    Very well suited for those getting started with SMS campaigns. It was easy for everyone on our team to pick up and get going without a lot of training. If you have mobile number lists in the hundreds of thousands I can see how it would be tough to manage with the lists, keywords, etc. I could be wrong as we are not in that space but that would be my assumption.

    If you have a large or small blog following/audience, this is an excellent tool to help keep readers engaged and on top of your new content releases. You can also utilize this product for automated DRIP campaigns that will, following a schedule you create, notify users at preset intervals to help nurture your leads or existing customers as part of your sales funnel. Even new bloggers with smaller audiences can utilize a tool like this to help generate more consistent web traffic to your content. I am averaging a +16% clickthrough rate regularly on my RSS to push notifications after just a few months of use.

    • Easy-to-use admin system; even non-technical team members could understand what to do without training.
    • Flexibility of configuration and visual previews of what the alert experience would be like made it easy explain options before implementation
    • Segment system and API gave us enough control to serve notifications in the right language, which was important for our multi-lingual website

    Cons
    SlickText
    • Easy to find resources for short codes
    • The current automation is nice for beginners but it's not terribly sophisticated for experienced users
    • Minimal integrations to this point but I'm sure more are on the way

    • I can tell they are based somewhere on the other side of the world, so when it's middle of the day here in the USA, they aren't always very responsive.
    • There have been a couple hiccups with billing issues that mainly stemmed from them not having an internal billing system, but had it outsourced to another company.

    Very easy to use. Intuitive website that our entire team has been able to quickly pick up. In my opinion it is the most user friendly interface of all the software we did demos with.

    Their support staff are experts who are beyond helpful! I needed support with a certificate issue, after migrating one of our sites from HTTP to HTTPS, They handled it and helped very effectively, absolutely loved the cooperation. They saved me a lot of time with guiding me over the issues and I didn't needed to search on forums and read technical documentation on my own.

    Alternatives Considered
    SlickText
    We felt SlickText was the most user friendly, budget friendly, and we liked the fact that they didn't balk at the fact we wanted to go month to month to start so we didn't end up in a long term commitment right out of the gate.

    Return on Investment
    SlickText
    • We are receiving a click through rate anywhere between 12-20% on our renewal reminder texts
    • Those people who click have a conversion rate of around 50% which is the best of any of the campaigns we run
    • One negative could be if we start to use the tool for promotional texts then there may be a negative impact on the member experience. Need to use it in moderation

    • More return. In general the people who sign like the notifications and usually return.
    • Organic growth. The list of subscribers increase over time, so is a well worth the investment.
    • It's a bit expensive, so the ROI at the beginning is not the expected because the cost.
