In a nutshell, what is Dartagnan? It's the essential tool to assist you in designing innovative campaigns and streamlining the production of your emails!
1. Integrate email at the core of your marketing strategies because its ROI is absolutely incredible
All studies prove it; email is the marketing channel with the best ROI. Why? Because it’s cost-effective to produce and yields high returns! In short, it embodies the very essence of ROI.
Unlike paid search advertising, which operates on a cost-per-click basis and can quickly escalate depending on the competition in your market, the cost of an email campaign will always remain fixed, regardless of the number of people targeted.
However, please note that this maxim holds true only if you are capable of internalizing your production and designing your campaigns independently. Indeed, outsourcing the design of your emails to a third-party agency can cost you a significant amount of time and money, exposing you to lengthy and cumbersome validation processes in contrast.
Okay, but how can you create a high-quality email campaign without technical expertise? By using an email builder like Dartagnan, specifically designed to enable you to design cutting-edge campaigns with just a few clicks and without any prior skills in the field.
2. Prioritize email because it is consumers’ preferred marketing channel
Surprisingly, email remains consumers’ preferred marketing channel across all generations. The results of a survey conducted by Sendinblue reveal that the French find email to be ‘convenient,’ ‘useful,’ and ‘easy’ for staying informed about the news, offers, and promotions from their favorite brands and retailers.
Furthermore, this trend is confirmed in other countries such as England, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
While social media platforms come and go with varying degrees of success among target audiences, email marketing, on the other hand, endures in people’s habits and reaches anyone equipped, at the very least, with a mobile phone and an email inbox. In other words, the vast majority of consumers.

3. Take advantage of a digital marketing channel that you have complete control over
The advantage of email marketing is that you own and control your database. What does that mean in practical terms?
In 2022, the average email marketing open rate was 21.5%, a figure that has been steadily evolving thanks to:
- An increasingly significant mastery of your database
- Better-targeted segmentation
- Strict and rigorous consent collection.
Let’s do the math: if your database consists of 10,000 subscribers, you can be reasonably certain of reaching, at the very least, 2,150 people.
A number that no search engine or social network can compete with. Furthermore, these performance metrics are guaranteed in email marketing, whereas your visibility and performance are entirely dependent on search engine algorithms or social networks, as well as their often unpredictable and costly visibility-related updates.
4. Get to Know Your Audience Better Through Your Email Marketing Strategy
Your email marketing strategy is your best gateway to understanding and analyzing your customers’ behavior.
- AB testing of your campaigns
- Tracking your CTA’s
- Analysis of your open and click-through rates
- Customer surveys integrated into your newsletters
Your email campaigns serve as a real testing ground to understand which message and/or product performs best with your audience. Therefore, they are a fantastic tool for optimizing your marketing strategy and accelerating your performance!
5. Speak to an Engaged Audience in a Personalized Manner
If you manage your database correctly, you always target people who know you, are interested, and have consented to receive your offers. It’s a luxury that no other marketing channel can provide you.
But that’s not all. Email is also the only marketing channel that allows you to send personalized messages and offers to consumers en masse.
By facilitating the integration of personalization variables and connecting with your email service provider, Dartagnan allows you to make each of your emails unique.
