If you have a small business and are selling services, products, etc I think Flodesk is fantastic! It's clean, has great design, is easy to use and integrate with other software, and most importantly, it makes setting up marketing funnels and getting paid a breeze!

LocaliQ is phenomenal at s multichannel marketing approach. It is incredibly effective and efficient to run all of these simultaneous campaigns through one company. As a small nonprofit, we would not have been able to have the reach LocaliQ gave us if we had opted to use multiple companies. It would have been too much for our staff to handle.

  • ThriveHive is a smaller marketing team dedicated to helping small to medium sized businesses perfect their marketing messages. ThriveHive is particularity good at understanding how Google, and other search engines work, and have been instrumental in helping my company to grow and evolve.
  • With ThriveHive, you get a dedicated coach who is matched to your type of business. This experience with similar businesses gives your coach a better understanding of your business and the challenges your company faces.
  • My coach is very good at responding to my needs within 1 to 2 business days. Email contacts are fluent and as often as I need, to discuss ideas or questions. I can only speak of my relationship with my coach, and I am very pleased.
  • I feel that ThriveHive makes every effort to take excellent care of their clients, and makes you feel like you are their most important customer. I definitely believe that this is one of ThriveHives' greatest assets.

Cons
  • Being able select a link within Flodesk - for instance when setting up a sign up form or waitlist and wanting it to lead directly to the sales page or checkout next.
  • Improved brand kit settings where you don't have to reset the font every single time.
  • Default footer settings would be amazing!

  • The email content editor could use some additional bells and whistles, it cannot handle some more advanced functions, but for the basics it is more than adequate.
  • Options for website creation are a bit limited and the turnaround time can be a bit lengthy at times because of the volume they do.
  • Tracked phone lines can be a bit pricey, but not exorbitant.

Usability
I love Flodesk - I think it's very easy to learn/use and unlike most other email software, it's biggest benefit is being able to build sales pages, checkouts, waitlists, etc. in addition to email newsletters.

Overall usability pretty good. If we would have gotten better return on our advertising dollar I would have continued with them - their dashboard was very easy to use and the recaps they provided were helpful. They try to put data in bite-sized pieces for the client that are understandable (unlike google's reporting page itself which can be a bit difficult to understand at times). Their team was friendly, semi-responsive, and provided explanations when requested

Alternatives Considered
I selected Flodesk because it has the most important features available of the similar products listed but is way more cost-effective and user-friendly. Plus, their designs/aesthetics are great!

LocaliQ is more economical that marketing agencies we've used in the past. Our dollar goes farther. We've also used services from phonebook providers that were getting into the online advertising field. At the time, it was just being introduced so the reps knowledge on the topic was quiet limited.

  • Local print advertising enhanced our community presence and strengthened brand loyalty.
  • The automation of PPC and display campaigns has saved our marketing team at least 15-20 hours per week of work monitoring campaigns.
  • Service fees feel steep for the campaigns we run, especially for a business with constrained budgets.
