I chose iContact first because they are local to my home office . I have stayed with them because of their excellent customer service. Every question I have related to my email marketing is always answered thoroughly and politely. I appreciate the time they have taken to troubleshoot minor technical issues.

What do you like best about iContact?

Emails are the most responsive methods for communicating current sales, events and notices to a large group. When we send a mass email, we see results immediately. I like the ease of use to design and set-up an email, and the personal attention from my account representative who often outlines strategies with my contact list to help on deliverability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iContact?

Sometimes have issues with our media 'storage' that doesn't appear accurate. Wish I understood better how to reach the people who are listed on the dashboard results as 'NO INFORMATION'. Don't like the alternating IP addresses as I'm unable to ask our local email service to whitelist our email IP (since it has numerous IP addresses that might be utilized by other advertisers). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

iContact emails allow us to communicate sales, promotions, services, benefits and safety information quickly and to a large crows. Results are noticed immediately by the phone calls we receive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about iContact?

Ease of use is one of the reasons that I truly enjoy working with iContact. Prior to using this software, we were using Publisher to build our newsletters. iContact allows us to send out professional looking emails within minutes.

The Live Chat for any issues have been very satisfactory and the IT employees extremely professional Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iContact?

Since the update there is not much to complain about. At one point, I did try to make an appointment to meet virtually with our Customer Success Manager and we were not able to connect due to tech issues. I was disappointed that after this event, he did not attempt to reach out to me again to resolve the issues that we were having and to walk us through the new features of the software. However, I was able to resolve our issues through the Live Chat, which I have used quite a few times very successfully.

Another small issue I have found is being able to download contact lists to Excel. It is one of the few non-user friendly aspects to iContact as it seems to be quite hidden. A more obvious download button would be greatly appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Ability to keep in contact with our membership lists and provide up to date information. The newer updates to iContact have allowed us to add buttons for members to register easily for conferences and other meetings. Since our members are spread over 2 states, one the major benefits is the ability to easily disseminate information. In addition, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about iContact?

First,I must commend the icontact customer support department and how pleasant they make me feel on every occasion,when I have reached out to them for enquiries or technical assistance.I like the mobile and desktop email preview,which enable us ascertain how our emails will look on different screen sizes,thereby ensuring all email recipients get a similar reading experience,not minding the size of their device screen.

Ability to check web link click rate,email open rates etc has made it easier to ascertain which of our email marketing is working and the ones not working.
