We have tried a lot after the many years. Depending on how your company, project or client is set up, there are different solutions. In general, the most recommended for setting up good email campaigns is Klick Tipp. Many online marketing agencies swear by this tool.

Costs and tariffs for access

The most important for all startups and younger companies: How much does Klick-Tipp cost? There are different pricing models depending on whether you pay monthly, annually, if you’re a small business or a larger one and need capacity and extras accordingly. Here are the basic rates:

• KlickTipp Standard (entry level): ~ 27 Euro up to 10.000 contacts

After that it changes between Standard, Premium (+20 Euro), Deluxe (+40 Euro) and Enterprise (+122 Euro).

Try Klick-Tipp for free? Is that possible?

Unfortunately you cannot test the program for free.

How can I cancel Klick-Tipp?

If you want to cancel Klick-Tipp to switch to another email marketing provider, go through these steps:

1. Contact Klick-Tipp Support (Cancellation)
2. Export data from the newsletter system (otherwise your data will be lost)

What is a funnel or sales funnel?

When you collect email adresses, you have direct access to targeted, quality contacts. Klick-Tipp helps you as a (German [privacy]) email marketing provider to build lists, segment target groups and automate your email marketing (funnel).

You always start in the so-called cockpit. In the cockpit, you can make the various settings and create links. Here you have a complete overview of your prepared, running and past campaigns.

Segmentation of target groups

In fact, Klick-Tipp was one of the very first email systems in the world where you could manage your subscribers using tags (so-called labels) rather than simple lists. Meanwhile, the software learns itself, through so-called SmartTags. So it learns through email-based tags and gives you suggestions for improvement.

Automate: Follow-up emails

Tagging allows you to write to your contacts in an extremely targeted manner. The newsletter software is therefore specifically tailored to the needs of online marketers. If you want to have a strong, much-used newsletter or email marketing, the Klick-Tipp automations are perfect.

What does automation mean?

What does automation mean for SMEs? Time, geographical and financial freedom thanks to email marketing (better than selling offline).

Is free software better?

Quality has its price, even if it is quite low at only 27 euros. Compared to what you can get with good email marketing from 1,000 contacts.

Free software has the disadvantage that it is always limited in the functions. So anyone who really wants to do sustainable email marketing and thus drive their own sales up, should rely on professional software.

Through numerous best practice examples, it shows that just the paid providers, deliver the most performance. Also from my own experience, the limitation starts e.g. with the amount of email adresses and continues with the functionality around Call-To-Action and analysis as well as monitoring.
