Likelihood to Recommend If you want to use email to market to your customer base and you don't want to handle the weekly chore of creating and sending the emails, then TargetBay and in particular, Danielle is the way to go. If you are not interested in email marketing or you can take care of that in-house, then there may be better choices to handle your reviews. It is rare today to find a company as responsive and easy to work with as TargetBay.

Read full review Pros TargetBay has amazing chat support. TargetBay has a great onboarding process. TargetBay is very affordable compared to other programs that offer similar solutions. Read full review The cost for Offerpop was what drew me in. I got a lot of bang for my buck. Contests were easy to set up. Linking to products from user generated content was a plus. Read full review Cons There is always room for improvement, however, I find Target Bay to be cost effective. Read full review My role is mostly involved with social media analytics; measuring campaigns. Offerpop could improve in how they track views. I would like to see the number of views and unique views captured each day versus just the total number of views since the start of the campaign. For our Facebook sign up campaigns, I would like to see more reporting on the information captured in the form fields. For example: the total number of entries, unique entries, bounce rate (how many people viewed the form but didn't complete/submit it). In addition, I would like to see reporting on how some of our questions within the lead form were answered. The number of entrants who selected various options from our drop down lists.

I dont think the issues and concerns where addressed in detail before signing up and before launch
Read full review Usability TargetBay, while it is a great tool and more than pays for itself, is not the most user-friendly and/or easy to use. Even our very tech-savvy employees have struggled through figuring out some of the work flows. While TargetBay's technical support team on chat is amazing, they are not always available and documentation on "how-to" user and or do XYZ on their platform needs improvement.
Read full review Support Rating If I could rate their chat support separately than their phone support, I would rate their chat support at an 8 or 9. Their chat support team, when online, can usually answer most any questions quickly and clearly. If they can't find the answer right away, they always follow up with an email providing you the help/assistance you need. However, their phone support is another story. I would rate the phone support a 4. Most of the times, while not all of the time, that we've had to talk with someone on the phone, we typically are left with more questions and/or not the answer we were looking for. I think this may be partially due to the language barrier, but either way it has pushed us to want to only use that chat option for support which, unfortunately, is more time-consuming.
Read full review Alternatives Considered We have used other customer review services in the past. I did not have the level of involvement with them like I do with Danielle and TargetBay. Email marketing is a major plus. And the PPC ads have been cost-effective. I am pleased with TargetBay and the results we have been getting since working with them.
Read full review While Rafflecopter was free to use, I didn't like the bulky box that sat in the middle of our web pages. Wildfire rates were just too high to justify continuing to use them, especially as OfferPop interface was so simple and streamlined
Read full review Return on Investment We have seen a positive ROI with TargetBay. Once we get through Covid-19, it will be even better. I know we are communicating with our customers on a regular basis, keeping Sign Art Etc in their minds as in-person events start happening again. Emails we send are professional and creative. Much better than I would do. PPC with TargetBay is better than what we see with Google Ads. Read full review We've been able to execute more campaigns internally because of the cost saving. Increased fan acquisition. Engaging experiences for our current customers. Read full review ScreenShots
