In my opinion, Run from Aspire.io
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Buyer Beware! We signed up with Aspire.io with high hopes. In my opinion, they have high-powered sales reps that are very good at selling you their service. However, in my experience, Aspire.io turned out to be a what I think is a scam. For us their platform does not perform and after spending hundreds of hours contacting influencers, the only ones that did respond ended up taking our free product and, in my opinion, running. I would run as fast as possible away from Aspire.io and I hope that my words of warning can help other companies not to fall into what I think is their trap. We lost thousands of dollars as well as hundreds of hours. We never made a single dime. In our experience, when we brought up our concerns, they simply said you have a contract and we intend to collect our money even if our platform doesn't make you a dime. I think this is the worst company we have ever worked with. In my opinion, run away and never look back!
Pros
- In my opinion, a scam
- In my experience, sells you a service that does not perform
- In my experience, loosing their customers money hand over fist
Cons
- In my opinion, Bad Customer Service
- I think they Don't Care if you succeed on their platform
- In my opinion, their influencers seem fake
Return on Investment
- We have received zero return on investment
- We invested thousands of dollars and never received a single order
- We've tried to get our money back and, in my experience, they don't stand behind their product at all.
- We'd simply like a refund since, in my opinion, they have not upheld their part of the partnership.
