So ReachMail is up there with HubSpot and Mailchimp, we've used this web platform to keep up with our clients to send reminders and scope new networks of people we can work with pretty efficiently the platform is easy to use to send emails out and helps focus on the right people we want to reach.

Pros

  • The Campaign Analytics has helped very much
  • Also the activity tracking we've used to stay on top
  • The dashboard isn't to complicated either with the tutorials provided

Cons

  • I like the tutorials they have helped figure most of my issues out
  • The formatting text gave me lots of issues before I saw the tutorial it was a little complicated
  • Not to many bad things to say really, even customer service is fast, maybe it could be faster?

Reachmail--5K contacts and 15K emails monthly, no fee. No kidding!

Pros

  • Survey building as part of free accounts. A good alternative to Google Docs and other online survey builders.
  • Image library. Generous storage space as part of free accounts.
  • Content and assets. Free storage space for docs and links.

Cons

  • Email templates' visual appeal isn't as eye-catching as other platforms like Constant Contact or Mail Chimp, especially basic newsletter formats.
  • Free accounts have access to 70 templates, which is adequate and they can be modified, but specialized templates, such as holidays, are very limited.
  • Unless one has formatting experience with online templates, altering cell, row, column, and table blocks can be pretty frustrating. Save drafts often!
  • Adjusting text and background color choices can be tricky.
  • ReachMail video instructions are pretty good, but online help search tool doesn't offer much depth.

Return on Investment

  • Enhanced target audience reach for fundraising events, a definite positive.
  • Detailed metrics reporting on opens and click-throughs, for refining target audiences, a definite positive.
