What do you like best about iContact?

iContact has a neat overall user interface that makes it easy for me and most of my team members to use. There isn't anything overly technical or complicated about the tools and functionality of iContact. It's great that we can import contacts from other sources such as event signups, phone calls and face-to-face meetings. We can simply load a spreadsheet with our contacts into iContact and have them added to our emailing lists. The mass emailing feature is great for not having to send emails individually or using email services that have restricted sending capacity. The design templates for the emails are professional with many suitable options for most of our emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iContact?

iContact has a bit of a small business feel to it that might not work as well for some types of emails we send out. Integrating it with some other software doesn't always happen smoothly, especially with more advanced CRM and sales-related software. Other than that, I don't dislike much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering iContact:

For the price, iContact is a solid value for basic digital marketing. You can use it for your own company or to help your clients with their marketing. One of the most valuable tools is the sign-up form feature, which allows you to add forms to your website and other web pages like landing pages. It's a great way to automate the opt-in process and generate new leads at all hours of the day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We've been able to capture leads online in an automated fashion with iContact. We can also import leads from other sources so we can manage all of our contacts in one place. The emailing functionality has been great for sending newsletters, notifications and promotional emails. SPAM policies and best email practices are something that would be hard to adhere to without software like iContact. We can rely on iContact to format and deliver bulk emails as efficiently as possible. We haven't had any major delivery or SPAM problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about iContact?

I really liked the built-in themes that were available to choose from when creating an email, as well as the option to import my email from a URL. I also found their performance reviews and charts to be really helpful when looking at the results of a deployment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iContact?

I didn't really like how iContact setup their contacts section and how their segmentation of the contacts worked -- I found it a bit awkward compared to other apps I've used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering iContact:

Depending on how much access and how many options you'd like to have for your CRM, you might want to look into all the similar available apps online and decide if iContact has enough options for your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

iContact was great at first at allowing us to create and deploy emails for our clients, but over time, it seemed limited compared to other apps that were online (it seems it might have changed again since we originally used it, so perhaps they updated & improved things).

What do you like best about iContact?

I like the fact that this platform is automated and sends messages to my existing clientele. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iContact?

The support from iContact is lackluster. I actually won a contest at iContact which included an email template custom made for my company. Unfortunately, whenever I would ask for changes to the template it took a long time to get a response. I was not impressed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering iContact:

I cannot, in good conscience, recommend iContact because of their support issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I was hoping that the custom email template would be the solution I was looking for to brand my business. It did help with that aspect and did benefit my communications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
