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 use Listrak to send cart abandonment emails, welcome emails, and sales emails. We also use the segmentation tool to find specific customers if we are looking for feedback on new products or specific issues. This has been a great way to reach out to them in a very personalized way.
  • 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.

Currently, Listrak is the primary digital marketing platform utilized at our company. We use Listrak strictly for email marketing campaigns that are sent to our customers on a monthly basis. Listrak simplifies a variety of tedious issues, such as email automation based on customer engagement and ability to save developing and design time by implementing dynamic content.
  • Analytics: Their contact, conversion, and message analytics are far superior to many other platforms I have used. They have a variety of import/export functionalities that trump their completion. The amount and variety of ways you are able to segment your database and lists seems infinite - which is convenient for anyone dealing with list sizes of approximately 2 million.
  • Unique Tools: Listrak offers unique tools such as model acquisition, shopping cart abandonment, & Coupon Manager. The latest addition, 'Coupon Manager' allows you to generate Barcodes & QR codes in email and SMS campaigns. All features and tools have an analytics dashboard that helps you understand a variety of data that will benefit future marketing campaigns
  • It is rare that I have issues or feel like Listrak has an area to improve in. The company is constantly ahead of the market and making additions/improvements on a monthly basis. That being said ... I have one area to suggest improvements: COMPOSER
  • Composer - Drag & Drop editor: Although their design software with the new 'Composer' is better than your average WYSIWYG editor, their drag & drop editor lacks some basic design tools that stunt your ability to design out-of-the-box email campaigns. I typically write all my email code, so this doesn’t necessarily affect me in a negative manner. But ... if coding emails isn't your strong point, then the lack of design features and limited template selection could be bothersome. (*disclaimer - I do not believe Listrak's drag & drop editor is garbage, but it does fall short when compared to some of its competition.)
Listrak is wonderful if your company has a large email database with a goal of increasing customer engagement. The wide variety of analytics & reports you can produce makes Listrak extremely useful for data driven marketing techniques. As I stated previously, Listrak is slighly behind its competition with their drag & drop editor, 'Composer.' If you're looking for ease-of-use for email design and a variety of responsive templates to choose from, Listrak may not be your best option, but a little bit of email coding knowledge makes that problem irrelevant
  • Ability to execute dynamic content & intricately segmented email campaigns has made a hugely positive impact on our marketing capabilities while maintaining a large database.
  • Listrak does cost slightly more than its competition, therefore making me (the consumer) look a little harder at our ROI since implementing Listrak as our primary digital marketing platform. All-in-all, it is safe to say that Listrak has definitely had a positive impact on our overall business goals of creating campaigns that increase customer engagement, click-thru rates, and most importantly conversions.
Listrak stands out from the listed companies for a variety of reasons, but there are 3 main areas that make Listrak my go to platform.
1. Superior control over your Database & Lists
2. Excellent deliverability rate for businesses that possess a large database.
3. Pricing: I know I mentioned this as one of Listrak's semi-weak points - but the monthly rate negotiated with our account manager for 1,000,000 email sends /month is definitely lower than the listed competition (based on online estimates, not speaking with an account representative.)

I use it to create and implement email marketing campaigns on behalf of clients. I use it to automate best-practice, responsive email campaigns for business to business and business to consumer clients. I also create and manage automated sales drip campaigns for teams of sales reps. Helps me create highly-personalized and customized messaging.
  • Easy personalization and customization of messaging.
  • High deliverability and reliability.
  • Easy to use user interface.
  • Some functions are displayed in small screen areas, necessitating much scrolling.
  • Would like analytics within "conversations" that match those of conventional message analytics.
  • Needs flexibility in designing the pass along message screen.
Very strong in retail email marketing. This is their sweet spot, and any business in online retail or brick and mortar retail should definitely consider Listrak. I also use Listrak for business to business email marketing, especially when designed to drive new business or reactivate old customers. Great for drip marketing campaigns.
  • High deliverability yields higher ROI
  • The speed of message development and quality of user interface means marketing campaigns are delivered faster.
  • Complex conversations help deliver highly-relevant messaging, yielding better ROI.
Stronger in business to consumer and online retail email marketing. Better user interface. Better reporting functions.

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.
Listrack seems better suited for a series of one-off emails to discreet lists of addresses than for series of messages to core constituency.
  • 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.
