We couldn’t be more excited to be on product hunt today. We’ve been working on EcoSend for a while and learning ever more about the carbon footprint of our digital activities. With EcoSend our goal is to build a *no compromise* email marketing platform, and with 1.0 you’ll find a fully fledged product with everything you need to send simple emails through to sophisticated automated campaigns. We’d love to see what you think, so please let us know in the comments here! P.S. And for every upvote today we will be planting a tree to say thanks and celebrate the launch.

@nenskei Thanks so much Shira! Your support is hugely appreciated, and we are really excited to be embarking on this mission — our hope is that more software businesses will follow in our steps and do more to raise awareness and improve their operations. We can all do our bit!

Love this, and definitely something we don't see enough in the tech / startup space. I think the challenge is educating people just how big their environmental impact can be. The calculator is a great start, and might be worth adding to your homepage to help educate even more visitors.

@helloitsolly Olly if you didn't give us a suggestion for making the site better then I would think something has gone horribly wrong 😂 Thank you so much for this comment and suggestion — you are absolutely right. Lots more iteration to come, and our goal is to raise much more awareness on this topic. As people become aware they quite quickly want to move to taking some action!

I absolutely love the initiative. Until now I had no idea how big of an impact email marketing could have on the environment. The calculator does a fantastic job at translating numbers into real world usage. Really makes it easy to understand how big of a problem this is. Fantastic heart @jamesjgill. Happy to plant a tree with my upvote 💜

@wilsonsquared Wilson, thank you so so much for this wonderful comment. It's really wonderful to have your support, and thank you for sharing how you feel about the whole topic. We're just getting started, and every single person talking more about this helps raise the awareness and ultimately make things a little better!

@jamesjgill - Congratulations on the launch of EcoSend! It's refreshing to see an email marketing platform focused on reducing the carbon footprint. I'm curious about how the automatic carbon offsetting works. Can you provide more details on how you calculate and offset the carbon emissions generated by email marketing campaigns?

@salil_sethi Hi Salil, thanks so much for this very thoughtful comment! We utilise various techniques for estimating the carbon footprint of an email, and ultimately an entire email campaign. We actually have a carbon calculator for email that helps give an estimate of the carbon footprint of your campaigns: https://ecosend.io/carbon-calcul... Based on this, our first focus is to help reduce the carbon footprint — with the work we're doing on segmentation (to send to a smaller, but more relevant audience, and avoid sending to people who don't need to receive the message), and offering highly optimised templates to reduce the size of each email being sent (which cuts down on bandwidth and storage). We will be investing a portion of our profits into carbon removal, and finally, we do carbon offsetting to offset what is largely out of our control (e.g. the energy used when people receive the email) — we offset more than we need to make up for any uncertainty comfortably, and we work with a few partners, including Tree Nation to help with this piece. Hope that helps explain things! If you have suggestions or thoughts for how we can do more or better here, than I am very keen to hear them!

environmentally friendly email platform and was thoroughly impressed with its features and mission. The platform not only provided a user-friendly interface and robust email capabilities, but also had a clear commitment to reducing its environmental impact.

I'm so excited for you and the team James. As you know I'm a big fan of EcoSend, this is what I like about it: > The primary focus is carbon reduction. > I like the customer needs and the effectiveness of the campaigns is also forefront. > Reinvesting profits in other high-impact causes will not only make a difference and makes me feel like I'm in safe hands. > The user interface looks clean and easy to use. The graphics, especially the co2 reduction gives me a warm feeling. > The carbon-reducing tips and reminders are ace. > The segmenting filter is comprehensive and very easy to use.
