Easy, Precise Targeting
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.
CONSNot 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
PROSThis 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
CONSThe 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.
PROSEasy to use platform. Good entry level features, including retargeting capabilities. Uploading creatives are very easy.
CONSThe 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.
PROSEasy 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.
CONSREGEX 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.
PROSThe 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.
CONSWe like the platform just the way it is. At this time there would be no improvement needed.
Reason for choosing SharpSpring Ads
It was offered in our SharpSpring account.

Digital advertising become easy by using SharpSpring Ads
SharpSpring Ads is a solid advertising platform that offers a range of useful features for businesses. While it may not be the most cost-effective option for small businesses, it can be a good choice for those who are looking for a user-friendly platform with strong targeting capabilities.
PROSThe platform is very easy to use, even for those who have little experience with digital advertising. It offers a range of customizable templates that can be used to create ads quickly and easily. It also offers a range of targeting options, including geographic, demographic, and behavioral targeting. This allows businesses to reach their target audience more effectively and increase the ROI of their ad campaigns.
CONSMain disadvantage of SharpSpring Ads which I have seen is its reporting capabilities. While the platform does offer some basic reporting features, it may not be as robust as other advertising platforms on the market.

Great add-on
Is it the best advertising platform in the world? I don't know, but as an add-on to your Marketing Automation, this is a very powerful tool. With the CRM and Automation capabilities of SharpSpring, you can select and create audiences that you can target directly with the Ads add-on (you can use it standalone as well, but I haven't used it that way).
PROSCreating audiences within SharpSpring's CRM makes for very powerful targeting. All the actions and events that people undertake can be used to create segments that you can target with personalized offers.
CONSReporting is not the best and as an agency with a B2B focus, we really miss LinkedIn as a channel.

SharpSpring Ads is a Great Product!

PROSThe ease of deploying a new campaign is quick and easy. All of the conversions, tracking, and needed metrics are easy to access. The ad network gives us great coverage, impressions and ultimately clicks.

SharpSpring Ads is a valuable tool for retargeting segments of your database with display ads.
If you're looking to deploy tightly segmented display ads to previous website visitors this tool is perfect.
PROSThe best feature is the ability to tightly segment to capture only the right audience. This makes it both inexpensive to run ads, and improves conversion rates significantly.
CONSI wish the product was more tightly integrated into out-of-the-box conversion tracking within the SharpSpring app.

Outstanding customer service - still a few limiting functions
The software is relatively inexpensive and performs great so far! Our [SENSITIVE CONTENT] is excellent and always responds in a timely manner willing to help out.
CONSThere are a few limiting functions. For example, the software recently removed a feature that would let you differentiate conversions between sign-ups and purchases. Also, I have to have our account manager upload our creative because the system does not allow us to do it ourselves. Lastly, the third-party data does not seem to be the best. Our own uploaded lists have far outperformed any third-party campaigns we've run.

PROSSharpSprings Ads has allowed me to add additional value to not only my business but to my customers. It's easy to use and delivers good results.

SharpSpring Ads have helped promote our Webinars!
I love it! I like using SharpSpring and am a fan of the Ads feature a lot!
PROSTargeted ads for our specific landing page has helped us get signups for our webinars. This has helped us with our lead conversion and brand-awareness building.
CONSSome of the historical reporting is not visible for analytics. I wish they would add it. I currently track it via the landing page which is associated with the campaign.
