"DaveWears + Needls = Fire Threads"

5/5

What do you like best about needls.?

It takes very little input from me to generate a large selection of ads. So copy and images are presented uniformly and matching the copy and branding on my website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about needls.?

Dislike? I would say the only thing I disliked was not having control of the AD account, but I don't mind in this case, because Needls has stood by their reputation of spectacular customer service and this process was crazy easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering needls.:

Get your images ready in the correct dimensions (they make it easy to know what those are).

Get good ad copy, don't just make it up on the fly.

Make sure you're sending people to a page that matches up with the message the ads send. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is needls. solving and how is that benefiting you?

I do less work, but more meaningful outreach to people who don't know they want something from DaveWears yet. So I take all my images, copy, and the link to my site, and I get 30+ ads, all providing a better image of my business to the world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Buyer beware"

0/5

What do you like best about needls.?

Not a lot to list here. Email response time is very slow. The only way to actually talk to anyone on the phone is by scheduling a call through their website and the next available time is always a few days away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about needls.?

I enrolled in Needls program and paid the $420. After payment I was informed that per Facebook's policy they could not take me on as a client as they had already reached the maximum number of clients they could have at one time according to Facebooks policies. It has now been a week and I still haven't received my refund even though they say they processed it a week ago. I kept getting the run around that most banks take a few days to process the refund.

To actually talk to someone on the phone I have to schedule a call through the website and the next available appointment is next week.

I have spoken with my bank and they do not see the refund in any incoming transactions.

The part that really makes me upset with this whole ordeal is they knew that I was in network marketing the entire time we talked before I signed up. So now I'm out $420, no advertisements being ran, no refund in sight, all because they over promise in the beginning and don't have a handle on the logistics of their company.

Furthermore after multiple attempts to get an answer about my refund I ended up having to just dispute the original transaction with my bank. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Still testing but results have not been stellar so far."

2.5/5

What do you like best about needls.?

Ease of set up, though fewer options than offered on Facebook for Business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about needls.?

Billing Canadian customers in USD sucks! Even though options are available, I wasn't too happy to see that Headers and descriptions were not being used on all ads. I also wasn't happy with having my credit card billed for a new ad when there was already sufficient credit from the previous ad already sitting as a credit. Still waiting to see if that will be utilized before I get billed again. I was led to understand that the credit would be utilized on this ad, so the additional billing was a bit of a surprise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering needls.:

Know your market! Be prepared for the monthly $100 USD fee for using this platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is needls. solving and how is that benefiting you?

While this is simple an alternative to going directly through the Facebook platform, I have yet to see any real results. Trying to gain information was difficult when I started, because I apparently didn't word my questions correctly. I had a great algorithm going and was advised to switch the type of ad I was running. That was a disaster! Great for them, lousy for me. Very expensive with everything is in USD, when exchange rate is considered. Now that the base rate for ads has increased, I am hesitant to go forward, but they already have my money so I guess time will tell. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Rose,

Thank you very much for taking the time to write your candid review of our platform. We always strive for an exceptional customer experience and I am sorry if your experience thus far has not been what you had hoped.

Apologies about getting billed in USD being a Canadian customer. We are based in Canada but our software currently only supports USD. We hope to change this soon.

Yes - we do make it much easier to create a FB campaign than Facebook itself and by design we take away some more complex options to allow for that.

We are confident we can produce the results you are hoping as we have done so with thousands of other happy customers. If you would like a 1 on 1 consultation to review your campaigns we are happy to do so - simply schedule a call at call.needls.com and we will reach out.

Thank you again for choosing needls!

4.5/5

What do you like best about needls.?

I like that there is a chat you can go to with any concerns, and they were right wait the 6 weeks, I like the hands on ease of making the ads here as I am a very busy lady and do not have the time to put together my own ads. They are all very helpful and wanting to help where they can Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about needls.?

All was pretty good actually, no real issues they were very busy at one point is all Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5

What do you like best about needls.?

