What do you like best about iContact?

I’ve relied on iContact for over a decade to reach readers of my column on literature and the arts on the intellectual site Factsandarts.com. I do find the recent improvements, such as the ability to add a YouTube video well-worth what I am paying to get my essays out to my subscribers. No spam—so readers are fully protected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iContact?

I have had to learn how to use iContact’s new images and texts and how to edit—and to be honest have found it difficult, but have figured it out, mostly. Also when someone unsubscribes, I can never add them back—even if they ask me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Major benefit is more readers for my column. Still working on using their images and formats that are supposed make things easier--and am doing a bit better at that. I wish I were better at this aspect and at getting help, but iContact is always there to help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about iContact?

Easy to use interface and connects with Google Analytics well. I can't speak to how easy the creation and designing of templates is because we use code exported from another platform, but do you have access to the HTML code, which is immensely helpful when troubleshooting design issues. The management of contacts is quite easy as well. Our account manager is highly responsive when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iContact?

You are unable to export metrics like click, CTR, opens, etc., in a report format, which is surprising, as this seems to be basic functionality that an email marketing platform should support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are able to reach over 160,000 newsletter subscribers on an immediate, weekly, and monthly frequency. Our newsletters end up driving about 15-20% of traffic to our website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
