What do you like best about Flodesk?

I love the visuals. It looks great, both from the user perspective and when people receive your emails. After trying a few different platforms I found Flodesk was the easiest to use and is great for setting up workflows and segmenting your audience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flodesk?

There isn't really any downsides for me with Flodesk at the moment. The analytics was quite simple to begin with but after a recent update the analytics are more comprehensive and I can track everything I need to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It helps solve the problem of reaching out to my audience in more personalized ways than general social media, helping me create more of a community and staying in touch with them regularly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flodesk?

Best for visual presentation and intuitive interface. I have been using Flodesk since its launch and have found it to be the best option for creatives who want to offer beautiful, personal and impactful emails. I have recommended Flodesk to all my clients and find it much more straightforward to navigate. I have worked on other email marketing platforms, and Flodesk is the best in my experience. Everyone agrees that the presentation is fantastic and highly impressive! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flodesk?

There is no asset library or ability to edit visuals, which I hope will be added in the future, as this will make an enormous difference in the user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Finally, someone understood the need to offer an email template builder for upscale and entrepreneurial brands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flodesk?

I absolutely LOVE Flodesk. I love how easy it is to use and to customize my emails. I love that everything looks really clean and polished without a ton of continuous effort on my part. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flodesk?

I think they could improve on their analytics. They just released an update, but I wish it was easier to click through on certain issues. I would love to see quickly, at a glance which customers have unsubscribed, when, after what email, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have been using Flodesk for a couple of years now. I started off doing essential emails; a short three email welcome sequence, and then infrequent emails around once a month to my base. I have recently changed my strategy: I now have a longer sequence and am sending out communications more frequently. I have seen a huge difference in my open rates, as well as engagement. And while yes, most of that is due to the work I have put in myself, I wouldn't be able to do any of this without the use of Flodesk as a tool.

I was a previous Mail Chimp user and hated it. It was clunky, hard to use, and I as a graphic designer by trade, I thought my emails always looked terrible and weren't a reflection of myself or my brand. With Flodesk, that has completely changed. Not only is the interface easy to use and really intuitive, the emails I am able to quickly and easily create are clean and well-designed, again, with little effort on my part.

I read through some of the reviews before writing this, and I am baffled by people reporting that Flodesk is hard to use or that they're really unhappy with the platform. I truly don't understand it and have been a really happy customer since day 1. I will never leave! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flodesk?

The Customer Service & Support team are super communicative and supportive in their answers whenever I need to troubleshoot something-that is very important to me! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flodesk?

Right now I wish that they had more versatile options with Segmenting and Tagging, but I understand and realize that they are a growing company (they are fairly new-I mean like 5 years old right?) so they are still growing in so many ways! They HAVE offered and grown so many amazing features that I have grown to admire and appreciate in my own email marketing strategies! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Well, I am a small business owner and Flodesk helps me stay connected with my community. I can stay connected with the three different members of my group (I serve as a family photographer, branding photographer, and a systems/workflow educator for creatives) so I am able to communicate effectively with all three groups! Also, Flodesk has helped me out with my launches for the education side of my business! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flodesk?

Flodesk has been the email software of my dreams - gorgeous design, simple interface, and easy to navigate. Since their initial beta, I've been a member and have never even considered moving to another service once signing up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flodesk?

Previously I would have said I was frustrated at the lack of analytics Flodesk offers, but as that was just roled out, it's not lacking anything I desperately need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Flodesk allows me to send consistent newsletters to my list (a core part of my email marketing strategy). I can create designs consistent with my brand, filled with the content my readers expect, making the entire brand experience seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flodesk?

I love how easy and intuitive Flodesk is to use and how many beautiful and customizable templates there are to choose from.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have many negatives regarding using Flodesk. I haven't any other email platforms but I have no reason to shop around or switch. I would recommend Flodesk to anyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Flodesk makes it easy to create attractive emails quickly and efficiently. I appreciate how intuitive the email-building is, and how easy it is to customize the forms to get just the right look.

What do you like best about Flodesk?

Flodesk is easy to use and looks beautiful. It has made me really love creating emails and checkouts both. I see some complaints on here but don't really understand them. I think sometimes people don't know what they're doing then get frustrated and blame other people when there is usually a simple solution. I have had no issues. My payouts through stripe for the checkouts have been timely and prompt. My email opens keep climbing higher and higher all the time and I get compliments on the emails. We use the checkout to sell courses. I even created courses by using the checkout. I think it's awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flodesk?

I like everything about flodesk. There is nothing not to like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I like the new analytics. It lets me see how are performing and I can make improvements for better performance in the future. We have sold many many online courses using their checkout It allowed us to build a beautiful campaign to explain to customers thoroughly what we were selling. We've sold a lot through it. It's doubled our income by using it this year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flodesk?

Simple, intuitive, affordable, very beautiful software.

I love using Flodesk for my email newsletters! The templates are beautiful, they just released extremely robust analytics (that blew my Mailchimp account away), and it's very easy to use, even for baby beginners like me. When they added custom fields to their forms feature, I was able to start personalizing my emails which has increased my engagement rate quite a bit. I don't miss most of the features I used to have with Mailchimp because the pricing is comparatively low.

I also use Checkout for selling a few of my design templates. I've made thousands in sales in just a few weeks, so that makes me a happy camper! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flodesk?

I would love to be able to connect more services to Flodesk without needing something like Zapier. They currently have limited integrations so I use Zapier for triggering emails from my online shop. It would be nice if there were more integrations included with my Flodesk subscription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

My Mailchimp email marketing used to be the biggest pain point in my business. My emails were ugly and they took me hours to put together. I dreaded sending email campaigns. Now, with Flodesk, it takes me only minutes to send out emails I'm proud of. I've even gotten quite a few replies from my subscribers over the years saying how much they love the look of my emails! I never thought I'd say it's fun to create emails, forms, and online sales funnels, but it is now thanks to Flodesk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flodesk?

Flodesk is simple and beautiful. The designs are great, and the opportunities to send emails that pop are amazing. I was very pleased to see the new analytics released that provide Flodesk clients with more information to increase engagement with their lists. Fantastic work! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flodesk?

I wish that there was more data on the CheckOut feature. Unless I'm missing something, analytics there don't allow you to see who on your list is checking out your CheckOut email, so you aren't sure who to follow up with. Instead, it just lets you know how many people have come to the page Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Creating beautiful emails with diverse designs and unique styles. Plus, the option of branding emails is also awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
