    Cordial has multiple options to create a message: single campaign, automation, orchestration and sculpt templates, which are drag-and-drop type functionalities but each of these blocks are based on HTML content so a user needs to be technically savvy. I would avoid using HTML includes as it is not possible to see which include a customer received. The team is fabulous, they know the tool and are dedicated to the success of the business. They are quick to respond and provide feedback. Reporting and analytics are very manual if you are combining multiple days in a test.

    If people are regularly sharing your product favorably across social media, this tool will help you automate, segment and display that social content across websites, emails and events. Products as big as destinations can benefit from Stackla all the way down to merchandise such as clothing. Stackla can not benefit your product if your product is not very visual or if people aren't talking about your product.

    Cons
    Cordial
    • Some of the tasks on the platform are still technical in nature and often requires the help of a developer or technical marketer. But I've witnessed great strides towards accessibility and ease of use for non-technical marketers over the past three years.
    • A lot of the templating must be built from scratch.
    • Deliverability insights (out of the box) could be expanded further.

    • The UI can generally be confusing, and there are roughly four steps with detailed settings that don't feel intuitive to create one widget.

    Minimal experience with CrowdRiff, but the user interface is generally a little more friendly. Stackla was chosen after a thorough R&D process and the potential to partner with our company and industry.

    • In some situations, including Stackla event walls in a sponsorship package has increased our bottom line for an event we plan.
    • Stackla saves you quite a bit of time when creating social media albums to display on your website.
