Comparison of Reporting & Analytics features of Product A and Product B
If you are a small business who just wants a passable service, this tool will suit you. It does have WYSIWYG tools to create emails and test sends are easy. It does a decent job of reporting too. If, however you are a larger company, I suggest you look elsewhere. There are plenty of other solutions that do this better (I liked My Emma from a previous position where we were doing small to medium sends) for less money and will actually provide decent customer service if you contact them
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.
Campaigner is just too bare-bones. When we first started using Campaigner close to a decade ago it was perfect for what it was. But nowadays Campaigner is missing several features that their competitors offer like exit intent and cart abandonment emails.
Campaigner has an astonishingly bad unsubscribe option. We have had many customers complain to us over the years that when they try to unsubscribe through the emails Campaigner sends, their unsubscribe does not go through.
Hard to change account settings such as changing our subscription plan. We had to call and were told to wait 24 hours just to make a small change to our account.
I can't see us not renewing unless we find something better. This is highly unlikely because there was a thorough research done for use to chose the best marketing client and it always came back to campaigner.
Great features but awful tech support experiences over five years of use. Some releases broke our workflows and Campaigner could never explain why. Our initial plan provided a designed client support contact. This individual changed frequently without notice and at one point they decided our plan no longer included a designated contact. Of course this was never communicated to us until we tried to reach out to the person. If you are tech savy this system might be for you but you'll be on your own.
Over five years I rarely had an interaction I was satisfied with. General tech support staff did not seem to be trained on anything but the basics of the system. They would open tech support tickets, give me a case # and then we would hear nothing. We still have open tickets from years ago. Software releases were never communicated. New features never announced. For an email marketing company they did not use email to communicate to me well at all. Every email I received was trying to sell me what I had already bought
Aweber - used this pre 2015. It did not provide a single opt in option. it allowed us to download our contact list into Excel but we could not re-upload any changes we made to cleanup or add to data. Campaign monitor - we did not like the user interface as well and as I recall it did not have a similar workflow feature.
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.
Campaigner has cost us valuable time in the times that customers had complained to us that their unsubscribe emails did not go through and we had to manually go into campaigners website and manually remove those emails.
Campaigner has offered an easy way for us to send marketing emails for quick and effective usage.
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.
