It Is My Belief That Wunderkind Only Cares About Their Investors

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We hired Wunderkind to help us improve the ROI of our exit intent pop-ups. In addition to having them take over pop-up design and implementation, they also took over email flows associated with the pop-ups (e.g. Pop-up promises a 20% off coupon. They were responsible for sending the coupon by email).

Pros

  • Sales

Cons

  • Support is awful
  • Management will not work with you to make things right
  • Tool is buggy. It went down for 50 hours during our Black Friday sale resulting in substantial amount of lost revenue.

Return on Investment

  • Loss substantial amount in estimated revenue from Black Friday sale issues
  • Loss substantial amount in brand equity due to Black Friday sale issues
