Gatsby Pros and Cons

As a service provider, we strive to find the best Shopify partners to include in our overall tech stack. Gatsby made it really easy for us to add influencer marketing to our offering, basically overnight. The setup is easy, we have it down to maybe 30 minutes per client, especially since it just integrates with the other tools we already manage for our clients, like Klaviyo, Refersion, and Shopify Plus. I also really like their automated email outreach feature - once we set a client up, everything goes on auto-pilot. Gatsby identifies the influential consumers, sends them our pre-written customized collab offer, and syncs the insights back with Klaviyo for targeted segments & email drips for when we need to engage the influencers for one-off campaigns. Also, their customer support is great! Really hands on helping us roll Gatsby out to our clients with unique 1-pagers, webinars, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Right now we’re using a 3rd party survey tool and/or a manual process to further vet the influencers and gather more info. Would be great if Gatsby had this system built in directly or other ways to vet influencers programmatically for authenticity and engagement. Also would love to see insights on the influencer posts or someway to track that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

First and foremost, Gatsby helps drive sales - most of our captured influencers end up being recurring customers and many recruit their friends with genuine posts on their Instagram feeds (75% of the influencers we discovered on Gatsby posted on their Instagram within 1 week of asking them). We're seeing more clients share how our studio has positively impacted their lives -- gaining self-confidence, self-discovery and overcoming body issues. It's powerful hearing these stories, especially knowing that their friends and followers are also seeing them. Gatsby also humanizes our website visitors -- giving us direct contact to our most social customers. This helps inform our marketing and PR efforts -- we get to know our customer better and can speak to them on a more personal level. Gatsby has helped us understand the value of our product from the customer perspective while helping us grow our social media engagement and reach more authentically.

We would love more stats on the influencers Gatsby captures, so we can learn even more about them. We would also love a way to easily track the posts from our influencer partnerships - this would help us measure success more easily and save time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gatsby gave Body & Pole the tools to level up and attract a wider audience. It made it easy to streamline and connect us to the micro- influencer fitness members in our social media community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gatsby is very easy to use and learn. They have step by step instructions on their website that helps you build websites easily. In about 2 days I was able to build a website, and not only that, it was very easy. There are so many things you can do that are included in the packages. Setup was easy and quick, then quickly started development. It's open source and there are a few people already contributing a lot to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I ran into a few issues as I made some changes to the code. It is supposed to update as you save but sometimes it doesn't and I have to force stop it and start again. This might be an issue with my machine only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
