Hi Poet!


It's been a particularly exciting end to the year for us all at MailPoet!

In case you missed the announcement on Monday, we're delighted to share that MailPoet has been acquired by WooCommerce! This is a huge milestone in the MailPoet journey, and we're looking forward to the future of the plugin. We understand that you might have some questions about this, so we've prepared a Q&A document which will hopefully address your concerns ๐Ÿ™‚

We also completed our phase of work on the redesign of the plugin ๐ŸŽ‰ We're now sporting a fresh new look, which you can read more about in this post.

Finally, as this will be our last newsletter of the year, I just wanted to thank you for being a supporter of MailPoet. We're really excited to see what 2021 brings, and we hope you'll join us for it.

Have a great week,

Laura and the MailPoet team
