What is Robly?
Robly is an email marketing solution designed for beginners and experts alike.
According to the vendor, some key benefits include:
Robly's breakthrough OpenGen technology sends your first campaign as you would normally send it. OpenGen will then re-send your campaign 1-5 days later, with a different subject line, only to those subscribers who didn't open your first email.
Exit Intent Popups
Instead of a normal sign-up widget, use a pop-up widget with Robly's signature Exit-Intent technology to offer subscribers who are leaving your website incentive for joining your mailing list, and watch your list grow.
Patent Pending Robly A.I.
Instead of sending your email campaign all at once, patent-pending Robly A.I. sends each email one at a time, at the exact moment your subscriber is most likely to check their inbox.

We initially transitioned from Constant Contact to Robly as a way of cutting down costs. They were aggressive in reaching out to us and giving us a new customer offer. It turned out they had a few patents pending for OpenGen and later on, "AI Sending" advantages that the competition did not catch on to, early on. We would have liked the offering to also include a measure of whether the emails are likely to go to SPAM or not. We love the 6 mobile responsive templates they have. Wish they had more! The subscription rate is right and the support is great since it's a smaller outfit and they remain private and so affordable.
- OpenGen - Great way to automate the sending out process and change the subject line retroactively. Plan ahead.
- AI Sending monitors the open rates and maximizes the potential open click rates based on the user's habit and proclivity to email.
- Sends out dual function email push attempts to guarantee better success the next time around.
- We would have liked spam filters to ascertain where the email would have otherwise gone to spam.
- We would like dual address footers as options for companies like ours that have several physical addresses for sending out emails.
- Better compliance with social media tabs and presence.
- Expertise workshops held in big cities like New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles to spread the word and attune users into best practices. They could be used for retention and marketing as well.
- Feedback with account managers at Robly that can take the account to the next level and up sell and retain needs that are addressed early on.
- Spam filters need to be addressed.
- More interaction with my customers. We like the new Profile mugshots you have attached to our contacts online, but wonder how you were able to bring them up like that.
- Tracking and calibrating campaigns is very useful.

We like Robly. We love the logo too. Send us freebies. We would like to have more use of CRM on Robly. We would like to use Robly as a CRM and integrate it with our email lists on Facebook and Zoho (which we use). We need to get people more inclined to interact back with us in our physical location. We have a cafe onsite called GainVille Cafe. We would like to use Robly (much like SpotOn and Belly) for customers to input their details potentially or leave us Yelp or Google reviews.

Yes
We opted to change gears and switched from Constant Contact although they had a good model but the annual subscription was a bit too much for the benefit. It was Purely a ROI reasoning when we opted out.
- Price
- Product Features
- Product Usability
OPEN GEN and A.I. were the main reason. A good logo always helps.
We would do a bit more research before transitioning. We were sold by a good salesperson working for ROBLY or on their behalf (Mauricio Mo Garcia). All is needed is trust on the phone and a good initial promotion in order to sign-up. It takes a very good sales tactic to close the deal. We did not do any research but we ought to have considering ROBLY was very aggressive initially to convert Constant Contact users. They did not have OPEN GEN or A.I. at the time, but we still went along with a great promotion early on. The offer to "create and customize an email template for free" was the trigger that closed the deal. We should have asked for a Mobile Responsive template back then (circa 2015). We did not!
- Implemented in-house
Yes
We had Mauricio Mo Garcia sell us the ROBLY promotion over Memorial Week back in May 2015. After he offered us the promotion to start with, he handed the second phase of the implementation by having Denis, the in-house web designer, work on a customized template that befitted our needs. This became a template we could use moving forward on our own. We ought to have been hand-held a tad bit further by having him design a mobile responsive email campaign template instead.
Change management was minimal
Trust was a major component. Since I handle the decision making when it came to implementation, I handled the transition and learning curve all by myself.
- Working with Denis, the web designer on HTML that included a CALL US button at the very top of the email launch out process.
- Having a MENU that matched our existing web site colors, theme and layout in terms of ABOUT US, International, Schedule of Classes, etc.
- Designing a layout with the email template that was 600 pixels across
- Working with the Designer until the template was good enough over the course of a week
No
Again we got into ROBLY because of its competitive edge. We are not that big of a company to go for Premium anything. Period.
Yes
We did not like the issue with the new firmware that was rolled out in APRIL. There were too many unstable issues with the beta release initially. We were able to remedy the problems but we had to go back to the previous firmware because we lost our email campaign work and the service did not auto-save.
This was the case...When we asked for an h-tag CUSTOMER SERVICE specialist to implement a CODE line on our HOME PAGE html on the back-end to minimize spam-blockers from preventing emails to be delivered to our subscriber base (and be marked as SOFT or HARD bounces). They came through on that front
- Using the Library and linking images that are readily accessible for future usage and re-usage.
- Using the 2 subject line options for OPEN GEN campaigns.
- Tracking what subscribers are clicking on and what emails are getting a lot of clicks and which ones are not.
- Tracking people in the network by assigning them different groupings.
- testing the email and sending it out mobile responsively on an incremental basis through A.I. Sending over a 6-12 hour duration to minimize SPAM blocks and maximum readability.
- A/B sending and testing campaigns from a birds-eye seems cumbersome.
- Sending out emails that are not mobile responsive and being limited by the limited choices of what few templates are readily available.
- Putting LOGO Pictures that are not calibrated well in a campaign. We need a way to pace LOGOs in a campaign so that they place in the HEADER of the email easily (not treated like a regular image).
- Assigning descriptions (CAPTIONS) as titles on IMAGES.
- Tweaking and re-sizing BUTTONS in terms of placement in the body of an email campaign.
Yes
MOBILE RESPONSIVE templates are limited in terms of what is available to use. There is not a whole lot of choices to choose from. We continually use only a few select options.
