Powerful, but clunky and hasn't innovated fast enough

Return on Investment

  • ROI very much depends on the strategy driving a data-driven marketing project, and not so much the platform itself.
  • IBM Watson Campaign Automation is more expensive than other platforms to use, day in day out, because of its clunky interface.
  • It's a flexible product and can achieve more than most.

  • Overall it has been positive from an agency standpoint, however the lack of accessibility and ease has created a difficult learning curve for our self service customers.

Return on Investment

  • While I am usually not on the ROI side of things, I do know that we have seen a increase in conversions (using the automated lead scoring) by about 14% for one business line.
  • We have seen our deliverability increase significantly, and open and click-thru rates increase gradually over the last two years.
  • We are now able to provide a unified, consistent brand-experience for all our email campaigns on a global basis.

  • Through Silverpop automated programs, we have greatly increased customer conversions on our website (product sampling, literature downloads, tool orders, etc.).
  • Silverpop marketing automation has also increased employee efficiency by allowing us to provide timely, relevant follow up to customer actions within a few programs, rather than multiple email campaigns. it has alo allowed us to extend the reach of our product announcement campaigns by using an automated component.

Silverpop Review

Return on Investment

  • Better customer service: emails are more reliably sent than our last platform
  • Better holistic view of our email program: All emails are now currently sent through Silverpop, so we have a better view on how customers are engaging across all email messages and what messages they are interacting with.
  • More control for the Marketing team: Previously all of our automated messages were sent from our internal platform and marketers had little control over messaging, without going through IT prioritization time and a release. Today, we can make changes to copy, links, imagery on the fly. Data changes sometimes do still require IT time, but much less than before.

Return on Investment

  • You get a lot of features out of the box as standard.
  • What you can't get do of the box, you can either purchase as an add-on or execute via some API development.
  • Automating simple campaigns easily frees up more time to work on more complex work.

Return on Investment

  • Improved lead process/conversion between marketing and sales - more clearly defined process and SLAs
  • On the downside, the amount of time our system administrator has had to spend troubleshooting data and campaign issues has made her less efficient and strategic
  • We have been able to start attaching ROI to our automation campaign efforts and put a $ value to leads touched by nurture tracks

Return on Investment

  • we have not experienced any currently but moving to lead automation and lead scoring could change that.
  • i'm not sure how increased employee efficiency would ever be a benefit b/c lead importing and visibility, along with setting up email templates is quite cumbersome.

Return on Investment

  • Silverpop has provided our business revenue in the hundreds of thousands over the past year or so. It is definitely a tool that we see a return on investment in.
  • Silverpop has created a wonderful additional touch point with our customers across the country at a relatively low cost. As well as provide our branches in the field an outlet for information they need to communicate.
  • Some of our programs (such as our welcome programs) have hit record numbers in revenue conversions on our purchasing site. It helps people to convert from a regular customer to an online customer.

Return on Investment

  • My team spends more time repairing marketers' broken layouts, dealing with confusing data issues, helping them figure out how to pull fairly simple reports, than our previous ESP.
  • Silverpop has cost our team (and company) nearly a hundred hours of wasted time addressing these issues.
