Blueshift vs. Printfection

I think Blueshift is well suited as a CRM. It does a great job handling the customer information that you need, placing it, and displaying it in one concise place. They could do better in regards to being forthcoming with information. Documentation is weak, and depending on who you speak with on the support team, they may have different answers to the problem you're having. In my experience, there are a lot of inconsistencies in how they think about reporting, that someone who's been in marketing for the past 10-years, has to relearn and rethink how we share data for KPIs.

I think they're a great solution if you're looking for a vendor to work with you on branded swag. We had a rush order for our customer advisory committee and we're so last minute on ordering, and Printfection really hit it out the park with identifying the items we could get quickly and helping us order ASAP to get the items in-hand with less than 2 weeks turnaround. Primary use cases I would 10/10 recommend Printfection for: Storing branded swag Designing branded swag (multi-color, edgy designs - not your standard logo on a hat) Custom swag packs / branded swag boxes Enabling sales/CS teams to ship custom swag packs to prospects and customers Out of the box swag items (if you can dream it, they can source it)

• Customer Segments + Recommendations Tool - Blueshift and has helped with automating and personalizing our retargeting efforts. The true value of Blueshift was realized when we could launch triggered marketing campaigns targeted to specific segments based on a user's behavior onsite, and deliver relevant personalized content using the AI-based Recommendations tool.
• Integration with Segment and other apps
• Retargeting with dynamic content pulled from data feeds / catalogs

• Getting started, it took me a bit to navigate the various features of their platform as well as a few calls to customer support to help me find my way but after some practice I was able to navigate and found that the platform is pretty intuitive.

We're not in the mood to start this process over at this time. A lot of hard work went into it.

I have worked mostly with [...] and some with [...], and they have been instrumental in helping me find the perfect swag items, and have also helped in my learning curve to use the Printfection order process for new items and the shipping process.

It was a live walkthrough and pretty straightforward.

Very simple and quick. Pretty sure it was a matter of setting up our accounts and a few quick walkthrough meetings to ensure we were implemented to our preferences.

Customer has a better UX/UI but Blueshift's capabilities are far stronger. The price is also more interesting considering what it does. Blueshift doesn't have certain integrations that are useful for startups (like Slack) but it's something that they should be having soon. Social media interconnection is also a step in the right direction that Customer hasn't moved toward

There were a couple of reasons we selected Printfection: price and contract/level of commitment (we are on a month-to-month plan). To be honest, there are products that integrate better with Salesforce and have more capabilities but we were looking for something that didn't require us to sign a year contract and was a reasonable price. After purchasing, we are extremely impressed with their team and consider this a huge benefit of going with Printfection.

Simple pricing and easy to pitch to stakeholders

Great to be able to have different departments working on the same system.

There aren't many professional services besides what is related to their product. What would have been great was to get design services included in our membership since we dont have one in house

• Blueshift has had a tremendous impact on our email marketing KPIs. The AI-based approach and Recommendations tool has led to increased engagement.

• Previously we had a "welcome" kit for certain new customers with custom packaging and great messaging. It was very successful in helping kick off a new customer relationship.
• If the platform was integrated with our CRM we'd have more metrics to be able to measure ROI.
