Takethatphoto
The leading UK event photography specialist, Takethatphoto, was looking for an integrated email solution to support their photoshoot booking system. They wanted to be able to send confirmation emails that reflected their professional brand, rather than the standard text-only messages that came as standard with their booking software. Takethatphoto explored integration options with platforms like Mailchimp, Active Campaign, and SendGrid. However, they found it difficult to integrate these platforms with the booking system and inadequate support from the respective firms made progress impossible. Looking for a Mailchimp alternative, they contacted Smart Messenger and found an expert partner able to address their needs.
"Smart Messenger provided a solution where others couldn’t. It wasn’t an easy fix and I’m grateful for the dedication they invested in achieving our desired outcome. Their support is superb and having them readily available by phone whenever we need assistance is really valuable to us.” - Paul Felton from Takethatphoto
