The emfluence platform has proven itself to be a versatile tool for the account service and digital marketing teams, enabling them to efficiently deploy emails and track their results. With its user-friendly interface and robust features, it addresses complex communication needs for clients and their customers. The platform is extensively used for sending a variety of emails, including marketing emails, monthly newsletters, participant updates, and surveys. Additionally, the pages/modules feature allows users to strategically place popups on websites, enhancing engagement and driving conversions. One notable use case lies in the seamless communication with participants - from sharing important details prior to an event like the Kansas City Marathon to following up with surveys and exclusive deals. Furthermore, the platform's social media scheduling calendar empowers teams to effectively manage Twitter and Facebook accounts. In essence, the emfluence platform serves as a vital solution for delivering high-quality email marketing campaigns while facilitating streamlined communication across different sections of a business practice, such as engaging with students, alumni, faculty, and staff. Users greatly appreciate the level of customizability when building marketing emails and find value in the ease of testing through test emails and pre-test flights. Additionally, the platform accommodates various data needs and issues, offering functionalities such as data transfers through FTP and data clean-up after integration. Overall, emfluence provides a comprehensive suite of tools that help businesses effectively engage with their target audience through email campaigns, social media posts, and analytics collection. Users also appreciate the ability to create custom fields for recipients and send pre-flights to different email clients, ensuring optimal deliverability and performance.

Valuable Custom Landing Pages for Enhanced Campaign Tracking: Several users have found the custom landing pages feature to be highly valuable. This functionality allows them to dive deeper into their campaigns, track results effectively, and gain valuable insights.

Responsive Customer Service that Provides Prompt Assistance: Reviewers consistently praise the platform's responsive customer service. The team is always ready to provide prompt assistance whenever users encounter any issues or have questions, ensuring a smooth user experience.

Effective A/B Testing for Optimizing Campaign Performance: The A/B testing feature has garnered positive feedback from multiple reviewers. Its effectiveness in comparing different versions of campaigns enables users to determine the best performing one with confidence, leading to improved campaign performance and better results.

Inconsistent Email Builder: Some users have reported experiencing inconsistencies with the email builder. They have encountered issues where the builder brings in outside code, even when pasting text that matches the format. This inconsistency has resulted in wasted time and money for these users.

Limited Customization Options for Email Templates: Several reviewers have expressed their dissatisfaction with the lack of control and overly simplified nature of the email templates provided by the system. These users would like to see more customization options available to create personalized emails.

Lack of Depth in Reporting Feature: Users have mentioned that they find the reporting feature lacking in depth and detail. Specifically, they feel that it doesn't provide enough information or tracking capabilities for specific users. This limitation makes it difficult for them to gather comprehensive insights and track individual user behavior effectively.

Users commonly recommend Emfluence for the following reasons:

  • Emfluence is easy to use and highly customizable, making it ideal for beginners in the email campaign and marketing automation world. Users with some knowledge of HTML find it particularly helpful.
  • The platform offers robust capabilities beyond email marketing, including creating groups, running reports, posting to social media, and creating automated workflows. This streamlines marketing tasks and improves efficiency.
  • Users praise the exceptional customer support provided by Emfluence. They value the detailed assistance, training, and local support offered by the team. The Emfluence team is described as helpful and knowledgeable, working closely with customers to develop new features or functions.

It's important to note that these are common recommendations from users, but additional reviews would be needed for a more comprehensive analysis of the software product.

I am the Marketing Coordinator for a Public Awareness Company and we use emfluence to help our clients reach the largest audience available to them. It is imperative we use an email client we can trust and we found that with emfluence. I am working in the platform every day building email campaigns, social media posts, and collecting analytics. My favorite features are the ability to create custom fields for recipients of our campaign messages and the ability to send a pre-flight to all different email clients. Emfluence makes my job so much easier!
  • Preflight
  • Data collection
  • Campaign management
  • Reporting features
  • Custom fields are a little confusing
  • Form builder is rigid
The reporting feature is not as detailed as we require for our documentation, so we have to organize the results into charts and graphs. For every other component of our social media and digital marketing, emfluence checks all of the boxes.
  • Positive data analysis
  • Positive engagement
  • Positive analytics

Emfluence offers more marketing automation features - instead of just email marketing and data optimization.

