Emarsys is well suited for any company with an established list of contacts and an interest in email marketing. It's easy to manage, scalable, and has plenty of customization features to make your emails your own. If you're ever stuck, the responsive customer service team will help you out. I recommend Emarsys for medium to large size companies.

I could not begin to think of a situation where marketing
automation is not appropriate, particularly for small and medium-sized
businesses that often times are challenged with fewer resources. Lead
generation, customer acquisition, conversion, and reselling all require the
consistency and fluidity that marketing automation can provide. For Capitol
Corridor, we are limited by the capacity of our trains, so we cannot oversell. By
doing so, we would lose business. And we’ve leveraged marketing automation to
help us manage our train capacity as well as create transparency in our service
available to help close deals successfully.

Emarsys is the email specialist service giver for our whole association. We use it to send custom and mass messages to our clients across three distinct business divisions. Email advertising is one of our greatest income driving channels due to focusing on limitations from deals regions. We can arrive at our clients through email with pertinent data and advancements, all driving income for the business. I have not used any other product marketing automation services.

Zoho has a good price point. I would encourage that the add-on pricing be less aggressive.
