Services · Mailing List
A mailing list you never have to run.
Most email tools hand you a blank editor and a list of settings. We do the whole job instead: the sign-up form on your site, the design, the writing, the scheduling and the sending. You tell us what you want to say and approve it with one click.
Fully managed
You have one job: say yes.
Self-serve tools are cheap until you count the evenings. Here is how the work splits.
-
We design it
Every email uses your logo and your website’s colors, so it looks like it came from you, because it did.
-
We write it
Give us a sentence or a voicemail. We turn it into a clear, short email with one obvious thing to click.
-
We schedule it
Pick a day and time, or let us choose a good weekday morning in your time zone.
-
We send it
Sign-ups, unsubscribes, bounces and the rules that keep you out of spam folders are handled for you.
-
You approve it
Nothing reaches your customers until you’ve seen the exact email and pressed Approve.
-
You keep the list
Your subscribers are yours. Ask for a copy any time, at no charge.
On your website
A sign-up form your customers can fill in in five seconds.
We add a short sign-up box to the page of your choice: an email address and a Subscribe button, nothing more. Every new subscriber gets a confirmation email and is only added once they click it, so your list is made of real people who asked to hear from you.
It also keeps your emails out of spam folders, which is the part most lists get wrong.
At events
A QR sign for your booth, table or counter.
No more clipboards and handwriting nobody can read. Visitors scan the sign with their phone camera, type their name and email on a one-screen page with just your logo, and they’re on your list once they confirm by email.
We make the sign for you, in your logo and colors, and send you the print-ready file. Tell us the event and we tag every sign-up with it, so you know which fair was worth the table. Have a tablet? We can set the page up to reset after each sign-up, so the next visitor can join right there.
Ready-made templates, in your colors.
Four templates cover almost everything a small business sends. Each one picks up your logo and your website’s color theme automatically. These samples are for made-up businesses so you can see how different brands come out.
Need something else, like a menu, a price list or a seasonal look? We’ll design a custom template for you.
Announcement — news, a new service, new hours 
Offer — a discount or promotion, with a code and an end date 
Event — an open house, a class or a sale day, with when and where 
Roundup — a few short updates from your month
How a send works
From “we should tell people” to sent, without opening an app.
- 01
Tell us what to say
Email, text or leave a voicemail at changes@pagetend.com, the same way you ask for any change to your site. A sentence is enough.
- 02
We draft it
We pick the right template, write the words and send a test copy to your inbox, exactly as your customers will see it.
- 03
You approve and schedule
Press Approve and schedule in the test email, or just reply “approve”. Want a change? Reply with it and we send a new draft.
- 04
It goes out on time
Sent on the date and time you chose, in your own time zone. You get a copy in your inbox when it goes.
- 05
See how it did
Ask us any time for how many were delivered and how many people clicked.
One click
You see the exact email before anyone else does.
The approve page shows the email, how many subscribers it will go to and when it will be sent. Approving it is one button.
If anything changes after you approve, the approval is cleared and you see the new version first. Nothing is ever sent on a guess.
How it compares
An email tool versus an email done.
Self-serve email tools are good software. They still need someone to design, write and send every email, and that someone is usually the owner.
| An email tool versus an email done. | A self-serve email tool | PageTend mailing list |
|---|---|---|
| Sign-up form on your site | You build and embed it | We add it |
| Sign-ups at events | A clipboard you type in later | A QR sign in your brand, made for you |
| Email design | Pick a template, then adjust it | Your logo and colors, done for you |
| Writing the email | You | We write it from your notes |
| Scheduling and sending | You | We do it, after you approve |
| Confirmed sign-ups and unsubscribe | You set them up | Built in |
| Price | Usually priced by list size | $49 a month, unlimited subscribers |
Questions
What people ask before they add it.
How do I request a new email?
The same way you ask for any change to your site: email, text or leave a voicemail at changes@pagetend.com. Tell us what it’s about, who it’s for and roughly when. We do the rest and send you a test copy to approve.
Can I schedule it for a certain date and time?
Yes. Give us the date and time and it goes out then, in your own time zone. If you don’t mind when, we’ll pick a weekday morning, which tends to get read.
Do you provide any reporting?
Yes. We track how many emails were delivered, bounced and unsubscribed, and how many people clicked the links. Ask us any time after a send and we’ll tell you how it did. We don’t track opens: modern email apps make open counts unreliable, and clicks are the number that matters.
Can I see the email before it goes out?
Always. You get a test copy in your own inbox with an Approve and schedule button. Nothing is sent without your approval, and if the email changes after you approve, you approve the new version.
Can you make a custom template?
Yes. If the four templates don’t fit, say a weekly specials list or a seasonal design, tell us what you have in mind and we’ll design one in your colors.
How many emails can I send?
Two a month are included. If you need more, extra emails are $25 each, and we’ll always tell you before one is charged. Unused emails don’t roll over.
Is there a limit on subscribers?
No. Your list can grow as big as it likes. If it passes about 10,000 subscribers, we’ll talk with you about sending costs before anything changes.
Can people sign up at an event or in my shop?
Yes. We make you a QR sign in your logo and colors, as a print-ready PDF and image, sized for a table stand or a letter page. Scanning it opens a short sign-up page on your site with just a name, an email and a Join button. Tell us the event name and we’ll tag those sign-ups so you can see how many came from it.
Can I bring my existing list?
Yes, as long as the people on it agreed to hear from you, such as customers who signed up in your shop. We’ll ask you to confirm that when you send it to us. Buying or borrowing a list isn’t allowed: it hurts delivery for everyone.
How do people unsubscribe?
Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link, and email apps like Gmail show their own unsubscribe button too. It takes effect straight away. Every email also carries your business address, as the law requires.
Whose name is it sent from?
Your business name. Replies go straight to your own inbox, not to us. It’s sent through our mail service by default; if you’d like it sent from your own domain, we can set that up.
Do I need a PageTend website?
Yes. The mailing list is an add-on to a website plan: the sign-up form lives on your site and the emails link back to it. It’s $49 a month on the same invoice, or $490 a year on an annual plan.
Can I cancel it?
Yes, any time. It’s month to month. Sending stops at the end of the month you’ve paid for, and your list stays yours: ask for a copy and we’ll send it.
Add it to your site
Stay in touch with your customers. We’ll do the work.
