What do you like best about iContact?

As a sales person ,I realize the importance of good customer support to a business and "good customer support '" is what I like most about icontact. I like the intuitiveness and how everyone on the digital sales team at Iroko gets to use icontact with little or no programming knowledge.

It enable the sales and marketing team, segment our email contact list using important consumer metrics like ; last purchase date , purchase frequency , location etc . While enabling us setup customized workflows which automatically send regular emails about new movie offers to just the right contacts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iContact?

Nothing to dislike about iContact. Maybe better integration with social media ; particularly with Linkedin Business ; since a lot of our users are professionals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use iContact for email marketing. It provides us with an excellent inbox delivery ratio and also enable us know when an email recipient opens our email . Thus over the last few months, we are learning to send emails to only recipients who have a track record of reading our newsletters , thereby reducing the risk of getting our emails restricted by major email providers.

Overall ,it enable us keep the conversation with our customers continuous ; even on occasions ,when they aren't patronizing our services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about iContact?

I like that it's a program that anyone can use. I have a graphic design degree and really utilize those skills to create the best emails. But before I was in charge of our email marketing, another staff member was using it. She doesn't have the technical knowledge that I do and was still able to produce great looking emails with the included templates. It's a program that can truly be used by anyone, no matter your skill set. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iContact?

I don't know that I actually have any dislikes for this program. I have to use another email marketing program for a separate business division and iContact is LIGHTYEARS ahead of them! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering iContact:

Use it. It's wonderful. You won't be dissapointed. You will be disappointed you wasted time on other software! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are able to better compete for our share of the home improvement market. I am able to quickly make professional & attractive emails to promote the sale of products on our ecommerce website as well as our physical locations. We get the word out about special sales, events and the latest addition to our website... our blog! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
