Demandforce vs. rasa.io

We use Demandforce to reach out to 'old' customers. If they have not had an invoice generated in X number of days/weeks/months/years, we can create a custom campaign via email/text to reach out to them and attempt to re-engage with those customers to generate new 'existing business' or entirely new leads for our Sales team to run.

For a small business wanting a way to send an affordable, weekly e-newsletter, rasa.io can't be beaten.

• Aesthetics has been updated in last few months for organization and is easier to see: colors, grid lines on front page, and font style.

• Cannot be edited easily from a tablet or mobile device. Desktop is needed
• You have to be very precise when toggling articles or you'll hyperlink to another page
• Would like to see more robust integration with Keap - specifically the ability to work with contact tags to add or remove recipients from the distribution list

We are constantly being contacted by comparable organizations. If Mindbody Online integrated a feature like Demandforce, we'd move over there to keep everything in one platform.

I do not have any alternative products to compare this service too. It was in place when I came aboard this company and I have no say in its continuation or replacement. As from what I can gather, there are many alternatives to this platform, but Demandforce is the only one I am aware of that runs in your system tray and is passively ran in conjunction with your accounting database.

• It's taken a lot of the reporting and guesswork out of the equation. That has saved us a lot of money.

• We get comments weekly about how much recipients like the newsletter
• There's no solid way to accurately calculate ROI but we've noticed an uptick in the number of long-term nurture prospects that have become clients. All receive the rasa newsletter.
