Following $6 million in series A funding from FirstMark Capital and others in 2013, the rapidly growing company along with its rapidly and broadly adopted product known as TriggerMail became Bluecore. But its function is as it was before the rebrand: an ecommerce focused trigger marketing product that uses email to retarget vacillating or distracted customers and grow online sales.

If you have an e-commerce site with a large number of diverse products and a customer base made up of many different customer personas, then Bluecore is perfect. Our visitors are very unique, and we cannot market to each in with the same broad approach. Bluecore makes it possible to craft messaging that speaks to each as individuals.

It's ideal for testing continuous improvements in user experience - we're achieving good results from A/B testing and multivariate testing, and tracking the impact is very slick and compelling. We currently don't have any Dynamic Yield integrations set up for our app due to the complexities involved. We are also unable to track user behavior on platforms nested outside our domain (such as CTAs on our site that link to external booking engines).

  • The impact (either positive or negative) of potentially overlapping campaigns, especially the UX personalization or custom code campaigns, may not be easily identifiable.
  • It would make more sense for the new deep-learning and machine learning (ML) driven strategies be made part of the standard offering, as opposed to positioning them as add-on subscription, given that many other completing services are baking in ML as part of their platform evolution.
  • The documentation on the API and custom code implementation can be fleshed out further.

Usability

Overall, the interface is not difficult to understand. Although to create campaigns or define strategies for recommendations, some study is required.
Also, some reports are hidden, you really need to know where to look in order to see them (e.g. strategies performance or email campaigns performance).
Also, there is a lack of context help that would improve a lot the usability, especially when you face a feature or a report for the first time.

Bluecore is much more modern than Bronto; it also provides deeper analysis and personalization aspects which enable us to really engage our subscribers. The personalization is the biggest advantage, showing us behavior and attributes. Plus, the functionality is much easier and quicker to work through and provides a much better user experience when needing to duplicate blocks or widgets

  • Dynamic Yield supports us in our CRO offering as our optimisation platform of choice - we are leveraging this tool heavily in the application of these services - allowing us an ongoing income stream.
  • Dynamic Yields adds value to our clients - we can confidently recommend DY's recommendations and AI as better than those that are offered "out of the box" within Shopify. As a Shopify Plus agency, leveraging this better technology is often a quick way in which we can show almost immediate value to new clients to improve their conversion rate and revenue per user.
