Usability

Soffront and why I use it

Pros

  • The email marketing platform is wonderful. It allows for tracking and you can do AB testing with it as well.
  • Landing page and form placement with other companies have also been easy. Regardless of website or landing page that you use the forms integrate and you get an email notification whenever a new lead is added to the database.
  • The overall layout of the CRM is also nice to use. You can open up different tabs with information on and then go back to a previous tab without having to use the browser controls. It makes navigating and comparing information very easy to do.

Cons

  • I do not like the log-in page. Whenever I go the Soffront site I get a pop-up asking me not to leave. It is a bit pushy when all I want to do is log into my account.
  • The social media integration feature they have is not particularly useful. There are other companies that do a far better job of posting to SM for me.

Return on Investment

  • The software has been positive for especially on the email marketing side. I have seen about a 23% increase in revenue and new contacts by using the email marketing feature.
  • The landing page and form integration has averaged me about 20 new leads a month for my business which is plenty to keep us busy and on track for growth of the business.
