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.

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.

We use Listrak to send cart abandonment emails, welcome emails, and sales emails. We also use the segmentation tool to find specific customers if we are looking for feedback on new products or specific issues. This has been a great way to reach out to them in a very personalized way.

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

The focus Listrak has on e-commerce was a huge selling point. The price-point and easy installation were another attraction. The product is simple, clean, effective, and encompasses everything we need to be successful. It was a clear winner for us.

  • Ability to execute dynamic content & intricately segmented email campaigns has made a hugely positive impact on our marketing capabilities while maintaining a large database.
  • Listrak does cost slightly more than its competition, therefore making me (the consumer) look a little harder at our ROI since implementing Listrak as our primary digital marketing platform. All-in-all, it is safe to say that Listrak has definitely had a positive impact on our overall business goals of creating campaigns that increase customer engagement, click-thru rates, and most importantly conversions.
