The product can be returned if I don't like it without wasting the entire product. Business administrators can use it to make a perfect and appropriate purchase without missing a thing. A lot of the products sell out in seconds and the next batch comes a week later.

I don't have much to add here as I haven't needed team support. I do know our access to customer service is limited with the type of account that we have.

We selected IZEA because of the price. We wanted a platform that would cost less than the one we were currently using.

Sampler offered a more cost-effective and efficient option for us to do digital sampling and the base of subscribers looks wider comparing other service providers. If Sampler can provide more services that others are offering such as apps or more in-depth subscriber's behavioral studies, Sampler will be the only choice for us.
