(Original )Information
What do you like best about iContact?

Easy to use interface and built in abilities allow fast creation and testing of emails. Reporting is great. Helpful staff and support. Our monthly calls really helped us stay on top of email trends and keep on track towards improving our open rates and click rates. Love the scheduling ability. Love the A/B testing abilities the platform has. Multiple folders makes for easy breakout of work between employees at the company. List management features are easy to use and manage. Support is responsive and helpful - helped with issues right away and that is always a very good thing, especially when we are pushed for a deadline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iContact?

Would like a little more flexibility with the interface, and more built in features with customization options. Would like ability to edit the footer on the emails within the platform - currently we can edit this only if we speak with our iContact adviser. Overall, a superior email marketing platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering iContact:

Great platform and great/helpful advisers. Platform allows you to schedule emails, manage lists, review stats on openers, bounce rates, clicks, urls clicked, and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have been working with iContact for the past couple years to improve our email marketing campaigns and sender reputation. Our iContact advisers have helped us improve our open rates, inbox placement, email design, and more over these years. The iContact advisers have always been very knowledgeable about email trends, best practices and inbox placement. We felt like we were in good hands with the company.

What do you like best about iContact?

It does what it needs to do and integrates with Salesforce. iContact was more affordable than similar email marketing brands that integrated with Salesforce. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iContact?

Don't expect editing to be easy (specifically the ability to arrange and edit templated and html emails). The ready-made designs are very hit or miss, and some look pretty outdated. The integration with Salesforce was less than ideal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering iContact:

I would really shop around before deciding on any email marketing solution and try to compare pricing as close to apples-to-apples as you can. Most pricing will be based on number of seats (users) for the service, number of email recipients, and number of emails you plan to send during the pay period (typically monthly). Just be sure you have all the information to ensure the best decision for your business (and consider any integrations you may want/need for workflow and view of the customer). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We needed an email marketing solution that integrated with Salesforce. iContact did that, but it wasn't perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
