Robust Omnichannel platform with advanced personalization.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Iterable is our omnichannel automation platform that serves various team needs across strategic segments. It addresses the need to orchestrate multiple channels without conflicts and personalise these messages. This delivers optimal UX for our clients and allows us to maintain high messaging quality without burning channels or rendering them ineffective.

Pros

  • Personalization of the messages sent via Iterable.
  • Multi language management.
  • Improving workflow for teams operating with Iterable reducing resources spent.
  • Reduces the need of developer resources.
  • orchestrating omni channel marketing.

Cons

  • In-app channel, although it works, has some shortcomings in UI functionality or system backend logic, which suggests it is built on an email send-out architecture.
  • Drag and drop editor has its own limitations - it isn't perfect. You can't create some basic designs.

Return on Investment

  • Time to market has decreased by multiple days, and resources spent to launch initiatives have decreased compared to various alternatives.
  • Multiple initiatives that deliver positive ROI have been launched, which couldn't be done on the previous sendout platform, thanks to Handlebar templating language, the data catalog function, and iterable CS resources.

So far so good

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have recently migrated over to Iterable within the last 4 weeks. We were previously with customer.io. We send high volume emails to our audiences. The product helps us address engagement/volume correlations by using best different features such as the recommendation model, priority push notifications and send time optimisation for our non-UK users.

Pros

  • Segmentation is easy to use
  • Experiments based on goals
  • Recommendation model

Cons

  • New release emails to keep us in the loop
  • video based help guides

Return on Investment

  • Not yet confirmed as just migrated

Fantastic ESP

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Iterable is our ESP used for our B2C marketing activity. We utilise both journeys and blast emails supported by a great range of features within the Iterable platform including the snippets and recently enhanced content library. Managing our audience through segmentation and lists is simple and effective, and the native reporting is strong too.

Pros

  • Journey builder; from triggers to flexibility within the trigger and constant innovation, this is a really strong part of Iterable.
  • The snippets builders add a lot of efficiency with re-usable content.
  • Constantly innovating; one of Iterable's strengths is that they never sit still, new features and improvements to existing ones are always in the pipeline.
  • STO on a user by user basis allows us to treat users as individuals.

Cons

  • We've utilised the MCP server this year to integrate with Claude, however Claude only builds emails in the WYSIWIG editor, which we don't typically user and any final refinements by hand are unfamiliar and tricky.

Return on Investment

  • Iterable in combination with Digioh has resulted in a 65% growth in our database and direct revenue double in the last 15 months.

Alternatives Considered

Intuit Mailchimp

We also utilize Iterable to test new templates and messaging. I am looking forward to the upcoming improvements to the platform and to how much Nova will help me execute my daily tasks.

Pros

  • Journey building.
  • Campaign segmentation analysis.
  • Catalog implementation.

Cons

  • A/B testing reporting.
  • General Campaign reporting.
  • Better visibility into how metrics are being calculated.

Return on Investment

  • Don't know the numbers.
