Preguntas frecuentes
How should I segment my accounting software email list?
Segment by user type: CPAs, bookkeepers, controllers, business owners, tax professionals. Create segments by firm size: solo practitioners, small firms (2-5), mid-size firms (5-50), large firms (50+). Add segments by specialization: individual tax, business tax, audit and assurance, CFO services. Segment by use case maturity: newly signed up, active users, dormant accounts. Include segments by geography for tax law relevant communications. Each segment needs different content because a solo bookkeeper needs different support than a 50-person accounting firm.
What emails should I send during tax season?
January: tax season readiness email with key dates and deadlines. February: client list organization and bulk operations tips. March: extension planning and estimated tax guidance. April: final deadline reminders and filing checklists. May: post-season analysis and best practices for next year.
