Data

Before leaving your old ESP, make sure you collect and export all your data. Whether this is one big list or multiple lists, your data can be uploaded to Maxemail at the click of a button.
Please note, to reduce the risk of emails getting blocked and IP’s being blacklisted by an ISP, Maxemail will only take on clients who have obtained fully opted-in data.
