What do you like best about iContact?

Our strategic advisor is really kind, funny, and very helpful for our email marketing needs. She goes over our account each month with us and takes the time to help us out and make sure we're understanding and doing everything correctly. I also really love their system, simple to use and effective. We can include and exclude lists to send an email to, schedule it in advance, and forget about it. We can also see the history of a contact - what they open and how many times. Their clicks, etc. This makes it so we can send to people who open our emails, ensuring we don't get blocked by the major email providers. They have excellent customer service! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iContact?

Sometimes sending and uploading lists can be a long process, but it is worth it to ensure you're sending to the right contacts. The HTML editor can be funky at times, but it is handy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering iContact:

There are a lot of advantages and customization in using iContact to get the most out of your email list! Excellent customer service - they're always there if you need help or suggestions. They can even help write your email or build it, make subject line suggestions, and analyze account metrics information. Good organization of your list and list hygiene as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have been able to succeed at email marketing with iContact. Our emails don't get blocked by major service providers because through iContact, we can only send to people who open our emails, so we don't get marked as spam. Our open rates have increased, and complaints have gone down. We still see the same amount of response or even more through doing this! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about iContact?

The finished product looks OK, not any better than Mailchimp or Constant Contact. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iContact?

The program is clunky and there's a known glitch that keeps the emails from going to social media, especially Facebook, which makes the emails much less effective. It takes a ridiculous amount of time for customer service to get back to you. I don't mean an hour. I mean days or weeks. Apparently they don't understand that these emails are time sensitive. They also send the response in a "noreply" email so you can't have a dialogue. I gave it three tries. They struck out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

More bounces than other programs. Hard to understand their reports, not enough information and I'm going back to Mailchimp Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about iContact?

The positive aspects of iContact are that it is simple to use, straightforward, and offers reasonable pricing for everything included in the subscription. Furthermore, their customer support team is also outstanding, and they are always prepared to go above and above to assist users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iContact?

Even though they just implemented a drag and drop-based email template creation option, the interface is not particularly intuitive and requires greater flexibility and smoother usability. Additionally, The price plan is expensive when a specific volume of email addresses is required; instead, they should consider offering bulk pricing plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The all-inclusive experience with iContact has been beneficial. With relative ease, it allows us to manage a vast volume of email addresses from customers and leads and send them regular updates, offers, and newsletters from our company. However, it is quite limited in terms of its drag and drop-based email template and landing page creation features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about iContact?

Comparable to other mailsending platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about iContact?

Not very "on the ball" when it comes to new trends (like responsiveness).

Very customer-unfriendly. Will let the renewal date pass without notice (even if your account has been inactive for 6 months) and will bill your VISA for over 900 dollars. Don't give your credit card number to these people! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering iContact:

This company is not about giving a good service but about making as much money as possible. They don't care about customer satisfaction. We were customer for over 10 years but still they treated us like idiots when we had a problem with our account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Sending newsletters for clients (I am the administrator). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
