Chose Constant Contact
Much easier to use than Vertical Response, a little less easy to use than Emma but also much simpler to customize
AWeber, Emma Mail, Mail Chimp and Infusion Soft to name a few. They weren't from my opinion easy to use, not as user-friendly as Constant Contact, had a greater learning curve, did not have many templates or automatic A/B testing. No survey feature. …
Constant Contact and MailChimp do not offer a white label option so they were out of the running early on for us. Campaigner does offer white labeling but their pricing is outrageously higher than Emma, their customer service isn't nearly as good and their tool isn't as …
Why I chose Emma over Constant Contact: I felt like I got lost in the sea of people/customers at Constant Contact... plus I felt like their own email marketing messages that they sent weren't very good... in an essence they weren't practicing what they preached well.
Emma is night and day difference from Constant Contact in terms of customer support, feature set, and usability. It is so much better and more affordable. Emma is a step down in feature set and functionality from Pardot, Marketo, or HubSpot, but if you are a company that is not …
Our internal competitors are the individual email platforms our stores have signed up for. In general, they need to take our HTML and upload it themselves, making Constant Contact and MailChimp very cumbersome. Emma, on the other hand, allows us to take charge of that. Users …
At the time we made the decision to move to Emma, my organization was using both MailChimp and Constant Contact. Emma's drag-and-drop template editor surpassed both, and even editing the pre-made template HTML in Emma was easier. List management was much smoother than the …
Mail Chimp: the price was better, but the platform was not predictable. You did not get the same support with MailChimp. Constant Contact: This is an outdated system that does not make it easy to design modern, clean emails and I consider it a dinosaur.
We moved away from Constant Contact because of the reputation it was starting to get with not auditing its domain and not providing us with the best possible brand reputation and also because we just didn't get the analytics we wanted to improve our process. With Emma, we can …
MailChimp seems to offer more customizable options than Emma, but Emma is far less buggy. I used Constant Contact while working with another nonprofit organization and did not anything about it.
Emma is a step up from Constant Contact and two steps up from Mailchimp. Emma is affordable and easy to use for all types of companies, but especially for smaller firms and startups. It’s in compliance with SPAM laws, but has an advanced platform to keep your emails from going …
Emma had a more robust multi-level account structure which empowered individual locations to participate at the ground-level. Additionally corporate was able to maintain oversight, template creation, marketing automation, and data reporting. The goal is to provide the locations …
Emma is the easiest to use platform I've tried so far. It was easy to setup and send the first enewsletter. The functionality is very user friendly and it "makes sense" as you go through to add content and users. It's made being a marketing team of one very efficient.
Emma was the perfect solution for what we were looking for due to its easy to use interface, relatively low cost and basic functionality. We were not looking for expensive, complex tools to send out multiple campaigns with various controls and tests. We also were impressed with …
We chose Emma because at the time we didn't need a full marketing automation platform like Pardot or Marketo and just wanted an easy to use, well priced email communications tool that integrated with our CRM Salesforce.
