What do you like best about Marq?

I was introduced to Lucidpress through my co-workers daughter who was only 15 years old at the time and in high school. She saw me struggling with other similar software programs and sat me down for 15 minutes to show me Lucidpress. I was hooked! Lucidpress has helped me in so many different ways with both my business and personal life. I assist with marketing for a Real Estate business, a Catering business, and a Production company. Lucidpress is extremely user friendly. I have never been formally trained in marketing and have taught myself how to make eye-catching posters, flyers, door hangers, announcements, bulletins, you name it. I have even used it to make Birthday invitations and Christmas cards! The templates are usually the perfect start to any of our projects, but when I am feeling creative I can start with a clean slate in a blank document. I would recommend Lucidpress to anyone whether just for fun at home, for school, or for business! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Marq?

The only thing I would like to see improved is that you can't delete any images from the library that you have in a project. It would be nice to be able to remove images to free up space once that image is placed in the document. Other than that, I love it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Marq solving and how is that benefiting you?

In Real Estate, Buyers and Sellers have been more inclined to hire us with attractive marketing products that we create with Lucidpress. In Catering, our customers are able to easily read menu items that we prepare creating posters with Lucidpress, which drives sales. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Marq?

Lucidpress is easy to use and explains very simple

The templates are used are nice and helpful

sharing with other people is simple and adequate Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Marq?

performance is sometimes very bad, especially when you use it with more people at the same time.

Detailed work is not always easy (e.g. fix pictures, boxes, etc.)

If i would have more features would be a lot better and helpful

if more people use it at the same time we have performance problems

Sometimes we had problems by using it in Safari

If there is the possibility of an offline use would be helpful too.

The export function doesn't really work proper. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Marq?

Lucidpress is such a valuable tool for my business! I have used Canva, Microsoft Publisher... and attempted to use Adobe InDesign, but Lucidpress is far superior in so many ways! Lucidpress is user friendly, logical and offers so many features for the money (free for many features and very affordable for additional features)! Lucidpress is the best desktop publisher I have used in the 25+ years in the business. I use Lucidpress on a daily basis and cannot imagine running my business without it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Marq?

I love everything about Lucidpress. It is lacking some more advanced features that are available in InDesign; however, it is also compatible with InDesign, so InDesign users can also benefit from using Lucidperss. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Marq solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can easily create dynamic marketing brochures, social media images and so much more in minutes to hours as opposed to days!! Lucidpress has saved me countless hours of editing with its included templates and ability to design my own templates. I have more time to market my business and service more customers thanks to Lucidpress! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Marq?

I love the flexibility and ease of using the LucidPress software - my 7th and 8th graders use it for their school newspaper. Students have enjoyed collaborating on the newspaper pages. Each page has a team of student writers and photographers. We have had great feedback about our layouts and design with the new templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Marq?

LucidPress is a lot to learn since the program offers so much detail, but it's pretty easy to navigate, even on a small screen. LucidPress allows us to manipulate nearly every aspect of the template to our liking, versus some pretty static forms we had used before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Marq:

Make sure to allow some time for a learning curve as you move to this amazing software! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Marq solving and how is that benefiting you?

We rely on our publisher to ensure all students can access LucidPress, but after the initial set-up, it's been easy to collaborate on the pages of the school newspaper. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Marq?

I like the ease that the platform allows us to create new documents with, even though I have access to a lot of different graphic software when working with text-heavy documents and graphics, LucidPress has really made things much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the upload of images is a bit slow, but I can't really think of anything else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Marq:

It's very easy to use and saves a lot of time! I highlyrecommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Marq solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am able to create and share documents that our staff around the world can see in a lot less time than when using other programs. We also have used it for white papers and uploading them on Lucidpress has made their distribution a lot easier. I recently integrated our account to Google Analytics so we expect to now have the added benefit of tracking the documents we publish. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Marq?

It's user-friendly and easy to use for work projects. I like that I can share it with other people and see them go in and make changes live. It allows me, as well as the team, to be creative and save templates so no one has to start from scratch or reinvent the wheel. We can all collaborate on a project at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Marq?

Sometimes it's hard to select certain objects in the project and it takes a lot of clicks to find the right place to grab the object and move it. We've also had a few problems with font and making sure we have the exact font for branding purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Marq:

I have only been using Lucidpress for a very short time, but it's an easy-to-use tool that's user friendly and great for collaborating with your team and making sure they can all go in and work on it, even at the same time. You can save templates for the future and build on them and have the ability to create different printed materials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Marq solving and how is that benefiting you?

With LucidPress, we can all collaborate on one project. We can make one-sheets, flyers, cards, posters, etc. and easily get it approved by other members on our team and have it printed. I have only been using Lucidpress for a few weeks now with my new job, but it's already proved to be very helpful. I'm a Marketing Coordinator for a new school, so we need to create a lot of marketing materials for it, especially to advertise it on multiple platforms. We're creating one-sheets for each new program, as well as flyers for different virtual events we're having, and mini-posters to advertise the new programs to prospective students, both national and international.

What do you like best about Marq?

Beautiful, high level designs are available. They are simple to understand and fill out. As well, I love the functionality to add my own template a production team can customize. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Marq?

We found that adding other people to the team was a bit tricky. I could get others added as admins, but we struggled to figure out how to combine our libraries. It took a bit of searching, but ultimately the help docs got us there. Overall, it wasn't as straight forward as we would have anticipated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Marq:

Give it a thorough try! It's a wonderful, professional resource. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Marq solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am currently a lone ranger on a creative team at a company with ever growing creative needs. Lucidpress has helped me to fill the gap by engaging members of other teams to create sophisticated designs that meet company standards, without needing to hire another designer right away. It's helping my department succeed, and overall provide a high quality print materials to our clients.

Now that our team has combined our powers (Captain Planet reference - if you know you know), I love how we all have access to the same templates and library resources. We can see each others work, making management of client tasks quick and seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
