Influitive

Influitive is great if you are considering a platform where you can engage with your customers and also track your progress in terms of content creation and results analysis. This helps keep a steady pipeline of content flowing into your AdvocateHub on a monthly basis. Also, by allowing others in your organization to post challenges, they’ll see firsthand how advocacy can support their own team’s goals and initiatives.

It is well suited for interaction with customers. There is a steep learning curve in using this platform. If this is not your full-time job, it is hard to see the advantages if you have limited time to interact with the platform.

Customer service is 10/10! I think that instead reporting can be improved adding more features and reports ready to use. Also more platforms/add on to use more rewards for all the countries in the word as a lot of rewards are US based and there is a gap in EMEA

Influitive is well suited for any organization that is interested in engaging customers, mobilizing advocates, and helping to streamline their customer reference, content creation, and product innovation processes. Any customer-centric organization should have this in their toolkit! One thing to be aware of is that, in my opinion and experience, such programs work best with a robust rewards system in place, so this is something to consider in terms of budget, especially for smaller organizations with smaller budgets to spend on customer incentives. Make sure that you consider the cost of incentives and not just the cost of the platform because I think this can have a big impact on the success of the program.

Influitive is suited for both large and small organizations. It is a safe environment (not on social media platforms) to engage with community members. You can choose to open membership to all interested parties or require a join code. It provides the framework and customer success support for onboarding, implementation, and growth. They provide professional learning opportunities to learn from the Influitive team and other community leaders. The data is robust and you can easily see what strategies are working and which ones need adjustments. If you want a safe, nurturing, fun platform to engage with your customers, Influitive fits the bill. If you don't have the funding to invest in the platform, you can start a community in many different places.

It is an overall great platform with campaigns and challenges well integrated with the entire platform, from local challenges contained to just the hub to social challenges for a wider impact. It is a one-stop solution to run and manage a loyalty program.

Influitive gets the task at hand done when it comes to gamification. But it is starting to become outdated especially when it comes to the discussion forum section. The process for setting up rewards could use some fine-tuning as well. At the moment you’re not able to clone rewards and if you’re using the Tango e-gifts, you’re not able to customize the name of the rewards.

If an organization is looking to start a customer and/or partner advocacy program - Influitive is well suited to provide an amazing experience for members. Its various features and functions lend themselves well to building diversified experiences that, with some creativity from the community manager, can meet the needs of every advocate. Using Influitive has allowed me to grow a vibrant community of customers from around the globe who are more connected than ever to our organization and each other. I wouldn't want to try tackling my job without it!

Influitive is a great platform to build a customer community and they have a great community of users that are very helpful. We've had excellent support from our CSM which definitely influences our loyalty.

Influitive is well-suited to inform customers of events and relevant content and make requests for actions you would like them to perform. It provides a method for managing discussions and allows us to easily reward them. It is not intended and does not provide options to make support requests or vote for product ideas.

Influitive continues to be a helpful resource for customers. However, something that I have been trying to come up with a solution for is a way to know when a customer leaves or becomes a prospect. Our community is solely for customers and right now I have done a data cleanse and found many prospects. Not sure how they were able to get in, and I don't want to delete them. Therefore, it would be great to have a feature that could filter the prospects out.

Influitive is well suited to support online communities of all sizes. Whether internal or external facing, Influitive is a great tool for training and development, engagement and retention, and more. Influitive may be the best fit for larger audiences vs. smaller ones, as this is geared to promoting and growing communities.

It is an easy-to-use platform that keeps customers connected to us and provides us with a committed cohort of customers who will not just provide references but also provide feedback to teams across the enterprise.

Based on our experience, internal buy-in before implementing this solution is really key. Influitive is most successful when there is shared ownership among marketing, product, client success, and support. Marketing led the purchase decision at our organization and because of that, other teams were slower to adopt Influitive into their standard operating procedures. We have other teams on board now but in hindsight, I wish we would have slowed down and brought other teams along with us during both the platform selection and implementation process. It would have accelerated our success.

Host a variety of audiences under a single community platform with high targeting features to localize exclusive content and reward your members through owned or 3rd party rewards.

The Influitive platform is very easy to get into and get going when building a client advocacy program. It has many built-in features that make the startup very easy with a not-too-steep learning curve. Influitive provides a lot of examples and directions on how to utilize their platform. It is also flexible enough to be able to customize it in many different ways, to provide a very different experience for members depending on your goals. It can be very "transactional" with challenges and points, very "conversational" with forums and discussions, and anywhere in between. The hardest parts of using Influitive are probably thinking ahead at the beginning before diving in to create your experience - something that is made even harder by the fact that the tools are so tempting to play with - and the long-term management and maintenance. A good customer experience is going to require ongoing care and tending. Influitive provides a lot of tooling around that to help - automatic reminders to members to come and revisit (customizable), reporting to identify trends in behavior, future publication scheduling tooling and reporting, etc. However, it still takes someone sitting in the pilot's chair, or perhaps more than one person sharing responsibilities.

Influitive is pretty good at getting the community excited and interested in the company's product, especially the non-technical product. If it's a non-technical product, I noticed that people tend to be more active to engage with the brand's activity, no matter if it is to promote it on social media or a higher level of activity commitment. I just hope they can have more use cases.

Influitive is great if you want to manage community within your business and give your customers an open forum to discuss with each other & your brand. It does take a lot of work & time to manage so would recommend Influitive if you're a company with the resources to truly put behind it.

I used Influitive recently to submit a written response to a customer that I was trying to persuade to join my company and this app made it so easy to do so because it simplified the written response for me and the author liked it very much. Another way that they helped me is by growing my visibility on Twitter and Instagram as I grew my brand exponentially.

Influitive is great for scaling your customer advocacy efforts. If you have a large number of customers, or a large number of customer advocacy needs, you could benefit from using this solution. It can help you formalize your communication with customers so all requests come in the same way and are easy to understand.

Influitive works well for online communities and I would like to see less clunky reporting options. But 9/10, it does its job well.

Influitive is a great program and it's very easy to use!

I would recommend Influitive based on customer support alone. They truly held our hand from day one and continue to support us regularly. We have regularly scheduled semi-weekly calls, and our customer success representative is VERY familiar with our hub (despite the fact that she is the 3rd one we've had in two years; you wouldn't know it from speaking with her). They offer a great "Influitive Institute" platform to help you learn all of the most important things before you even begin to build your own hub, and they are constantly coming up with content that you can publish to your own hub so that if you're running behind you don't have to fret that there is nothing new.

Influitive is a great program for customer advocacy. It allows you to incentivize your customers to complete high-value asks like testimonials, user interviews, etc. The hub allows you to push out these asks in a really creative way. The Influitive team is always improving on the platform and listening to their users!

The software works quite well, as mentioned, on an educational level for educational purposes. The simulation of commercial product marketing improvement scenarios through customer advocacy allows students to better understand the mechanisms of product enhancement and promotion. However, since there is no educational version just for educational simulations, it sometimes complicates the use of the software itself which does not allow to eliminate some functions.
