BombBomb vs. GUDSHO

BombBomb is great for direct, individually-sent emails where you want to custom the email, particularly with a video message. BombBomb is not the best mass email tool that I have seen on the market. In my experience, they penalize you when people unsubscribe, even if they NEED to be receiving your emails. We have people who unsubscribe and then miss info they need for work. That's not our fault. But, in our experience, BombBomb displays that we are not a good company to mass email because of it.

Businesses looking to host, distribute, and track video content for brand awareness will find Gudsho highly beneficial.
Features like custom branding, analytics, and video embedding make it ideal for running marketing campaigns across multiple platforms.

• I like BombBomb's animated GIF preview of our video content. I think it's definitely more attention-grabbing than traditional email.
• BombBomb's automation tools are simple and easy to use. You can program a series of emails to go out X number days following the previous one and at a certain point in time.
• BombBomb's email builder is also pretty easy to use, once you get the hang of it. (If you've used other email tools, Constant Contact, MailChimp, etc. --- this one should be a snap.)

• Fitness creators find GUDSHO beneficial due to its niche-oriented audience. The platform's focus on health and wellness encourages engagement from users genuinely interested in fitness content

• We've found it's better with existing relationships than as an outbound campaign.
• Deliverability - We serve markets that might be a little more strict with regards to deliverability.
• Chrome extension - it was awful and took up so much of the inbox that we've uninstalled it completely.

• I occasionally experienced video loading delays that I feel can be improved. Although it takes a bit of time, the videos eventually load

As said before, the usability is very straightforward and the customization options are good enough to get the job done. There is a mobile app to help with real-time engagement so that is useful too. They offer plenty of training and best practices to make sure you are getting the most out of BombBomb.

It’s like the iPhone of video platforms. It’s intuitive enough for interns and powerful enough for CMOs. The analytics dashboard alone replaced the three paid tools that we were using to track our videos

Overall it's very easy to use and the video emails stand out. Everything loads quickly and they make it easy to set up. It features CRM-like functionality to view opens, clicks, time watched, etc., but it doesn't port that info over to your existing CRM which is where some of the friction occurs. Still, it's amazing for what it does. I recommend giving it a try for our outreach.

A few times over the years I have asked for features to be added to BombBomb and I am amazed at how fast they can implement. Zapier integration is a perfect example. They implemented the connection to Zapier within 30 days of my feature request. It took a much larger company, Keller Williams Realty over 10 years to implement the same request.

I believe my customer service director looked into a couple of other companies before deciding on BombBomb and I know the Outlook integration was a big deal. I think they really liked how easy the program is to use too.

We have evaluated several video hosting platforms like vimeo, wistia and zoom. But GUDSHO hit the sweet spot for us, a platform that lets us host, edit, embed, market, share and much more. This was our budget friendly option with so much features that helped us to save up by eliminating the use of six different tools. It’s seamless social sharing and detailed analytics makes it the clear choice for our business needs.

• Overall, I think BombBomb has given us a positive ROI on our email marketing efforts. I don't have numbers to support that claim, but it's more affordable and better positioned for what we needed to do than many other tools out in the marketplace. If you need to differentiate your email, the video component is a great way to go.
