DUET diabetes, co-founded in 2015 by Lynne Reedman, is dedicated to improving diabetes care across the UK through specialised training for carers, nurses, healthcare workers and professionals in the beauty and wellness industry. To engage effectively with their audience and keep them informed, DUET diabetes turned to Smart Messenger for their email marketing needs.

The Brief

As a small organisation with limited time and resources for admin, DUET diabetes needed an effective way to communicate with their growing audience and share updates about training, workshops and developments in diabetes care. Email marketing offered the ideal channel for staying connected with past attendees, customers and industry contacts.

After attending a MENTA course led by Smart Messenger’s MD, Holly Stibbon, Lynne recognised the potential value of email marketing for her business. Although she was aware of other platforms like Mailchimp, Lynne was drawn to Smart Messenger because of the direct assistance available from real people, which she felt was crucial for her as a small business owner. The user-friendly platform and tailored support, including one-on-one setup assistance, made it easy for Lynne to get started with email marketing.

"Smart Messenger has been essential in supporting our objective to expand the reach and impact of DUET diabetes in improving diabetes care in the UK."
