Challenges
Despite having a large following on social media, Les Frenchies faced difficulties in reaching all their fans due to the platforms’ limitations. They realized that social media algorithms made it hard for their content to reach everyone interested.
They also understood the importance of building and nurturing an email list. This would allow them to engage with their audience beyond social media platforms and ensure a more reliable connection with their fans.
Colleen and Antoine knew what they needed. They were just missing the right platform.
It’s very complicated to do everything at once, especially in that type of business where when you start, you’re really small. You don’t have a lot of time and you do not have all the skills.

And the journey doesn’t end here. Exploring more features of GetResponse to further engage with their subscribers might just be their next step.
I would recommend [GetResponse] because I feel like it’s a good tool. What I like is that you can do many different things within the same tool, so you don’t have to have multiple subscriptions. […] Email marketing, autoresponders, landing pages, forms and pop ups, webinars, click conversion funnels, chats and push notifications… Wow, that’s all the things we can do. I’m sure if we use 10% of that, we would probably double our revenue per month.
