We are preparing to release Oempro v4.1 Release Candidate (that's right, release candidate
) next week and wanted to share some sneak peek videos of v4.1 new features.
Oempro v4.1 will include several cool features including A/B split testing, advanced list segmentation, more powerful custom fields, better user management, improved campaign management and much more. We will do our best to publish sneak peek videos for each cool new feature in following days if we find enough time to focus on screen casting.
Let's begin with the improved list segmentation feature. Oempro development team spent several days on this feature (congratulations!) to make it user-friendly and powerful. We believe that the result is fantastic. We changed the list segmentation screen completely, now there's rule board inside each list segment to help you design your segment easily just like creating an organization chart.
You can set unlimited rules inside each list segment, group them, and also set rules based on recipient activity such as link clicking or email opening.
We have recorded a short (~2min) sneak peek video to show you how the new user interface of list segmentation screen looks like. Take a look:
We hope you like it and thanks for valuable feedback so far. The next sneak peek video will be covering Oempro v4.1's new A/B split test campaigns. Stay tuned.

Some Screen Shots
"After using OS software such as PHPList for our customers, Oempro is a revelation when it comes to usability and flexibility. There is no sense in developing your own e-marketing software (what we considered for a while), since Oempro does everything you need, and comes with a very reasonable price." — Rudy Dierckx
"We work with you for several years and this is a great product and this version 4 is a must. Thanks." — Antonio Sequeira
