We're excited to announce Outreach - a powerful, self-hosted email marketing plugin that brings SaaS-level features directly to your WordPress dashboard. No monthly fees, no subscriber limits, complete data ownership.
As WordPress Download Manager users, you understand the value of owning your digital products and having full control over your business. But when it comes to email marketing, most solutions force you into expensive monthly subscriptions that scale with your subscriber count.
We asked ourselves: What if you could have the same powerful email marketing features of Mailchimp, ConvertKit, or ActiveCampaign - but as a self-hosted WordPress plugin?
That's exactly what Outreach delivers.
Key Benefits for WPDM Users:
Drag-and-drop editor with text, images, buttons, columns, social icons, and more. Preview on desktop and mobile before sending.
Build visual workflows with triggers, conditions, and actions. Send automated sequences based on subscriber behavior.
Organize subscribers with lists and tags. Filter, search, and segment your audience for targeted campaigns.
Track opens, clicks, and engagement. See which links perform best and monitor delivery rates in real-time.
If you're selling digital products with WordPress Download Manager, Outreach becomes your secret weapon for customer engagement:
Let your customers know when you've released a new version of their purchased product. Set up automations that trigger when you update a package, automatically sending personalized emails to customers who own that product.
When someone purchases your digital product, automatically enroll them in a welcome sequence. Introduce them to your brand, share tips on using their purchase, and nurture them toward their next purchase.
Add subscription forms to your download pages. Offer free resources in exchange for email addresses. Build a list of potential customers you can market to directly - without paying per subscriber.
Reach out to customers who haven't purchased in a while. Announce sales, new products, or exclusive content to bring them back.
Outreach supports multiple sending methods to ensure your emails get delivered:
| Method | Best For | Included |
|---|---|---|
| WordPress Mail | Small lists, getting started | ✓ |
| Custom SMTP | Using your email provider (Gmail, Outlook, etc.) | ✓ |
| Amazon SES | High-volume sending at $0.10 per 1,000 emails | ✓ |
With Amazon SES integration, you can send 100,000 emails for just $10 - a fraction of what services like Mailchimp charge.