It's being used by our account service and digital marketing team to deploy emails and track results. It's solving complex communications that we have for some our client and its customers.
  • Custom landing pages to dive deeper into campaigns and track results
  • Responsive customer service with any problems we come by
  • A/B testing
  • The email builder is hit and miss. Sometimes it brings in outside code, even when I paste text that matches the format, which loses us time and money.
  • More control of email templates, it feel as if it is over simplified.
  • Reporting lacks some depth in information and tracking specific users.
emfluence is good to use as a basic email marketing platform. I would advise that if someone would want very specific data from their email deployments, to look elsewhere.
  • It's allowed for us to generate more traffic to our client's websites.
  • It's allowed for us to generate more leads from email marketing through emfluence.
  • Visual click maps, more customized dashboard and email templates, and a deeper dive in data would help further business objectives.

It definitely does a better job for what we are doing for client than ClickDimensions, but Salesfusion is a platform that we ideally would like to use for all of our clients due to it's customization.

We use the emfluence platform for our entire organization. We send out marketing emails, monthly emails, participants emails, surveys and we use the pages/modules section to place a popup onto our website. The platform helps us easily keep in contact with our participants like at the Kansas City Marathon. We can send them details leading up to race day and then afterward follow up with surveys and deals. We also use the social media scheduling calendar for our Twitter and Facebook accounts.
  • The social media scheduling is a great way to schedule posts ahead of time, even months in advance.
  • Our email templates were created to match our website and we have access to edit them to customize even further.
  • The new drag and drop is a lot easier to move blocks of text around within the email template.
  • We change out the website popup frequently on our website and it is easy to change with the emfluence platform's pages/modules tool.
  • The survey tool on the emfluence platform are easy to use and easy to use and easy to pull the results.
  • I do have issues sometimes when making a website popup. I specify certain measurements of my popup yet when it shows up on my website, the graphic doesn't adjust and I have a bunch of white space. But that could also be my website.
  • When adding a new contact into the contact section, once you hit save, the contact information stays on the screen instead of an empty contact profile so you can immediately add the next person.
  • Sometimes when I update a template, The unsubscribe link will link to my email address instead of the person the email is being sent to.
If an organization sends out a lot of marketing emails and has social media campaigns to go along with the emails, you can manage all of it all in one platform. This makes it easier to monitor. Each email and social media posts can be assigned to a certain campaign which makes it great to gather results to share with a sponsor when they want to know if their sponsorship dollars are being used correctly and their contract is being met.

If an organization doesn't have a need to send out marketing emails, then it might not be that great of a fit.
  • We always have a very high rate of open percentage, which usually lead to more registration. We can track that we can have a large uptick in registrations after certain emails have been sent.
  • The more results we can gather like social media clicks, shares and likes and the email opens we can share with sponsors, the more they will come back as a sponsor and also possibly be more investing in our organization.

We have used Constant Contact and with the issues we had with them lead us to turn to emfluence 8 years ago. The emfluence platform is easier to use, and we like that they are a Kansas City based company. We are able to visit their staff at the office and they have come to our office for meetings. It's been a very personal relationship with their staff and I have become friends with some of their staff over the years. Even though we are a small organization, they make us feel like we are their top client. I always get a quick response when I email support and they handle any issues or questions withing 24/48 hours, sometimes even sooner.

All email marketing initiatives are done through our marketing department on behalf of branches nationwide. emfluence was one of the few platforms that would accommodate our data needs and issues. They helped us with a custom solution to provide high-quality email marketing to our customers.

Our data systems don't play nice with every platform. We aren't able to use an API to connect data. We require data transfers through FTP. emfluence was able to accommodate that need, as others weren't. They also have a feature that allows up to clean up the data after it enters the platform. It was a critical solution solved for us by emfluence.
  • Custom solutions for data transfers.
  • Easy and intuitive email creation.
  • Broad-scale tracking, measuring, organizing email platform.
  • A little more diversity in their templates.
  • Variable data automation for customers that can't use an API.
If you need some custom data connectivity solutions, emfluence can help. They provide cost-effective solutions to your needs. It's comprehensive and easy to use. You can get the education without the need to have someone holding your hand. If you need a very hands-on support system, they aren't what you're looking for.
  • Tracking and measuring of data
  • Best practices for the medium
  • Better open rates
  • Better traffic to our site

They were the only company that could solve our specific problems. When we looked at larger companies like Constant Contact, they weren't as capable at handling our specific needs for a reasonable price. Some companies need to charge us programming hours. Bigger companies couldn't help our issue. emfluence is more flexible.
