    Very easy to use and they have AMAZING design templates. It is a very good application and I have recommended it to my brother in law. They let you have an option to send it out to 500 people for free. Then they charge you. Plus, they have A+ costumer service!!

    Pros:
    I love the drop and drag features where you can create an amazing design to send out. They have very good templates and it is very easy to use. Plus, they have very good costumer service. They are very helpful. It is similar to constant contact.
    Cons:
    The fact that the drag and drop was not perfect. You cannot place an image wherever you want. You need to follow their templates and I find that it is very rigid.

    Ease in using the product - launching, etc., maybe we hasve been tamed to use this product and have gotten used to it; maybe there are other better products on the market, but the fear, cost, time of leaving icontact to explore another one, shudders me.
    Cons:

    Reasons for choosing iContact

    constant contact never responded to our request. We felt we were too small for them.

    Pros:
    We were able to deploy this to over 200 offices around the country and recommended it to many of our international organizations. We could manage all those accounts from a central office and deploy centrally designed email templates to all our offices. We could easily segment data to target email marketing.
    Cons:
    The most challenging situation we encountered was we had to split our 200+ accounts into two separate enterprise level accounts, making us have to login to each one separately to locate and update certain things from our central office. I don't believe this is really an issue any longer with the product, but we encountered some issue early on they felt would be handled by splitting into two. It just made management of the whole account structure more challenging.

    Reasons for switching to iContact

    NetSuite was not delivering our emails well and tracking was not easy. Also our offices needed more direct control of the emails they sent out and this was not easy to do in NetSuite.

    Pros:
    It's extremely easy to deploy automated marketing campaigns, newsletters, quick information to your target audience using this platform. I enjoyed the ease of use in terms of sending out an email. It's nice for small business owners who don't have the time, energy, or resources to allocate to figuring out an email marketing platform.
    Cons:
    I love this platform, but it's extremely out-of-date compared to other email platforms. For example, it's impossible to edit a template. For it being 2022, I would assume this would be easier from a user-friendly perspective.

    Reasons for choosing iContact

    Ultimately the price point is what led our small business to choose iContact

    Meghann, thank you for your review! It is possible to edit a template. If you need assistance, our support team can help.

    When I want to send out an email, I go into my list of prior emails, make changes, and send. It's very easy. It has all of the functionality we need for sending out bulk emails.
    Cons:
    The editor is a bit clunky. It does take a bit of time to create a new email format. Sometimes it doesn't behave like it is supposed to. But once you save that new format you can use it over and over.

    Reasons for switching to iContact

    We kept losing data with ClickDimensions, it wasn't stable for the 3+ years we used it. We tried to help them fix their software but spent more time resolving issues than using the product. Their support was terrible. It does no good to have all this functionality and not be able to reliably use it.

    Pros:
    iContact is a very user friendly product for anyone. My company sends thousands of emails a week and we are always very pleased with how easy it is to create an email and send it immediately. I also really enjoy the dashboard, it helps me keep track knowing what emails have been sent and what emails I have yet to send. i also appreciate that iContact technology can delete any duplicate people in a contact list. That saves me time from having to go through thousands of people making sure I don't have any duplicates. My customer support is also amazing. My iContact rep. is always so good about getting back to me when I have questions or concerns.
    Cons:
    Sometimes when I am creating a contact list in iContact, I have several excel sheets I need to upload to that one contact list...iContact doesn't let me select multiple excel sheets to upload at once, I have to do one at a time which takes a lot of extra time for me to do. I also wish I could delete more than one contact list at once. On the "upload contact" box, I want to be able to see the whole title of my contact list. Sometimes iContact cuts off my list title if it's too long, I would like to see the whole title...

    Vendor Response

    Hi Lauren! We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to provide this feedback. Our support team loves helping companies like HireLive who make such a tremendous positive impact. As for the concerns you raised about list uploading, we are taking all product improvement comments very seriously and are working to continually improve our product. We currently do allow you to have 5 concurrent uploads at any given time, but you must start the uploads one at a time. And you are correct, we cannot upload multiple sheets from one excel file. We have noted this potential feature, along with multiple list deletion, and title expansion ¿ and we realize its importance. Thank you again and have a great day!

    Pros:
    iContact is easy to use in most cases. There are tons of different templates and creating your own email template is a breeze. If you get one of the Pro plans they'll even help you make templates for future use, so that's great, too. There are plenty of ways to upload data and keep track of that data. In fact I tend to use iContact to export my data for use on other platforms because it keeps everything so nicely. My point of sale doesn't even allow the breadth of exports and options that iContact does, so it's more than just an email platform to me. Automation is visually very simple and means that I know I'm reaching my audience at the correct times. I no longer have to manually send each email, and with the automation there are tons of options to segment in addition. This means I'm not sending frivolous emails, so that keeps our open rate high.
    Cons:
    I have three businesses that have to be kept separate and my only big complaint is that I can't copy automation plans or other things back and forth between them. So a lot of time is wasted redoing certain campaigns between the locations. I also think the social connectivity needs to be updated. Twitter for one is outdated and the actual website allows much more text to be posted than in-app. They're several updates behind on Twitter.

    Vendor Response

    Hi Trevor! We are thrilled to hear that iContact¿s design services and automation tools make your job easier and your emails more impactful with your customers. At iContact we value being your one stop shop for your email marketing needs. We also appreciate your feedback about copying your automation plans from one platform to another. We¿ve noted this feature and completely understand how it would be helpful. Thank you and have a wonderful day!
