LOVE Listrak! Great e-comm tool with amazing ROI results
We use Listrak to create and send our email campaigns. I had never heard of Listrak until I started working here, but quickly discovered how easy it was to use, and how much focus they really have on e-commerce. We can quickly create an email, import/upload media files and add them to an email, modify the HTML or create a drag & drop template, segment our various audiences and send our marketing emails to very specific, dynamic segments.
In addition, we use Listrak to send our triggered email campaigns. The setup is incredibly simple and these campaigns have really helped us move the needle. We average about 60/40 for marketing vs triggered sends, and sometimes even see 50/50 on certain months! It definitely helps make my job easier, and while I do rely on their support team and my AM team a lot, they constantly teach me new things so I can figure things out on my own. It's a very sophisticated platform, and while it can seem daunting, it isn't difficult to use. You'll just need to learn a few tricks to help make navigating and creating easier.

It's a very sophisticated platform, and while it can seem daunting, it isn't difficult to use. You'll just need to learn a few tricks to help make navigating and creating easier.
- E-commerce: The focus they have on e-commerce businesses is incredible! We can offer up recommendations to our subscribers based on what they've browsed, abandoned, and/or purchased... all in one email or web page! It makes the process of merchandising in emails that much more personal and simplified.
- Simplicity: While there are many components to the Listrak platform, each area is simplified in a way to make it easy to use. For example, there are a ton of analytics data, but they offer various visual formats to hone in on what metric(s) you're looking to view.
- Success: What good is an investment if you're not getting a solid return? Listrak has everything we need (plus some) to be successful. Their team is highly knowledgeable too, and if one person doesn't know something, they'll find the answer for you. They are always very helpful!
- I'd like more control with the drag & drop template builder. I've used HubSpot in the past, and the builder they offer allows a lot of customization to a simple template which makes someone who isn't savvy with HTML/CSS capable of creating beautiful & mobile friendly templates. It would help me, as sometimes I'm focused too much on the dev side of email creation. Being able to modify the CSS in the header of a builder template, and in specific builder modules, would significantly increase my turn-around time for email creation, and would allow me to leverage others in our marketing team to help in the email process (and send more emails!).
- The chat feature (and consistency of experience) isn't always that great of an experience. I love being able to quickly message support when I run into something, but in truth, there have been a few too many times that my chats have been left unread for 20+ minutes, and once when a support person just ghosted me in perhaps one of the most difficult times that I needed them (and was extremely pressed for time, unable to call them). I ended up figuring it out on my own, but the consistency in chat is lacking.
- This one is silly, but it has been a source of pain for me: the ability to exclude audiences. When I'm creating a segment, I have the option to pull in saved audiences (previously saved searches for a group of contacts). But I don't have the option to exclude them, which requires making a new audience with logic that sometimes I have to cross my fingers and hope the logic is correct and all-encompassing. It's not a deal-breaker, but it doesn't help save time in the email sending process.
- A huge ROI! Email accounts for a very, very significant portion of our overall company revenue (especially when you compare cost vs sales).
- They help me understand information that Google Analytics cannot show (e.g., how certain split tests perform regarding revenue, when the campaign parameters are the same) and of course show us engagement info.
- The only big negative is that, because it requires knowledge of HTML/CSS, taking a vacation is very difficult for me because I'm the only one managing our email program. None of our other marketing team members know enough to help me when I'm swamped or need extended time off. If only that really customizable builder were available......... ;)
The focus Listrak has on e-commerce was a huge selling point. The price-point and easy installation were another attraction. The product is simple, clean, effective, and encompasses everything we need to be successful. It was a clear winner for us.

Listrak Makes Email Marketing to the Masses More Manageable
I've been using Listrak now for email marketing and communication with our customer base for over two years now. It's provided a great set of features and benefits we've been able to take advantage of in our marketing processes. We send daily marketing emails along with other special related marketing pieces as well. Listrak does a good job of integrating with our custom developed eCommerce website to track and use customer purchase history for follow-up, and supporting transactional emails as well. Listrak is a very powerful tool and I continue to find new features and functionality available that we can continue to take advantage of in our marketing efforts to drive better results for our bottom line. When needed, Listrak customer support is also always there to lend a hand and help with explanations or education of more functions.
- Easily manage large customer base
- Effectively group and divide customer list into more functional audience and targeted delivery groups
- Great customer care and support from Help Desk team
- Lots of online resources for help and support available as well
- GUI could use a bit of a refresh but not out-of-date functionally
- Some of the transactional and responsive campaign building controls can be somewhat cumbersome
- Sometimes a challenge to quickly navigate to components or find pieces of data for customers that you're needing
- Listrak has definitely had positive impact on bottom line for sales and marketing purposes
- Pricing model for us has worked as needed
- Definitely feel comfortable recommending Listrak to professional contacts and connections across numerous industry groups
I've been using programs like Listrak for several years. Many times the needs from clients have been on a smaller scale, so options like MailChimp and ConstantContact have provided the necessary service levels. However, if you're looking at merging effectively with an eCommerce platform or larger subscriber base as a more corporate or enterprise level, you're going to need to upgrade. For my experience so far, Listrak and options like Bronto are leaders in providing these types of email solutions.

Right now, all usage is managed within the IT/Marketing teams by two individuals for the most part.

Listrak is the one we use!
We use Listrak mostly as a email marketing tool. It is utilized by our marketing and .com teams. It holds and organizes our subscriptions lists and has a great user friendly dashboard for creating emails. You can use the drag and drop tool if you are technically challenged but there is also HTML editing if you are comfortable creating in that environment. The reports are also well built.
- Segmentation is one of my favorite features. We love being able to pull specific audiences and tailor our marketing to the individual customer.
- Importing and exporting lists is very self explanatory and easy to manage.
- The main dash has a great overview of your most recent messages and metrics.
- We have a Top Contributors list that we use that is a little tricky to update. When you import the list the software will check for duplicates which is nice but we would love to see an option where names that are on the new list but not in the previous list can be easily removed. Right now it is a manual process so it's a little time consuming.
- We have very few emails that go out that do not provide a ROI for us. We have some emails that are not intended for conversions but if we keep the links to the site on the informational or segmented emails we usually end up with a few sales as a by product. For us it has been worth the investment.
- The one thing we are having issue with right now is not a Listrak problem specifically, just a marketing issue in general. The new GDPR laws are pretty strict about marketing outside the US and the penalties are significant. We have a large portion of our business overseas so this has been difficult to navigate.
This is the first subscription list service we have used so we don't have much to compare it to. We have no complaints about the software or the service they provide. They have been very easy to work with and fast to respond to questions on our account.

Good product with excellent customer service but not a great match for our business needs.
Listrak is used across the organization and not just in our department. It currently handles all of our marketing to prospective students as well as to alumni, parents,and other potential donors to the college.
- Great customer support.
- Easy to make templates to be used across my department.
- System for email personalization very simple to use.
- Good analytics on each email.
- In training sessions lead by Listrak staff, they did not show understanding that we have a back-end database that is our system of record for email addresses.
- Would like a way to organize users into permission groups, so that everyone in my department can see each other's work and collaborate without seeing work of other parts of our organization.
- Switching between HTML view and design view introduce extra quotation marks, which breaks the HTML code.
- System for knowing who was "subscribed" and who is on suppression list, and reason for being on suppression list very hard to understand.
- Positive impact: Our marketing email is now handled off-site, which has solved problem of our internally-sent emails being marked as spam.
- Negative impact: More of our marketing messages are getting caught by spam filters. But that comes with the territory.
