Vision 6 is Australia’s leading provider of email & SMS database marketing solutions.
Vision 6 is an Australian owned and run company. The company was founded in 2001by friends and colleagues Evan Fortune and Mathew Myers. Together they identified that while many businesses often needed to send emails to various types of clients; there simply wasn’t a way to easily create, send and track these communications.
Recognising the need for a system which could be used by marketers to seamlessly integrate email marketing into their marketing mix, the duo formed Vision 6 and its email marketing system VeMail.
VeMail enables businesses of all sizes to create flexible newsletters or product templates, send to their desired audience and track click-through rates and other important marketing metrics.
The more advanced user can integrate their CRM system, run surveys, take event registrations and even build customer profiles that enable the targeting of time sensitive and behaviourally based messages.
As a part of empowering our clients to run exceptional campaigns in-house Vision 6 offers free online training and an interactive community-based knowledge centre; provides best practice whitepapers; produces the Australian Email Marketing Metrics Report and runs EMSA, Australia’s only dedicated email marketing summit.