The Needls team was helpful in getting us set up and within a week we had seen immediate results:

- Increased traffic

- Increased sales

- Low bounce rate

- Low CPC (~$0.18)

The analytics are really easy to review and understand as well. This helps us know where our spend is going and what results we're seeing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly nothing yet, the platform is working the way we want it to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They are very patient and accommodating to my questions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about needls.?

My Ad didn't work as expected. I took more than a month for my Ad to be approved. The timing for chat support is not working for me. You should have 24/7 technical support to answer our queries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Michael Koral of needls.

edit

HI there! Thank you for your review. We pride ourselves in our customer service and appreciate your feedback.

With respect to your ads taking a month to be approved that was certainly an exception. My hunch is you were trying to promote a service that is pretty grey in the eyes of Facebook which resulted in having your campaign go through an appeal process. Sometimes it takes longer that people hope to get approved, but what I can say is that you stand the best chance of getting approved through us as we have a direct relationship with Facebook that increases the likelihood of the "grey" campaigns getting accepted.

Again - thanks for choosing needls!

"Fantastic Customer Support"

5/5

What do you like best about needls.?

Best customer service i have seen yet!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about needls.?

Nothing yet. I will admit it does seem like a pricey service however its well worth the $ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering needls.:

If you every need help they WILL help you, and they will walk you through the process step by step along the way.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is needls. solving and how is that benefiting you?

Lead Generation and Facebook page integration. This service made running lead generation ads super easy and no touch! Also with the abilities of Needls engage being able to add industry specific content onto my FB page is spectacular this is a time saver for sure and in any business Time is Money. Customers are Driven to my page, I can interact with them via messenger and i have gotten more likes and add posts because of this service. If you have used the FB business editor its extremely difficult to use and very time consuming as well. I spent money using FB editor to run leads and i spent countless hours testing and running ads and in one month i ended up with like 15 leads. I used the Needls service with the same budget i had spent prior with FB business editor and it took me less than 1 hr to set everything up and and the end of the month I came back with 91 leads generated, not to mention the post comment page likes and visitors to my page. THIS STUFF WORKS! Any time i had a question or needed help there was someone available to help that was KIND, COURTEOUS AND RESPECTFUL of my time. Again I am very very Impressed!

"Terrible Results - Possibly Fraud"

0/5

What do you like best about needls.?

I did find value in learning which image/text combinations worked best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about needls.?

Simply put, the platform did not work for us. Several thousand in ad spend and 0 conversions. We spent a significant amount of time with customer support attempting to optimize, but the results never improved. When we posted a question to Reddit asking if anyone else had issues with Needls, a Needls representative responded by posting our confidential information to Reddit. When we called and spoke with a Needls representative, they became hostile and locked us out of our account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Surpassed my expectations"

5/5

What do you like best about needls.?

I own an agency that has worked with large corporations and run ads with huge budgets, reaching millions of people. We have gotten great results working with Facebook Power Editor directly, but it is tedious to work with. Working with Needls has been so simple to create the campaigns and honestly, the ability to reach someone on chat right away to help you with the campaign has been critical to getting the campaigns launched. Access to this help has been invaluable to me. The team has even helped me with ideas on targeting, sent me related articles, and helped with headlines and messaging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about needls.?

Initially, I disliked that the campaigns don't run on your own Facebook ads account, but after speaking with James, he explained how it all works, and I'm ok with it. I'm used to having total control in Power Editor (now Ads Manager) and I'm ok letting go some control in an effort to get better results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering needls.:

Ask all the questions you have and the support team will answer them for you. I was uncomfortable at first, but after asking a ton of questions, I now feel totally comfortable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is needls. solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm using Needls mostly for lead generation for my own business, local businesses, and will also use this on the larger campaigns going forward. I've always been proud of our relatively low CPC and CPM costs, but I can't wait to see how low we can go with Needls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
