Considered Both Products
Listrak
Chose Listrak
The Bronto platform is so similar to Listrak in that it made no sense for us to move unless there were significant cost savings (there weren't). We are so intertwined with Listrak that it would be painful to move for the sake of moving. Klaviyo is very DIY which can be great. …
Chose Listrak
Listrak offered more products than Bronto did at the time we evaluated, and we wanted all the alerts and email series products to use.
Chose Listrak
The service is overpriced compared to competitors, and the service is very hard to set up and integrate with our Shopify store. You think they would want to integrate more seamlessly with the largest e-commerce platform on the market. After working with them for several years, …
Chose Listrak
Klaviyo and MailChimp have better integrations with Shopify and seem to be targeted more to the small business. Listrak is definitely better suited for a mid-tier business, but they will help you get there.
Chose Listrak
The focus Listrak has on e-commerce was a huge selling point. The price-point and easy installation were another attraction. The product is simple, clean, effective, and encompasses everything we need to be successful. It was a clear winner for us.
Chose Listrak
I've been using programs like Listrak for several years. Many times the needs from clients have been on a smaller scale, so options like MailChimp and ConstantContact have provided the necessary service levels. However, if you're looking at merging effectively with an eCommerce …
Chose Listrak
This is the first subscription list service we have used so we don't have much to compare it to. We have no complaints about the software or the service they provide. They have been very easy to work with and fast to respond to questions on our account.
Chose Listrak
Listrak stands out from the listed companies for a variety of reasons, but there are 3 main areas that make Listrak my go to platform.
1. Superior control over your Database & Lists
2. Excellent deliverability rate for businesses that possess a large database.
Chose Listrak
Stronger in business to consumer and online retail email marketing. Better user interface. Better reporting functions.
ReachMail
Chose ReachMail
A lot of the content syndication vendors can produce the same leads and tactics, so not much to say on how they are different. I do keep going back to ReachMail though because I have built a relationship with my CSM, so that helps establish trust and partnership.
Chose ReachMail
In my opinion, ReachMail is a good competitor to MailChimp, probably has more features though and analytics to help organize information. There are also a lot more third party integrations that have helped us compared to other apps that we've tried before, but ReachMail has …
Chose ReachMail
In the past I researched Constant Contact and not only were they more expensive but gave little support for setting up your email.
Chose ReachMail
In the past I've used both Salesforce and QuotaFactory (now defunct) to send mass emails and both are far superior in presentation, if not functionality. Reachmail is probably fine when you have graphical content but for text emails it just doesn't stack up. I'll look into …
Chose ReachMail
Constant Contact: Program marketing dollars disallowed when organization was absorbed by another entity, so Reachmail's free account was chosen to replace for localized target audiences. Constant Contact is visually more appealing and has more ready-to-use templates, but …
Chose ReachMail
We use both reachmail and exact target for email deployment. Reachmail is easier to use for uploading lists and sending emails but exact target is better for reporting.
Chose ReachMail
Exact Target is preferable for batch jobs, including custom reporting, as well as list organization and folder trees, but I enjoy the ReachMail experience better overall. ReachMail generally has a faster interface; it's easier to implement personalization, and ReachMail can use …
Chose ReachMail
I didn't select Reachmail, it was already in place when I was hired. However, in all honesty, I think Reachmail is comparable to MailChimp.

Likelihood to Recommend
We use Listrak to send cart abandonment emails, welcome emails, and sales emails. We also use the segmentation tool to find specific customers if we are looking for feedback on new products or specific issues. This has been a great way to reach out to them in a very personalized way.

I think it is well suited for running a series of campaigns that have variations in subject lines and content. The interface is easy to utilize when making copies and variations of previously built email blasts, as well as organizing them into proper folders and determining metrics of each campaign. The reporting tool delivers very useful metrics, but the lack of options for pulling reports hurts the overall experience. It would be great if ReachMail were to give the user more options in determining reporting, such as a range of dates, a range of campaigns, all campaigns sent that contain "X and Y" assets, and so forth, all while giving the user the ability to download reports individually, or by group

  • I have a $10 account, but customer support treat me like a princess. They even added a feature to one page to remedy a problem I was having with that page. They care about their customers.
  • ReachMail Features (or at least, these are the ones I know they have): WYSIWYG Email Editor, Template Management, Mobile Optimized Emails, Dynamic Content, Subscribe/Unsubscribe, Mailing List Management, Drip Campaigns, Auto-Responders, Image Library, A/B Testing, Customer Surveys, CAN SPAM Compliance, Reporting/Analytics.
  • These folks know what they’re doing. I can’t speak highly enough about ReachMail.

Constant Contact:
Program marketing dollars disallowed when organization was absorbed by another entity, so Reachmail's free account was chosen to replace for localized target audiences. Constant Contact is visually more appealing and has more ready-to-use templates, but Reachmail has larger contact base, bigger graphic and doc storage capacity than did the paid Constant Contact account.
MailChimp:
MailChimp's drag and drop template designer is easier to use than Reachmail's formatting tools. Reachmail was not selected by this client in lieu of MailChimp.

Return on Investment
  • Ability to execute dynamic content & intricately segmented email campaigns has made a hugely positive impact on our marketing capabilities while maintaining a large database.
  • Listrak does cost slightly more than its competition, therefore making me (the consumer) look a little harder at our ROI since implementing Listrak as our primary digital marketing platform. All-in-all, it is safe to say that Listrak has definitely had a positive impact on our overall business goals of creating campaigns that increase customer engagement, click-thru rates, and most importantly conversions.
