    What I have found to be the most critical for my business as a customer of Thryv is the ability to provide an invoice and accept payment with direct linking to my bank account. This has had a dramatic positive impact on my cash flow.

    • Offer an automated rewards program for my customer based on their spending and their referrals.
    • Since I use Shopify and they host me it would be nice to get a financial break for not using that part of the package.
    • Maybe providing apps.

    It is very easy to use and the features are great for the ones we utilize. If you have any issues at all, customer service or our sales rep is great to work with and fixes what issues I have. They are always willing to help out and to follow up to make sure you don't have any more issues.

    Although getting through to the right person may take a while, they have the ability to take over your screen and always assist with whatever you need.

    I use both SimplyCast and Act-On. Act-On ties in with our database, I use SimplyCast in order to send e-mails that don't look exactly like our other e-mails

    Let's say use this software because it gives a lot of benefits to the company and we no other software use do not.

    • Increased Social Media Presence has kept us in touch with clients
    • I believe our overall package has resulted in increased web traffic. More clients are finding us through social media and web searches than any other year before.
