    Pendula
    We used Pendula as part of our re-engagement program. This was valuable, as we were able to connect with 40,000 or more names. Knowing that either a significant telesales team effort--too expensive and not enough people--would be implausible. We designed an interactive SMS journey that allowed us to begin the process of taking the 40.000 and discovering those who were willing to shop with us again automatically. We also found that promotions and blasts worked really well, were very easy to set up and run, and then the automation on the back to create the Salesforce opportunity. We have also engaged with custom objects and were able to trigger events on internal activities and sales status, such as shipping notifications.

    PlaybookUX is fabulous for ad-hoc tests with small budgets, but can also scale up to larger projects easily. I've recommended the tool to several people and they love it, too!

    Pros
    Pendula
    • EOFY campaigns that drove limited time, limited release offers. We could segment our targets and engage those most likely to respond well.
    • Limited release wine offers, again targeting the right buyers, and then designing a series of interactions with them. This enabled sales reps to speak to those most warm.
    • Customer re-engagement. We have very many historical customers. We were able to reach 30,000 or so people and then lead them through several steps towards re-engagement.
    • Targeting smaller customer segments was made easy due to the deep integration with Salesforce. We could create campaigns to account owners of contacts that met criteria--which provided a deeply personal experience.

    Cons
    Pendula
    • Navigating a variety of journeys can get tricky. They have been steadily improving the interface here.
    • Managing launch times and turning campaigns on and off can be cumbersome.
    • Naming, tagging, and cross-journey reporting would be great.

    • With other testing platforms, I can update my profile, but I'm not sure how to do it with PlaybookUX.
    • It would be nice to have a login location where I can see my available tests.
