iContact

"Best part of the iContact is the wide range of templates with which you can can straightway start with Email Campaigning. It supports Up to 25,000 Contacts It supports Import Mailing List, Remove Unsubscribed Contacts, Group Email Contacts, Automatically Detect, Require Opt-in, Demographic Segmentation, Account Health Meter and Social Media Tools when it comes to Contact Management Features. One more advantage is that Dashboard is user friendly and intuitive"

One of the concern when it comes to iContact is that without a Premier account, Google Analytics stats cannot be in Sync with your dashboard. Only if extra cost is provide, you can see the information all in one location. I felt this feature should have be available in the normal pack. Also A/B testing feature also comes out with extra cost .

"This email marketing software provides the best features together in a intuitive and user-friendly interface. With iContact, once can create an very good email advertising campaign that brings your company the attention it needs to grow. Requirements like surveys, auto-responses are the features which can be easily built . Overall, iContact comes with an attractive combination of features in an intuitive environment that helps in growing the client list"

Whenever you got a situation to send our content to your subscribers without much effort or uncomfortableness in using the application then you need to use the iContact. Since it got a wide variety of template to use and it also provides an editor to edit the templates to attach your brand identity to it which is easy to use.

They have issues with their advanced features which seems they haven't tested in the development stage. Their HTML editor doesn't give us a good impression of using it. They need to work on their looks and designs by making it a much more user-friendly tool in accessing their advanced features and the editors.

iContact helps to increase your reach. And if you're a professional coder or marketing interested in improving your results then you'll seriously love to use the application since it allows you to create your own message board and provides an amazing result. After using the application we could see a gradual increase in the percentage of our customers.

Manage contacts easily, send personalized emails to your contacts, and creating templates for future use are some of interesting features of the software. apart form this tracking of your sent emails is most powerful thing I believe. when you know how many people read your message and how many dont, which type of subject lines are most effective, what messages are mostly viewed and what were ignored, etc then you can make a perfect business strategy based on past analytics. This software provide you all these complex analytics on a single click.

- website sometime take more time in loading - Doest provide integration with all leading apps in market - I have heard that people have problem with creating specific reports, Personally I have never find such issue yet as I have minimal usage of specific report creation, I mostly use it for most common report generation I think these are few points which you may consider as pitfalls.

Icontact offers a free trial version for people to try their platform. It permits you to send unlimited emails. IContact helps a lot to create campaigns and handle subscribers.

Icontact has pretty dated user-interface. Icontact does not import automatically contacts from Gmail and it is quite annoying. It has a lacking autoresponder capability. Icontact is missing a couple of basic functionalities that I wish it will be improved soon. Icontact offers a limited storage space for images. Icontact does not show bugs or slowness.

Icontact customer service is quite good and the team is quite responsive and very helpful. Icontact is a quite good marketing tool that can be adopted by any kind of business to increase sales and interactivity with customers. I would suggest Icontact to marketing teams who wants to go further in their email marketing efforts.

It's easy to use and extremely informative. I have been using iContact for my newsletters for about 4 years now. They look professional and after learning how to update the newsletters, I can keep in touch with my customers with very little effort! Nearly half of my subscribers open every email. I'm finding ways to make my newsletters "sticky" so they can't wait to open the next one.

For the price, iContact offers an extremely good value for most customers or business. However, if you need to run advanced nurturing campaigns, or need vertical specific capabilities there are more sophisticated solutions (Bronto - retail), or Marketing Automation solutions (Marketo). I would like to be able to segment across the board to all my lists too.

It's easy to use, not much to be aware of before starting out. I would always test your messages before sending; I have occasionally had unwanted code pulled in when I work in visual mode rather than html, so it's good to check for that kind of thing before it goes to your audience.

Using this Software we can manage business environment with great growth in communication. If we can ignore some of complexity and minor bugs then this will be one of the great software in business communication. Expecting some more and simple features to make the software more Simpler and advance too.

Icontact Pro is an email marketing software platform which helps businesses grow. Their focus is small businesses, though they offer to help companies with email marketing campaigns from beginner to multi-million subscriber company email lists. Icontact was purchased by another company called Vocus in 2012 comes integrated with Facebook and Twitter primarily. The pricing for Icontact Pro which is what I tested starts at $99 with blocks of 2500 contacts available for upgrade at $30 each per month. Among other paid upgrades available. All basic features are included to create personalized email marketing campaigns for inbound leads or subscribers. You can relate to customers better by using their integrated customer relationship management system. And create stylish landing pages to capture inbound traffic new email subscribers I like targeting subscribers using workflows that are based on the best content and audience demographic such as type, geography and activity.

The ability create and manage multiple subscriber lists and track email opens, click throughs, unsubscribers, bounce rates is important, as email marketing is a major component of online marketing. It seems quite simple to setup though someone with no experience using email marketing software would face a bit of a learning curve. Workflow set ups in Icontact Pro helps nurture prospects through entire customer lifecycle which makes Icontact unique in the market. The ability to engage target audiences via social media is useful but seems a bit out of their specialization. Though it is helpful to compare data from email campaigns, landing pages and social posts in order to help maximize sales this component isn't as powerful as other software available just for social media marketing.

While the visual editor is easy to use and the templates diverse, editing these templates is time consuming. Some advanced features are not prominently presented and a bit difficult to implement. The HTML editor is a bit buggy and there is no way to preview templates as they would be seen in email providers. Native testing with html/css compression is an opportunity for this company to be taken more seriously. Certain dashboards are a bit difficult to navigate and find various functions when creating an email. For example, to send a test email when it's hidden in the message bar.

By using Icontact it's possible to improve communication with prospects and customer by sending personalized email campaigns complete with analytic reports. My gripes are mostly technical as I find it challenging to work with buggy content editors and editing templates. If you can manage to setup your campaign efficiently you are well on the way to obtaining good value for your money with Icontact.

The email tracking function is of great use, to know who opened your email, who forwarded it, or who just deleted it without reading is a huge benefit. Another option I like is the ability to resend previous emails without having to write a completely new one when you are pressed for time. Contact lists are easily manageable in iContact.

I greatly enjoy using iContact and I can't find many drawbacks with the product. However some of the features I often use are not very visible on the user interface and I have to remind myself each time where to look for them. Apart from that, I can't say there is anything else I dislike.

iContact is suitable for organization of every size providing several plans to choose from in order to meet every need possible. It provides the ability to create HTML messages which you have to code yourself, or use Message builder to create a message the way you feel is right. Using iContact you are able to seamlessly manage huge amounts of contacts, sorting them into Segments, and create tailored emails for specific groups. The scheduling ability is also a benefit as well as customizing of emails. The ability to reuse old messages is a great time-saver. The support team is very efficient and it's very easy to instantly contact them via chat and get all the necessary answers.

Icontact is simple and easy to use. What I like in this is I can easily distribute content via email to a list of subscribers, this software gives the ability to see opens and clicks, schedule emails for different day/times, and customize emails to meet what the customer needs . That is what I want in this software.

What I see that I don’t like while using this software is some of the content of dashboards are hard to navigate. And also hard to find see specific functions of every tools when creating email I’m also having trouble with the body of the email. Aside from that I don’t see any issues at the moment while using

Icontact in overall is good when it comes to marketing, keeping up with campaigns. Also I see this is easy to integrate with some Social Medias like Facebook and Twitter. iContact is really useful to anyone needing to reach a large number of people in an efficient manner.
