AWeber is being used to build lists and contact leads, for example newsletters, blog, telesummit or free giveaway. It is also being used for delivery of follow ups and broadcasts after a product is purchased, for example a coaching program.
- AWeber keeps your lists organized well and gives you many customization abilities for individual lists.
- AWeber makes it easy for you to cut and paste from word and pdf documents into the editor without first having to strip code which saves time.
- AWeber keeps a library of images for you so you can easily insert them each time.
- AWeber gives you many options to create nice looking opt in boxes and forms with custom branding and images for each individual list.
- AWeber has excellent customer service.
- AWeber has an intuitive work flow.
Cons
- AWeber could use some improvement in the functionality and range of what options they provide in the editor. For example, it would be nice to have more font choices and if the editor would remember font color choices that are most used (it refreshes after saving). Sometimes the editor doesn't hold your font choice and so you have to go back and select your font choice again.
- AWeber's editor functionality takes a little getting used to. Sometimes you have to line your image or paragraph blocks up differently than it looks in the editor. I always TEST my emails to make sure images and text aline nicely in the final email, overall it is a good layout and is still easier and less time consuming than writing html newsletters:)
- It would be nice if AWeber created more customizable social media share buttons you could insert (as an option) that can be used when creating newsletters and blogs.
- The url/link button could use some improvement as far as work flow goes, it is easy to link text or make a url live, but not easy to break the link on words, usually you have to delete and re-write the words.
- AWeber should move the pop up image edit box over to the right more for a better work flow, so it doesn't overlap the editor, it makes it hard to delete and move blocks when it is overlapped with the pop up editor.
- AWeber blog broadcasts are not very appealing visually.
- It would be nice if AWeber provided more plain/customizable templates for your own branding that allows for background colors that match your branding for newsletter and blogs.
- Provides Good Work Flow
- Increased daily efficiency
- AWeber has excellent customer service when troubleshooting
I prefer AWeber over 1ShoppingCart because it is less time consuming then having to write html broadcasts and auto-responders and AWeber doesn't seem to have the delivery complications to some email addresses like yahoo and gmail that 1ShoppingCart seems to have sometimes.
I prefer AWeber over Constant Contact for it's ability to have different individual lists with their own customizable opt in boxes/forms and auto responders and that AWebercan integrate with other systems and gateways.
