    The best scenarios would be email marketing campaigns such as eBlasts, Evites and newsletter/notifications. I believe Streamsend would be less appropriate for overall branding campaign and strategy.

    Well suited to campaigns and smaller task teams of less than 100. For these sizes, the group conversations work well, and the ability to search conversations and multimedia is perfect for finding previous information. For larger groups, information could very easily get lost, and requires a break-up into groups that would defeat the purpose of such a group chat.

    Pros
    Discontinued Products
    • Streamsend reports allows us to see who is opening our email blasts and it even pinpoints how many viewers then go onto look at our social media sites and website.
    • Streamsend allows you to go back and review past email blasts. This prevents me from creating marketing material similar to what I have done in the past.
    • The site shows you who's email address was undeliverable. This helps me to weed out any old e-mails or individuals who requested to block the blasts.

    • Populating your library with new tags is simple whether you're duplicating an existing tag or creating an entirely new one.
    • Creating the firing conditions for a tag.
    • Adding users to different groups with limited or full admin permissions.
    • If you know JavaScript, you shouldn't have an issue with assigning values to the proper variables once your data layer is set up for each page and/or action.

    • Placing quotes around variable names in the Tag Attributes, but not in the Event Handlers has caused me to mess up more than once.
    • Being able to search the account for all instances of certain text would be very helpful (e.g., search for s.eVar30 to find all places where I set that SiteCatalyst variable).

    The renewal process is easy and doesn't require much thought. Our accounting team already has Streamsend as an approved vendor. We are happy with Streamsend and how it works. Switching email systems would require training and a learning curve that will be difficult to schedule in a busy department. The quality and reliability of Streamsend is something our team and attorneys trust.

    Because of all of the previous benefits that I mentioned, GM has mandated that any DSP that we use for their campaigns must be integrated with BrightTag. Therefore we will have to use BrightTag for all future GM business

    Based on the features and current usage. It shows some buggy pages plus the service and support is really very slow. The updates are not regular and company needs to work on that. The usability is good and reporting of tags is accurate which is the best part. The pricing of the product is good and can be used by organizations of all sizes.

    Support is really slow and it takes days to resolve an issue. Plus we have to inquire regularly for the status of resolution. Company should definitely work towards that

    I do not like the Constant Contact interface at all, and find Streamsend to be a modern and suitable alternative to the popular MailChimp.

    Most of the tag solutions I've worked with were not nearly as robust. Most systems will let you load another tag not directly placed on the site, but none provide all the different firing levers that BT does

    Return on Investment
    Discontinued Products
    • I saw an impact on our ROI when using Streamsend for our weekly newsletters, since we used them as a redirect back to our website for new business
    • The only negative impact I can think of would be the loss of some our registrants through our email database. Some thought that we sent out Eblasts and newsletters to frequently.
    • It did help with faster lead conversion as we saw higher traffic and visitors to our website through direct click-through from our email campaigns

    • Wonderful for ensuring we meet our logistical and record-keeping requirements
    • Negative at being the best at quality-of-life options, like specific muting
    • Great at allowing a casual work environment in having chats for memes, pets, etc.
