    If your target client or active client sells on Amazon it's a game changer. You will come to the table as a brand expert if you utilize search engine prior to client interaction. In sales and marketing, it's our go to tool. I use it to craft professional brand market share analysis as "lead magnet" with great success

    Vendasta is perfect for solo digital marketing agencies that are looking to scale up their business. I've already recommended them to several other marketers, and they profusely thanked me for doing so! As far as acquiring new customers, we've found Vendasta to be a perfect solution for businesses that do not have their own internal marketing department, typically SBAs that only have a Marketing Director, or even just the business owner who wears too many hats. When we've bumped into larger companies that already have their own marketing suite and software set up, then they're usually less interested in adopting our platform.

    • Their team is so large that sometimes I end up communicating with people who have no familiarity with BRN and our clients, so I end up having to repeat a lot of things to make sure we're on the same page.

    The usability continues to improve. Adding a true mobile app for client use would be a great next step.

    We utilize Keepa and Amazon Seller Central to help with our research and inhouse AI software to level the playing field. I start with SmartScout to qualify the brand. I also prepare for introductions and discovery calls with the tool. It has been a great help prior to trade shows to funnel the attendees to a solid target list

    I don't find anything in your listings that I have used. I have run ads myself. I have built websites myself. I have run email campaigns with other autoresponders myself. Vendasta beats all those.
