The end of the year is a perfect time to go back in time and recap all the good things that happened and that we are grateful for. Year 2012 was great for the GetResponse team, but all of it couldn’t have happened without you: GetResponse customers, users and fans. That’s why we wanted say THANK YOU and show you how we changed and developed, thanks to you and for you.

The year of changes

For GetResponse, 2012 was a year of a revolution. It started in March when we brought you new Email Creator — the revolutionary editing tool that took HTML chores out of newsletter design and made it a simple yet creative process. And you embraced it immediately, proving that this is what marketers have been waiting for.

The motives that drove us to create this new tool were also a trigger for us at GetResponse to remember who we are, what we do and why we do it.

So later in the year, in September, we redefined our mission statement and core values that drive us. We brought to life the new GetResponse smile that stands for simplicity, success, and satisfaction of our customers, and so many other things.

Our 2012 quest to make GetResponse a complete marketing tool culminated in December, when we launched the Landing Page Creator — a super tool for building landing pages and squeeze pages quickly and effortlessly. Now marketers can create and manage complete marketing campaigns from their GetResponse account.

And that’s just the beginning of the list of our accomplishments. All our teams — education, marketing, product and IT development — worked hard all year to deliver the ultimate marketing solution at an affordable price to customers all over the world.

Here’s the year in a review:
