    It is great for low-cost, high-volume mail campaigns for our agents. The price is very reasonable, and they can send out a lot. Once the design is approved and they send a list, we handle it, then Lob. When we have agents who want to handwrite the addresses, we choose someone else (a local print shop) to print and send them to our agents.

    Cons

    Lob
    • An automatically scheduled data export would be nice.
    • Functions such as adding or editing bank accounts, updating check details, and querying data require knowledge of the specific code and API infrastructure. It would be nice to do these things without being an engineer trained in their specific interface language.
    • They reduced their retention period on their interface to like 3 months, which is not ideal.

    • Navigation -Took time to find custom hyper links.
    • Finding items - Can be hard to find where items are on platform.
    • Layout could be better.

    Overall, Lob performs well for standard mailing needs and has helped streamline day-to-day processes. However, there are unique situations in the insurance industry that may require additional flexibility or capacity beyond their current model. Automation of certain state-required letters or follow-ups is something we wish we could perform.

    Root keeps Lob because it is already deeply integrated into our systems, and replacing it would require significant engineering effort with limited expected cost savings. As well as the unknowns that come with other options, switching vendors would likely require a significant multi-quarter effort without clear cost savings or efficiency gains.

    Postal.io was a more budget-friendly option than the alternatives I considered. We knew our gifting budget wouldn't be huge so we were willing to go with something less established in order to make sure we had as much budget left over as possible. We also like the flexibility with Postal.io that we could add almost anything to their marketplace if we could find it available online.

    • The hard part is that the agents mostly see the returns over us, so I don't know the specific numbers.
    • Some agents have great responses; others not as much. Or they get 75% of their mailers returned, and we don't know why.
