Perhaps consider working with a marketer?
This service allows you to auto-send emails based on tracking pixel hits (which is something GA can't do).
Additionally, most other analytics tools do this, but this one seems to have a similar price and limited functionality.
Not saying it wont work, just that the messaging needs a lot of improvement.
Other than that, I like the idea. Good for site owners who can't code something like this themselves.
This is a good idea in principle but the execution isn't really viable in its current form. They need to re-think how they get the e-mail addresses and how they keep track of users.
- https
- http://retentionbooster.com/site/api_addaction?action_name=l... should return a pixel not a text/html 1
- the response when a returning user logs in is currently a 500 error (insert into rb_retentions fails because of duplicate email)
- anyone can login to dashboard with a non registered email or non-email http://retentionbooster.com/site/adduser?email={random}&pass...
- make sure the retention email doesn't end up in spam folder
Does not seem to happen, here (shows the home page). Maybe you're cookied/logged in?
> - make sure the retention email doesn't end up in spam folder
That's not really up to him (except, of course, for basic sender stuff like SPF and DKIM).
- choosing a good transactional email service might be helpful.
Joke apart, I do think that it's a good idea but you really need to make it clearer. The first page is very vague: A dashboard that allows you to see what's going on in your operation? Are there any other types of dashboards?
You need to explain right from the beginning that you're product will help with sending emails to increase retention.
edit: Can confirm the authentication behavior now.
edit 2: In fact, the username is printed without any escaping.
