Cakemail vs. ReachMail

Sometimes creativity is lacking in me and that is where Cakemail comes in and saves the day. I am glad that I can receive creative help from this awesome brand. The pricing is very affordable, in my opinion. It makes this platform a no-brainer!

The free Reachmail account (which I have used for several small organizations) is a good tool where there are limited or zero email marketing dollars, a contact audience of up to 5,000 subscribers, and a max of 15,000 monthly emails. The pricing levels are really reasonable for volume requirements, including custom plans for infrequent mailings. If there are constraints (time and/or design experience) that require a large choice of ready-made contemporary templates without graphic or font modifications, then this probably isn't a good email marketing tool.

• Their templates are easy to use and visually appealing
• Visibility into our contact information is great

• The interface is very easy to use.
• The report offers a wide variety of metrics, including mobile opens and percentages.
• The organization and easy implementation of Suppression Lists is very helpful.
• Fast, robust asset library.

• An external package – like PHP support – Cake's component doesn't have that.
• I'd like to be able to view my user click rate and click frequency at the same time, to be able to compare it – they don't offer that.
• There's always room for improvement – but what Cakemail does well, it does very, very well.

• I like the tutorials they have helped figure most of my issues out
• The formatting text gave me lots of issues before I saw the tutorial it was a little complicated
• Not to many bad things to say really, even customer service is fast, maybe it could be faster?

Graphic and doc storage capabilities, formatting capabilities

I have used other email platforms before, but I think Cakemail is easier to use AND provides you with templates. For the other products I have tested out, you had to create your own templates from scratch. I like the ability to create from scratch, but on days where you lack the time or creativity, there are templates ready to go for you

In the past I've used both Salesforce and QuotaFactory (now defunct) to send mass emails and both are far superior in presentation, if not functionality. Reachmail is probably fine when you have graphical content but for text emails it just doesn't stack up. I'll look into other options now that I've tried Reachmail and see that is a terrible option for sales teams.

• Easily track the success of your email campaigns

• Using ReachMail saves me a lot of time, and time is money.
• When I have a question, I can usually reach their customer service immediately, instead of having to postpone a mailing campaign.
