Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Attentive Mobile to coordinate, schedule, and analyze SMS campaigns for our enterprise. The problems it addresses are how can we communicate with customers on a more immediate level. We have been attempting to personalize content in an effort to make our brand appear more human and thus increase conversion rates.

A/B Testing
Previews

Manual splitting of segments
A/B testing not involving winning criteria
Faster updates to send data as SMS is deploying

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our SMS marketing program is powered exclusively by Attentive, allowing us to educate and engage directly with our customers. A key feature of this platform is its text-back channel, which enables seamless two-way communication. This direct interaction strengthens brand trust and supports our engagement goals.

Pros

Easy to navigate dashboard and reporting interface
Two-way communication support and integration to our internal ticketing system
Concierge support for campaign building and platform optimization

Cons

Options to organize campaign messaging rather than deleting to change placement.

Likelihood to Recommend

I genuinely enjoy working with the Attentive platform due to its user-friendly design and the hands-on support provided by their team. Over the years, we've implemented various strategies to enhance our profile performance and have experienced remarkable growth through the use of AI Pro and the recommended customer journeys.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Attentive Mobile to send all of our adhoc and journey emails as well as SMS campaigns. Our production team builds email in the platform and our digital marketing team schedule email and SMS sends, update journeys, build journeys, and perform A/B testing.

Pros

The support team we work with are really knowledgeable and helpful.
Campaign set up and scheduling is extremely easy.
The platform is constantly updating with new features.
Reporting is very easy to pull.

Cons

I wish the scheduling calendar also showed draft campaigns, not just those that are scheduled.
It is a little difficult to delete old saved rows.
It is difficult to delete old automated recommendation zones.

Likelihood to Recommend

Attentive Mobile is a true partner. They give great recommendations for improving your email and SMS program that work. They respond timely and give detailed and thorough information. The platform is very user friendly and intuitive. The platform has been very reliable with minimal bugs, if any.

Contract Nightmare

Rating: 1 out of 10

January 5, 2023

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I believe that Attentive Mobile has predatory contracts with zero concessions. They may have a high growth rate, but I'd invite researchers to figure out how many of those companies are tied to a contract for up to 2 years that they cannot break with any form of concessions. When you try to talk to anyone higher than a young entry level sales person, you do not get a response. Once they have your money and contract, the customer service is poor and with my experience trying to solve real world problems companies are facing this year, Attentive Mobile does little to help their clients succeed in their goals overall.

Cons

Contract Concessions under special circumstances
Scheduling calls when clients ask for them

Likelihood to Recommend

I would not recommend Attentive Mobile to anyone in the relationship driven internet marketing world for the main reason that they become cost prohibitive over time. I believe they only want to bury you deeper in a contract when you want to make changes for the better of your business concerning SMS management. I would actually advise people AGAINST using Attentive Mobile if they asked me about my experience. Not because they aren't user friendly, but because I think their legal team runs the show and I think they do not do anything to truly help their clients grow as an overall entity. DO NOT GET INTO A CONTRACT WITH THEM EVER. You're better off getting discount on the non-contract version.

We use Attentive as our SMS platform. We’ve used them for about 3 years. Highly recommend. Great CSM service and definitely trailblazers in this space. They have a ton of resources and best practices

Pros

Account management
Platform interface

Cons

They’re growing quickly so account management changes

Likelihood to Recommend

Being a small brand, it’s been great working with Attentive. They provide white glove experience and also have great documentation.

January 12, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Attentive Mobile as our SMS marketing platform, and several clients have adopted it. We have built-in systems for email, social, and search, but Attentive Mobile came in as a great third-party for us to enable SMS campaigns. A couple of our marketing team members manage the accounts for our clients.

Pros

Easy-to-use dashboard
Ability to create/customize different creatives
Helpful customer service and client support team

Cons

Agency billing is a little messy
Reporting is all Excel based, not interactive
Occasional (rare) bugs in the UI

Likelihood to Recommend

Attentive Mobile is great for those who actively want to build and talk to their community. The goal is to send two messages per week to optimize revenue while balancing out unsubscribes. If a client has trouble with content or finding appropriate marketing messages to send, Attentive Mobile might not be a good fit.

Cons

More communication on ways to improve
More structure on calls with our account manager
More clarity on insights and new ideas

Likelihood to Recommend

I think attentive is great if you're aiming to grow you business and know that SMS is right for your customers. I believe that it is a costly investment but the return is great!
