Easy, Precise Targeting

PROS

SharpSpring Ads enables precision targeting, selecting clients on the SharpSpring List level. For our clients, that means being able to target based on application or product interest. We've also found it very useful for promoting webinars by targeting just contacts that opened emails but have not yet registered. On top of the targeting, we have control over which websites ads will appear on - giving the clients peace of mind of where their brand is being displayed.

CONS

Not a real con, but being able to select website inventory in advance would be a plus.

This is an excellent alternative of Salesforce or comparable software

The use of forms and detailed contact fields aids in effective segmentation, resulting in improved targeting of specific audience subsets and ultimately enhancing our advertising ROI

PROS

This platform offers exceptional campaign automation capabilities, such as automated email sending and list management based on user actions. It also provides effective lead generation forms and a user-friendly setup process. Furthermore, its media center feature enables the creation of trackable links for resources, allowing for monitoring of lead engagement

CONS

The landing page builder provided by the platform is subpar and practically unusable. As a result, we opt to construct our landing pages directly on our website. Additionally, the email design and building feature can be somewhat challenging and not always user-friendly. Furthermore, the ads management tool could benefit from improvement as it can be somewhat cumbersome to navigate

Reason for choosing SharpSpring Ads

Get good features in less price as compared to Salesforce.

Entry Level Digital Advertising

We used Perfect Audience for display retargeting and Facebook retargeting. We saw a decent ROAS but the lack of features and the poor dashboard and reporting tools led us to switch to a different product.

PROS

Easy to use platform. Good entry level features, including retargeting capabilities. Uploading creatives are very easy.

CONS

The dashboard did not work well. Seemed clunky. Too basic of a platform and didn't allow for advanced targeting. The dashboard would hardly ever work the way it should. The reporting feature was also pretty horrible. I don't even think the filtering feature works at all either.

Sharpspring Ads a Power House for E-Commerce

The team have been incredibly helpful in both set up and implementation. I've been very impressed with the degree of support offered. The on boarding was good and the training documentation etc is thorough. We are seeing positive results and look forward to it making a substantial impact on clients businesses in the future.

PROS

Easy campaign development. Meaningful tracking of ROI thanks to the attribution engine. Access to over 200 ad exchanges. Great integration with Sharpspring for overall sales and marketing reporting. Geo targeting.

CONS

REGEX set up can be a bit difficult if you don't have access to a developer internally however the team were very helpful and gave really good guidance on how to do the set up.

Reason for choosing SharpSpring Ads

I trust the functionality of the Sharpspring platform and Sharpspring Ads integrates well with it. The support team were brilliant with the Sharpspring on boarding and implementation which gave huge confidence for rolling out Sharpspring ads. The pricing on it was very competitive and the usability is great.

SgarpSpring Ads is a Game Changer

The overall experience has been positive. We have been using it since conception and have been implementing it every day. The results are positive and we would recommend those contemplating using the service to jump in and just get started building an audience. It is very straight forward and exciting to watch it do its magic.

PROS

The software is really intuitive and it helps us grab the low hanging fruit for those interested in the products or services we offer. The ability to custom make graphics and display them on the network for a reasonable cost has netted us quite a bit of work that we would have not had the opportunity before. It is a perfect match for our SharpSpring instance as we can get all the metrics and see what is going on with the conversions in real time.

CONS

We like the platform just the way it is. At this time there would be no improvement needed.
