About Omnisend
The company started operations in 2014 and was co-founded by current CEO Rytis Lauris and Chief Product Officer Justas Kriukas.
Omnisend started out under the name Sondest. It later changed its name to Omnisend in 2017 when it refocused as an omnichannel marketing automation platform.
In 2018, SMS support was added for campaigns and automation, and in 2020 Omnisend opened its first US office.
Omnisend says its mission is, “to help e-commerce businesses make their marketing relevant by sending personalized messages to the right person, at the right time, using the right channel.”
For users, this means the ability to quickly, and easily send messages to customers. For customers, this means receiving targeted, personalized messages.
Omnisend is free to send 500 emails/mo. That’s a generous plan and gives you the chance to try the software before committing, or 500 emails might even be enough for small businesses.
