What do you like best about iContact?

iContact allows us to create the best email campaigns for our company, with beautiful templates easy to edit and use that allow us to exponentially increase our subscribers. Additionally, we can program the emails of more than 15 consecutive days so as not to waste time doing it every day Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iContact?

Some templates require a bit of programming and HTML code handling to be able to edit it but I do not handle that knowledge much, so I have to contact some colleagues to help me, which should not be necessary Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering iContact:

It offers the most complete social and public relations software in the industry, which has helped make a thorough analysis in my team, allows us to improve our marketing and strengthen the decision-making based on the data. We recommend using the trial version first and later if it meets your requirements using the paid one Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We needed a software that would help us with digital marketing via email as well as automate those processes without much complication, researching the internet we got to iContact and we thought it was great to cover the needs previously indicated Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about iContact?

It didn't take long for me to sign up with iContact and start adding contacts and creating emails. Using iContact is pretty straightforward if you can use common applications like email or social media. The menus and overall layout of iContact is nice and neat, which makes it easy to locate all of its various features. The email templates are professional and there are enough of them to help me get started with most of the common emails I send out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iContact?

Though I can definitely track some activity and leverage contact data for other business purposes, there aren't as many built-in analytics features as I'd like. For the price, I'd expect to see a little bit more from iContact so that I can have a more complete understanding of how are emails are doing and the improvements we can make. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering iContact:

I'd definitely suggest adding a sign up form on your website or other web assets like landing pages. You can make reference to the sign up forms from many places in both the physical and digital world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

iContact has been a relatively inexpensive and effective solution for acquiring contact information and creating and sending out mass emails in a professional manner. It's been a great time saver since it automates many of the processes involved with email communications. We have received a respectable number of registrations for special events through our iContact email invitations. When people want to unsubscribe, iContact provides a means for contacts to unsubscribe on their own, which saves us time from having to manually manage our contact lists.

What do you like best about iContact?

It has a large number of templates, which provides a great variety when it comes to sending emails. It is important to note that in the area of design and editing meets quite well, since it has variety.

The automation when sending emails, saves a lot of time, because if you have available the customer database it only takes a few moments to send emails in bulk.

You can also organize lists easily. You can have several lists for different clients, areas or interests, which makes it possible to generate a simple and effective distinction within the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iContact?

When you have to modify the source to write an email it takes a bit, since you have to be reviewing and selecting each time you want to change.

There are also some things that can not be copied, which means working twice as hard on routine tasks that could be done more easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering iContact:

Marketing campaigns through email are a good way to attract customers and retain the ones you already have. Without software this is something more tedious to do. iContact Pro helps that this work is not so complicated and gives you options to make campaigns more attractive and effective, so it is a good option to improve the marketing area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

When you have a large number of clients you do not have to neglect their attention and you must have them informed and updated of new products, interests or relevant information. Send massive emails and have updated lists that divide the different sections and information that we send helps us to take much less time to send emails to customers.

Having segmented clients also improves the efficiency of the work and our research work to develop new campaigns through email. With the division of clients that we have within the program, we can generate more complete marketing campaigns with a more defined target. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about iContact?

I like using iContact because each week, I upload our new customers into the database in which they will receive our email promotions. This is almost effortless as I can easily schedule who and when I want the emails sent to. It creates us A LOT of repeat business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iContact?

I wish I could clear out the sent folder and sometimes I have to resize images when they are too large. It would be so much more convenient if we could automatically resize images to fit the area and that are within the size requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

This helps us increase our repeat business. Once you set up the email templates, anyone in your office should be able to use it with ease! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a great feature that lets you see the data from the past (shares, clicks, etc) and compare it with the current data. It is perfect for making analysis and choosing or modifying a strategy.

Suited for everyone, as it is a lot easier to use than other related platforms, iContact is a great tool for modern companies, requiring campaigns of mass email on a simple way.

Though most email templates are easy to edit for simple adjustment, refining the designs in a very particular way can be complicated. We sometimes can't get the spacing exactly the way we want it.

In spite of the fact that most email formats are anything but difficult to alter for basic alteration, refining the plans in an exceptionally specific manner can be convoluted. We once in a while can't get the dividing precisely the manner in which we need it. Sorting out the different contact records can be confounding at first.
