Hey guys, Instagram, I want to show you how you can do email marketing for your website
0:07
All right. So email marketing is a process of having some kind of system on your website
0:13
So you're able to collect email addresses, store them, so you can send emails to
0:18
you can send emails to those contacts, and, you know, resell more products
0:24
remind them more about your offers and all of that. So, yeah, so that's that
0:30
the first thing I want to do is to introduce you to the Omniscent website
0:36
And this is it. And it says all in one ecommerce marketing, one easy to use platform that helps you drive sales
0:43
in powerful, powerful ecommerce, telemark email and SMS marketing. So basically with Omniscent, you'll be able to, you'll be able to send emails to your customers

1:01
You can be able to send to message SMS marketing and email marketing
1:06
So SMS marketing, right? Send them new SMSes about your product as well as email
1:11
So it's a very powerful e-commerce marketing platform and there's a lot of purpose
1:18
build for nimble e-commerce businesses. So there's a lot, create on brand shopable emails in no time
1:26
And there's just so many things you can do, you can drive sales while you're sleeping
1:31
and do all of this stuff with Omniscent e-commerce marketing, email marketing and SMS marketing, right
1:39
So to do this, the first thing we need to do is to have this email marketing automation
1:44
on our side. We first need to sign up for an Omniscent plan
1:52
So let's just look through their pricing, and you see that they have a free
1:56
pricing layer. So we're just going to be using the free one. So I'll show you how all of these things work
2:06
So on the free pricing plan, we can, it allows us to send 500 emails a month to reach up to 250 contact
2:17
And so we are going to be making use of that. So just, um, sign up
2:26
So I'll leave a link to Omnisan so you can sign up for an Omniscient account
2:31
So over here we'll sign up with our email address and then we'll just enter
2:35
email address and our password. So once we enter our email address and our
2:42
password, we'll be asked, do you have an e-commerce business? So we just either
2:47
click here so no. And then I'm not a robot. And I agree to via
2:56
you agree to their Thames and policies and then you click on sign up
3:06
So once you do that, an email would be sent to you
3:13
so that you'd be able to activate your Omniscient account and I'll quickly do that
3:19
And then you'd be on this page. So on this page, you'd be asked to fill in your name
3:26
your last name, the name of your business, your website. And if you're currently using any automation software
3:34
of course, a lot of automation emailing software. So it will give you a list
3:40
So if you're not using any of this automation software, you could just come here and click on none
3:46
Then which platform are you using for your online store? So depending on your platform
3:51
if you're using Shopify or Work Commerce, you could just come here and select which platform you are using for your e-commerce store
4:00
So on the next page it going to ask you to select your country your city your address your zip called your time zone So once you selected all of that you just click on next
4:17
So over here, we can see that our Omniscent account has been successfully created
4:24
And it says, welcome to Amnizan Powerful All in One Marketing Solution
4:29
and we can connect our store to our Omniscent account. Go to a Shopify dashboard and then you click on apps
4:37
Then when you click on apps, just search for Omnisen. All right
4:49
So I already showed you how you can register an account with Omnisen
4:55
So over here, just click on Omnisand. and when you click on Omnis Send
5:00
and click on Add Apps. So over here, you just click on Install app
5:07
Since we already registered an Omniscent account, we just immediately got redirected to our Omniscent dashboard
5:14
All right. So here, over here, there's a lot of things we can do with Omniscient
5:17
and let me just quickly go over them. On your dashboard, there is goals
5:23
And here you can set up the branding, how you want your emails to be sent out
5:30
the color scheme you want your emails to have. Then over here on that overview
5:35
you can see how your own-send email campaigns and SMS campaigns performing and how much it's earning you
5:42
how much orders is earning you. And over here at LiveView, you're able to see what's happening with your Omniscient contact in real time
5:54
So basically, what this is, going to be doing for you is on a send you just need to have a way to first of all collect
6:00
contacts there's email address and SMS and then um you'll be able to set up this automation for example
6:07
if someone goes to your store at a product your cart but didn't end up purchasing it you can set up
6:13
automation so that um send them emails so if they end up purchasing it through those email and
6:19
SMS marketing effort you would see um the profitability of that um SMS automation
6:26
or email automation right here. So let me just go over to campaign and show you a bit how this works
6:32
So over here on campaigns, you're able to create campaign, email campaigns
6:37
and then when you create the email campaigns, you can send it like book email to your customers
6:43
and to people who have visited your store, your contacts, right? And your email, you could do a lot
6:50
you could put your logo on the email, the kind of colors you were on the phone, social links
6:54
So emails can be beautifully, designed. All right. So down here, you're not just only able to send out bulk emails. You're also able to send that box SMS. So over here, you're able to send out SMS to your contacts, bulk SMS to your contacts. All right. So on the automation, if you click on automation, would see that we'll be able to send emails, not just emails, both emails that is automated, that has a
7:26
specific workflow. And, okay, for example, for the abandoned cart email, like you can see in the example here
7:34
you can send that email such that when someone purchase and they abandon the cat
7:38
like one hour later they get an email reminding them to complete their purchase
7:44
And a day later they get that SMS, reminding them to complete their purchase and maybe
7:48
with a discount coupon. And then maybe on the third day, they get to purchase
7:53
All right. So you can do this with email. You can also do this with SMS
7:58
So let me just click on explore workflows so you see what it's like
8:03
So for example under here we can see there is the welcome workflow where you just greet customers new subscribers send them an email welcoming them to your store and all of that There the abandoned card that is the other confirmation workflow
8:20
There's a lot of the welcome workflow. There's even the birthday workflow
8:25
And I think it will be somewhere here where you get to send your customers happy birthday message on their birthday
8:33
just automatically the messages go and tells them happy birthday. You might have seen those sort of
8:39
messages with companies, we're able to create something like that. All right
8:46
