Okoa v Mailchimp Patreon Integration

Updated November 6, 2024

Using emails to reach out to declined or canceled patrons should be something you do no matter what because it's the most effective way to directly re-engage with your former patrons.

But why should you use Okoa instead of another email service provider like Mailchimp?

A couple reasons:

Okoa is built just for Patreon creators

No need to customize or endlessly figure out how to sort your audience. Okoa immediately identifies the patrons who should receive reactivation emails. Just toggle on.

Okoa provides conversion metrics so you know what is working

See exactly how many patrons converted and how much income they brought in. Okoa provides detailed conversion data so you know exactly which emails are working.

Okoa provides tested Patreon specific templates

Don’t know how to message your users? Okoa provides tested, built in templates so you have a framework for what to send to declined users, canceled users, or free members. Or if you don’t feel like doing any work, feel free to use the built in templates as is.

Okoa can send digests of your Patreon preview posts

Okoa is natively integrated with the Patreon API so it can pull preview snippets from your Patreon posts and send tantalizing preview emails to tempt canceled/declined patrons back.

Okoa ensures users don’t receive too many emails

Okoa keeps track of total emails sent to a user even if the user’s status changes from declined to canceled. So no matter how a user’s status changes, they won’t receive multiple emails within a short period of time.

Whether you use Okoa or not, sending emails can be the key to retaining more of your patrons. So utilize that very, very, valuable email address to build a more sustainable Patreon income.
