Therefore, sometimes the announcement you prepared with an effort gets lost somewhere or ends up in the spam folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sociality.io was also suffering from their emails getting lost. In fact, Ebru says that the actual problem was the low adoption rates on the updates that their want to share with customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the past, they were working with Intercom as our solution partner for notifying customers and announcing updates about our product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>They accomplished periodic and regular announcements with AnnounceKit<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\">They wanted to be open and transparent to their customers in any case of their operations.
