Movable Ink vs. Unsplash for Brands

Movable Ink is great for broad sales in a company with locations all over. Much more difficult when you sell a very specific product that isn't necessarily always needed by consumers.

If someone is in a specific or super-niche industry, they may not find that Unsplash for Brands is a good option for them. I would say their site and their library of photographic images are a bit more general -- so if you need something stylized, it may not be the place for you.

• Personalization--Everyone likes to see their name in lights. Movable Ink allows you to pull in content such as their name, locations that are closest to them, and content they're actually interested in.
• Unique Features--Movable Ink provides a variety of apps that can plugged into emails to make the experience more unique and exciting, such as countdown timers, add to calendar features for events, maps, and social feeds.
• Tracking--Adding snippets of code to emails allow you to track data, such as opens, impressions, and clickthroughs. You can also track how individuals interact with specific pieces of the email.
• User Friendly--Easy to build within apps for those who aren't graphic designers.

• Provides beautiful natural and in action photos
• Provided royalty free imagery which is great for charities who have a budget or not budget for photography
• Photos are more stylistic and creative than traditional stock sites like Adobe, iStock, Shutterstock

• I think they could improve with how to provide strategic guidance to customers on applications and use cases. A lot of recommendations aren't applicable to new business models/scenarios
• Their transition to onsite/landing page use cases was somewhat effective but we ran into some hiccups with applying the technology onsite

Incentivized

• The layout and UX is not as friendly as many other similar platforms.
• Search engine could be improved.
• Bulk download would be wonderful.

I need to learn a little more about the product and its capabilities before I give a higher review. However, the availability of image trending is far superior to Getty or Getty Enterprise.

Movable Ink is the better product by far. They offer more solutions across multiple channels and their platform is easier to use and better organized.

There is one obvious major advantage to Pexels (and Unsplash really) in that the images are royalty-free. We can use them without fear of being sued afterward, and we don't even have to create an account, just download the image and it's ready to go. When it comes to Pexels' photos, you can photoshop words on them, but sometimes you don't want a photo designed for photoshopping, you just want a photo that's ready to use, such as Unsplash.

• Excellent for using photos for content creation, keeps things fresh yet still on brand for our program's needs
• Ease of use, directly implemented in the program to directly find an image without needing to leave the site
• Perfect since it's free!
