Merkury by Merkle vs. Opensend

Opensend is great for anyone who is driving paid traffic to their site and looking to drive incremental revenue, if you have a meaningful amount of traffic coming to your website from paid media or press, i would recommend it. If you don't have a lot of traffic to your site, it might not be as valuable

Incentivized

• Captures high quality leads
• Easy to use platfrom
• Seamless integration with common CRM platforms
• Easy to get started
• Good customer service/account managers

• Their algorithm for profile engagement could be improved. Sometimes the overall engagement of profiles sent from Opensend is rather low (to be expected). They've been great about resolving that problem, so it's really a non-issue.

The platform is pretty straightforward, and when we do need help, the Opensend team is very knowledgeable and helpful from the get-go. They really want you to succeed with their service. Opensend is also consistently innovating and adding new features taking into account customer feedback. We are looking forward to taking advantage of some of the newer tools, specifically the new postal tool being rolled out. That will work really well for our customer base.

Opensend is a set-it-and-forget-it money making machine that runs 24/7 in the backend. If we really wanted to, we could have just installed it and forgotten about it, but once we started seeing the results we realized we could be doing a lot more with this tool. Thankfully Opensend has that same approach and mindset for their own product and that's a major factor for why we have stayed with them.

• ROI expanded beyond the channel as it also reduced our remarketing costs and optimized our ads
