Flodesk Review: Why it is the Best Tool for my Creative Business

March 4, 2025 By A Spoonful of Sugar - Leave a Comment

I first started A Spoonful of Sugar Blog back in 2008. Since then it has grown into a thriving business, A Spoonful of Sugar Designs with a Pattern Store and an Etsy Store (in the top 2% of Etsy businesses). I never set out to be a small business owner and I have learnt a few things along the way. The most important tool you can have as a small business owner is an email list so you can reach your customers without relying on other platforms and ever changing algorithms. I have used a few different email marketing providers over the years and Flodesk is hands down the best. I have now been with Flodesk since 2021. Here is my honest review of Flodesk. Whether you have a creative business or another type of ecommerce store, you want Flodesk on your side.
