We use Xink for every client that has a team and wants to remain "on brand" with any email correspondence regardless with whatever device they are sending from, be it phone, tablet, laptop or desktop. We setup all our Xink instances so that it is "fully server side" which means the email signature is injected while in transit and appear correctly at the recipients end. It does get some getting used to when composing emails and there is no signature but a few tests create the confidence needed.

• I love the ease of list builder because we often times have a lot of data to import. It would be simply impossible without this tool, considering the amount of customer data we have for any one given email.
• We really enjoy the ease of use of the HTML wizard as well. It helps even a novice be able to make a beautiful and attention grabbing email.
• The dashboard is functional and easy to find when you need with a quick search.

• The type face is small. Not sure if this is to avoid overwhelming the reader, but I could see this being an issue with vision-impaired people or people who don't see small print well.
• Sometimes I find it takes multiple clicks to make one simple change. I wish there was a search field at the top of the screen that allowed me to jump directly to a client's entry to update it there.

• Email signature creator is a little cumbersome when working with tablets.

Product is easy for both technical and non-technical people to use. A cost effective solution for sending out large number of messages. We can manage unsubscribes by individual accounts, so we can have multiple multiple accounts combined to maximize our buying power on credits. Effective API for sending/receiving data makes tool a valuable asset.

I truly love this product. We are moving to an all-in-one system next year and my greatest fear in doing so is how much I will miss this platform. Although we are excited for things ahead, I will always keep Vertical Response in my back pocket incase I don't love the new platform as much

Never had an issue with uptime

No issues

At Vertical Response the help desk associates are courteous, knowledgeable and helpful. You can tell they enjoy what they do. And clearly, they are well trained because most times, the first point of contact is able to resolve any issue you may have. There have been very few times where an associate has needed to get back to me or escalate me to a supervisor

Their primary method of support was via chat which is quite responsive and generally online. If it is outside their support time, support tickets are responded to within 24hrs. I also found the support docs helpful and relevant. They would have received a 10 if it wasn't for when we had a support query and it took a couple of different agents before the solution was found in an existing support doc. Would have though that all their agents would know their knowledge base a lot better.

Basic functions and online help...we used what was needed, at the time, and will continue to explore other online trainings as our functional needs expand

Salesforce integration never worked right. We had to abandon.

In addition to using Vertical Response personally I also manage email marketing for clients that already use Mailchimp, Robly and Constant Contact. While most of these platforms all offer similar features I choose Vertical Response first if the client does not have a platform in place. Typically I am also teaching the client how to use this tool and the Vertical Response visual interface is very easy for me to teach a client how to navigate and create their own campaigns.

We used to use Simprex, and evaluated quite a few other email signature platforms such as Rocketseed/Parrot Digital and Exclaimer. We found Xink simply worked! First time and every time. It was also very cost effective and as a re-seller being able to view all out clients in a single pane of glass was also very convenient.

• We were able to blast out promotions our company was having to customers which created an increase in business.
• By blasting out any service issues, it keeps our customers informed so that they are not wondering what is going on.
• Allows us to store unsubscribed emails so that we are not constantly pestering people who do not want to be emailed.

• Pricing is very fair and enables it to be added to every mailbox without question.
• We are a reseller and also have the ability to view and administer all our clients/tenants under a single pane of glass which is very convenient.
