Product News and Feature Updates May 2020
Product News
While the economy has been quiet, our new development assembly line that we have worked on for the past two years has been in overdrive.
Currently, over 80 clients are taking advantage of our free trials of Marketing Manager (our email marketing automation platform), our email verification platform, and our prospecting database. We have validated 900,000 of our customer email addresses and found 141,000 bad emails to date. It’s a great way to figure out which contacts can be deleted from your database. Here is a quick video that sums up the features.

We have a record number of new features coming your way in the next couple of months. Here is a quick summary.

Near Future
- Ad Flow – Our revised Production Workflow System. Set up to ten stages in your Ad Work Flow. Drag and Drop your ads from stage to stage. Send batch emails to any stage within your workflow. Features table view, Kanban (Board View), and split screen for quick calling of clients for late ad material.
- Mirabel’s Project Pro – Our new project management module for managing everything from your editorial assignments, to your custom publishing projects, to your content management projects for your clients. Will include drag and drop project management software with a table view, Kanban (board view), and split screen view.
- New Search Operators – Our lightning search engine gets a new set of advanced search operators including “is Equal” or “is Not Equal”, “contains” or “does not contain”, “starts with” or “ends with”, “is empty or blank” or “is not empty or blank”.
- Prospecting Pro “IntelliSearch” – Based on feedback from our trials we are adding a new intelligent search that searches the web for potential data appends on prospects you have in your database. This unique service validates those emails in our prospecting database to make sure that when you do prospecting searches, the contacts in the search have valid email addresses. This will lead to great data accuracy in our prospecting database, and the ability to only download email addresses that you know have been validated.
The Crystal Ball
- Mirabel’s Subscription Pro – We are in the process of rewriting our Subscription and Membership module to tie it in with our marketing automation, order and receivables modules. It’s part of a larger rewrite of our entire order system. We are currently finishing off the user interface and like all of our new stuff, it’s slick and it’s fast!
- Mirabel Event Suite – We currently record events through our print order system. We are creating a separate order system for events that allows tracking of greater event details, the ability to separate out events on reports, and includes a ticketing system and online purchases.
