A must-have digital marketing tool for agencies
Pros
- It is incredibly easy to set up a campaign. They have dozens of templates that already look great, based on different goals or types, such as downloading an eBook, purchasing a product, an alert message, etc. You really just need to brand it to your liking. Adjustments are easy, too, as everything is drag and drop.
- The options for display rules are also incredible, too, especially if you use WordPress. Show campaigns on specific devices, pages, post types, or categories, and trigger campaigns based on exit intent, time on site, time on page, scroll depth, if they have or haven't seen it before, and many many more.
- OptinMonster also does a great job of helping their community. Their support team is very responsive and helpful, you can get access to an inner circle Facebook group of other users to learn best practices and they have OptinMonster University to learn how to use the platform better and learn strategies for digital marketing in general.
Cons
- Analytics is probably the area for the biggest improvement. Other than showing how the number of visitors, number of conversions, and conversion rate, there isn't much else to the native analytics. It would be nice to see campaign metrics side by side. Otherwise, you have to view one campaign at a time. In the history of conversions graph, it doesn't overlay website traffic or show how the conversion rate has changed over time.
- The only other area that may use improvement is their capable integrations. There are a few that are not provided, such as Kartra and Salesforce.
Return on Investment
- For several clients that we have implemented OptinMonster for, we have had a significant increase in leads, which keeps our clients happy and we retain the business.
- Campaigns are quick to set up, so it saves us significant time versus having to go to a web developer to build pop-ups or web forms. We can add something that goes "on top" of the website and turn it on and off with ease or change display rules to adjust how we want to use it.
