## Description

SocketLabs is a cloud-based email delivery platform built to help you send your 
marketing and transactional email from one platform. SocketLabs provides optimized
email delivery at scale, real-time tracking and analytics, reliable Email APIs for
developers, and a suite of Email Marketing Tools that will make sending your next
email campaign a breeze.

The SocketLabs WordPress Plugin allows you to easily route email generated by WordPress
through SocketLabs rather than the default wp_mail() function that WordPress provides.

Use the SocketLabs plugin if:

 1. Your mail from WordPress is failing to be delivered and you need an easy way to
    get your email to the inbox.
 2. You’re looking for better Inbox placement over an optimized email network.
 3. You would like to get more insight into the performance of your email from our 
    detailed reports in the SocketLabs Control Panel.
 4. Your WordPress instance has been blacklisted and you need to get your mail flowing
    again.
 5. Your WordPress site is exceeding the number of emails allowed by your ISP.

By using the SocketLabs plugin, you can finally take advantage of improved deliverability
from WordPress, while benefiting from our powerful delivery platform that’s built
to get your emails to the inbox. And in your SocketLabs Control Panel, you’ll be
able to take advantage of our expanded feature set, including in-depth tracking 
and analytics, a Drag and Drop Email Designer, list management, and so much more!

I recently moved all our websites over from SES and Mailgun to Socketlabs, really
happy with the service. The plugin works great, and I love the additional data we
get via Socketlabs about deliverability & the personal support from the team. Keep
up the great work guys!
