Small company that uses 7Sheep on its own and implements for clients.

I normally work alone and I like simple solutions and 7Sheep is one. Currently I use 7Sheep as my contact list and send out emails with the tool. I also recommend 7Sheep to my clients and set up forms, landing pages and lead tracking via the tool. Sometimes I use 7Sheep for online forms to do surveys.
  • Sending and tracking email newsletters works very well for me. I get a good overview who opened my email and which links were clicked.
  • I often need to show parts of a form based on user input. Setup of complex forms is straight forward.
  • I started to play around with sending SMS and really like this features. It is more direct than an email.
Cons
  • Setup of PDF exports like lists can only be done by contacting support first.
  • I miss a WordPress integration. As there is nothing available I have to do it on my own via the API.
  • For newsletters I would like to have an easier view on the clicks. Currently there is an overview by link and one by email. I would like to see this combined.
I am a small company. I think 7Sheep is great for small companies. I would not use it in an enterprise setup.

I recommend 7Sheep to my clients whenever they need to generate or manage a large group of contacts, and interact with them again in future, to create a contacts list or to organise an event or a survey. Most recently it was used to capture the interest of potential event participants via a social media campaign, and build a manageable database of contacts which was easily segmented - and all automated.
  • It's extremely reliable - I have never lost any data and rely on the automated features to only contact the right people at the right time.
  • It's usable directly by communications/PR people like me - and does not need IT experts to get involved.
  • It's super easy to just "collect" the information which has been gathered. I love the way I can export my contacts to excel (and other formats) whenever I want.
Cons
  • The terminology used is not always obvious to people who are not marketing automation experts, but it's essentially a personal learning curve - and 7Sheep does take user suggestions onboard and works to improve these things all the time.
  • Design flexibility already outclasses some of the other systems I have used, but even more flexibility/adaptability would obviously make my marcomms job even easier.
  • At the beginning, the wiki was a little too technical for me, when I just wanted answers to a "how do I make it do this" question.
As long as you know what you need 7Sheep for, then you will be impressed at how much it will do for you. If you only have a small list of contacts and only talk to them once a year, then you'll probably not need it - but if you are involved in any kind of communications/PR within multiple clients or multiple stakeholder groups, it will make your life a lot easier once you've understood how to work it yourself.

7Sheep and its Advantage for Market and Product Management in the Wine and Spirits Industry

We are a wine and spirit import company that primarily deals with premium, family-operated vineyards in Chile looking to gain access to the US market. For us, we need to be able to manage multiple types of contacts and having a very easy list-building capability helps to facilitate communication with the different areas in our supply chain - from producers to freight to the end customer. Within our team, each member uses it regardless of the country they are located in. For example, 7Sheep assists us in sending out registration for tasting events in addition to marketing material on a regular basis. It helps us keep everything in one place and the interface is easy to understand and can be used by all.
  • 7Sheep's support is fantastic and they have been extremely helpful, whenever we have encountered issues or needed assistance, in particular when we first began using the product. They were great in helping us to customize everything for our use.
  • I particularly appreciate how easy it is to create queries and separate our contact lists. This aids us immensely with targeted communications.
  • The tags to personalize mailings are incredibly useful and save a lot of time.
  • I enabled text message campaigns within our account and it is really very simple, a very low additional cost and drives our personalized engagement further.
Cons
  • The personalized tags cannot be accessed from the menu/page you create your emails. I get around this by opening two windows, but in the future this might be an improvement.
  • I needed to create custom reports in order to get the overview on the campaigns that I needed. More generic reporting would be a useful feature.
  • I would like to be able to duplicate e-mail campaigns across different activities/databases. I could set up a mailing template for this but sometimes it would be good to be able to just re-create a particular campaign that we received a good response to for another, entirely different, activity.
As we are primarily a B2B company, I find 7Sheep particularly suited to our needs - specifically being able to track engagement with both our digital campaigns and see the events that our buyers have attended. I don't need to have more e-mails per month than are included in our plan. I imagine that for a B2C company the volume of e-mails that need to be sent per month might exceed the limit within the plan (100,000) and this might be something to ask during the selection process.

I am a consulting company and we also give software trainings. We are a family business and all three of us use the tool. External staff has no access. 7Sheep is used to capture leads on our website and nurture them until they book a session or a training. We also use it for our newsletter.
  • We have embedded a 7Sheep form on our website to capture leads and give them free access to our marketing materials.
  • 7Sheep automatically sends out a timed campaign over time to nurture our leads.
  • The same contact list is used to send our our regularl newsletter.
Cons
  • We use Joomla and a plugin would be great.
  • To get a perfect match for the look of our website we had to use custom CSS. Support explained us how to use this.
  • Planning campaings over time can only be done in a list view. A more easy approach would be great.
7Sheep forms can be integrated with a JavaScript code into your own landing pages. I would not use the 7Sheep standalone forms directly as landing page. It is well suited for a small team (we are 3) that has an existing website. Our newsletter is built directly in the Joomla CMS and 7Sheep is able to fetch the HTML code for sending it out.

We use 7Sheep to manage the large list of clients and potential clients we have. We also use it as a "consultants/freelancers" database. We also use 7Sheep to send out news alerts or newsletters.

We also implement 7Sheep for clients with their own accounts and we complete drip campaigns and trigger notifications. We also use it to manage free events.

  • A wide variety of triggers that are very simple to set up mean that I have a lot of flexibility with the automation. I also use it to keep in communication with my consultants and freelancers and have some processes set up in there (like reminders) which is great.
  • 7Sheep provides support not just for the digital inbound marketer - in fact, we are using it for communications and feedback loops. The form builder means that we can also have quite complex surveys, questionnaires, registration forms etc. Being able to link forms back to the original contact database gives me an easy and 360° view of interaction from my contacts.
  • As a European consultancy firm we cater to clients with more than 1 working language. I'm happy to recommend 7Sheep to clients who need to be able to have multi-lingual campaigns and feedback loops. Everything can be translated to be presented in different languages. Happy that it is stored all in the same place.
Cons
  • Repositioning of fields with drag and drop in a form would be fantastic!
  • The translation interface for form fields could be improved.
  • Easier report builder would be nice.
This is great for smaller teams. They market themselves as 1-10 member teams and I think that's a great guideline. There are a lot of alternatives for the enterprise teams out there. I wanted to combine 7Sheep with Hootsuite for social media management, and my own CRM etc. If you are looking for all the bells and whistles and a one-stop-shop for marketing software, this is not the software for you. On the other hand I like that I can have my best-of-breed apps for each area of my work.
