It's a great platform if you're looking for something to run contests that provide leads and drive user engagement, but if they also incorporated social media management and scheduling, Wishpond would be a 10 by far. It's definitely worth looking into specifically for running contests throughout the year, for a wide variety of companies and industries.

Very small learning curve, thanks to wonderful real-time tutorials and help, and drag-and-drop editors.
Easy to navigate - there are only 3 main sections of the site (content, lists, and emails).
Excellent customer service. I've always gotten prompt answers to any questions I've had.
