarStickers relies on email marketing to sell its custom-made stickers, transfer stickers, and more. That meant the company needed an email design system that worked for its large customer base.
CarStickers committed to finding a strategy that would allow them to seamlessly create on-brand, responsive newsletters. Joel Steele, who serves as Chief Experience Officer at CarStickers, craved a design system that felt more natural and functional than ones the company had used in the past.
With only a few others on Joel’s team, their goal for a faster, more responsive email marketing process was crucial to their growth. The CarStickers team sensed their current time-consuming email template creation workflow needed a revamp. Consistently creating new, cohesive email templates that would captivate their customers proved challenging without easy-to-use tools and automation.
Solution
CarStickers needed an email design tool that kept its branding consistent while quickly creating fresh email templates to keep its audience interested. It also had to work with its automation tool, ActiveCampaign.
Exporting their HTML to ActiveCampaign had to result in perfectly rendered emails. Joel and his team chose RGE Studio over other email builders. RGE Studio’s drag-and-drop functionality, paired with ActiveCampaign’s automation capabilities, proved to be the perfect system combination.
Experience
Choosing RGE Studio and ActiveCampaign as its email stack leveled up CarStickers’ email design process. The pairing simplifies every step of an email campaign. From design to automation, everything is fast and effective. RGE Studio’s Mobile Design Mode lets the team switch between mobile and desktop views while editing, which was just what CarStickers needed to create fast, responsive emails.
“We love RGE Studio’s user experience. RGE Studio is very intuitive for the way we design.”
- Joel Steele , Chief Experience Officer at CarStickers