So there's a sign up workflow. There's a lot of automation that you can do with
8:51
or not necessarily that your customers would keep getting these emails automatically
8:57
So it just means that you create the email only once and then automatically
9:01
get sent out, all right? Just as you've planned it. All right
9:08
So over here at 4. you're able to receive contacts. Of course, if you're going to be able to send box SMS and SMS automation and
9:16
bulk emails and email automation, you need to even have emails of your customers
9:21
You need to have their contacts. And that's why over here on forms, you're able to get contact and you're able to create a form
9:29
which you can use to get the contact and the contact of your business stores
9:34
Let me just show you how this works. So if you click on view all form types would be earned this page
9:39
And on this page, you'll see the different kind of form. We could put this form on our site that says get 10% off
9:47
So that way your customers might put their email address. And then you said automatically store their email address
9:54
And you can use that contact anytime you want to send box SMS
9:59
bulk emails and other email and SMS marketing automation you want to do
10:04
So there are different ways you can get their contact. You can also have this form on your side that says don't miss out
10:09
and all of these. All these are like templates you can make use of on your site
10:15
Now, if you notice something, it says pop up, pop up, pop up, it means these are for pop-up forms, right
10:22
So you could see get free shipping. And for them to get free shipping, they would have to have their email address and contact and phone number
10:29
And this is how you get their phone numbers and contact in the first place
10:33
So on that form type, you can create pop-up forms, which are forms that just pops up
10:39
on the site. I'm going to show you how this works, right? You can create embedded form
10:45
which is a form that you define the exact page. It would appear on the site. I could even create
10:50
a landing page, which is a whole page that is dedicated to, you know, collecting your
10:57
your business contacts. All right. So having said that, let's quickly just go back
11:05
And let's go to forms. Okay, let's go to all. Okay, let's go to all
11:09
audience and let me show you. So every audience you get would get saved. So every contact you receive
11:16
on your email will be saved here. And on contact, you can view your customer's contact. You can
11:23
view your customers emails. So the number of contact, the number of signups you have on your
11:28
website, you'll be able to see on that audience. And under reports, you'll be able to see the number
11:32
of campaigns you have ongoing and the workflows you have and the forms you have and how
11:37
they are performing. All right, let's just create a form quickly so that you see how this works
11:42
So if we go over to form and then we just scroll down and we go to view form types
11:50
Let's just pick one form type and test this out. So let's make use of this template
11:56
And when we click on this template, we'll see that we are able to edit the form
12:02
able to edit the form, right? And we can include emails. We can drag
12:07
and drop emails into the form. If you want to collect phone numbers
12:11
we can as well drag and drop phone numbers. We can delete that
12:15
We don't want that. We can change different things like the button texts and everything if we want to change it you can set the type of audience pull tags to be able to better or just can better tell what audience
12:31
to send those of the email automation soon. So on that display here, we can set it so that it displays
12:40
when it displays. So you might want it to display as soon as someone visits your page
12:46
they get your seat or when they spend some time after spending maybe like one minute on your page before they see the pop-up or scroll depth
12:55
You could choose, you could set in such a way that when your viewer scroll down, like if you actually make, looking at your page and you scroll down, that's when they see the pop-up or when they are done with your page and when they're about to exit, they see the pop-up
13:09
So you can set the display options and even the visibility. You can decide to show this
13:16
pop-up on desktop or mobile or on both of them. You can also decide the frequency
13:23
You might not want if you just keep seeing the pop-up all the time. So you can see, oh, they get to see it once
13:28
Then the next time they'll ever see the pop-up could be like a week later. And then over here, under-targeting, you can decide if you want the pop-ups will
13:37
appear on a specific page on your website or on all pages
13:42
So there's a lot that you can do. you can collect more information
13:47
using this element like image and all of that. You can design this form
13:54
just the way you would want it and change the color scheme for the color you want to put
13:59
if you want a different color and all of that. So once you're comfortable with how the form looks
14:05
you just click enable. So once this form is enabled, it means that it's visible on your side
14:11
So let's just go to the front end of the website. and see what this form looks like
14:16
So if I go to the front end and I just refresh the website's page
14:20
you'd notice that after some time, the form just pops up. All right, you can see the form now
14:28
It just pops up once the website is visited. Okay, so that said
14:35
other than the form, which you can use to collect emails and as well as phone numbers
14:42
that you save to your Misen dashboard, for automation and all of that
14:46
You also get a phone number. So basically, Omisen gives you a phone number
14:52
And with that phone number, you can share the phone number with your customers in the
14:56
US and in Canada. And what happens is the customers can text the phone number and join your SMS
15:05
email marketing list. Let me just show you how this work. So if you just click on, get my number
15:12
but let us load for a beef and receive the phone number. All right
15:16
So Omnisseye provides you with this phone number. And what happens is when you share this phone number with your audience and they click on join
15:23
for example, you could tell your audience that they have this phone number
15:27
If they click on join, they would always get SMS notification of discounts
15:34
So if they want to always know when you have a new promo, don't be the first to know when you have a new promo or discount on your store
15:41
they should just subscribe to your SMS, right? So if the click on joint, what it means is that you'll be able to send that automatic SMS to them
15:53
by just, you know, creating an automation SMS campaign. So over here on the automation is where you can either create an email SMS, an email automation campaign
16:04
or you see an SMS work to do as well. So I think that is just about it for email marketing
16:11
This is an overview, but I do hope that this tutorial, you find it helpful, and then you're able to create your email marketing and SMS marketing on your Shopify website
16:26
All right. Take care for now and bye-bye
