SendBlaster is a cost-effective email marketing solution that allows users to send emails without limits, boosting their marketing strategies. Users have found it to be a valuable tool for managing marketing campaigns with ease. One of its appreciated features is the ability to remove opt-out email addresses before sending emails. The software has been commended for its versatility in inserting pictures, links, HTML, and other elements into emails, making it a flexible email marketing tool. Sales teams have utilized SendBlaster to send bulk newsletters to prospects and current customers. It has also been used as an email blast provider for compliance purposes, such as sending statement message emails, client communications, and advisor notices. Additionally, users have relied on SendBlaster to send meeting and other notices once the setup process was completed correctly. SendBlaster has helped improve email deliverability for users, ensuring that their emails no longer end up in spam folders. The free version of SendBlaster has been praised for its efficiency in quickly and easily sending mass emails. Users have reported the software's reliability, fast performance, and no crashes while sending emails. In various companies and industries, SendBlaster has been widely used for both internal and external email communications across different divisions and departments.

While some users have experienced difficulties in receiving responses or confirming the success of their campaigns after spending long hours sending messages, others have found the program clunky and not ideal for building an active newsletter subscriber base. Some users recommend alternative services like Send Grid for sending emails to a massive list. However, SendBlaster is preferred over other email marketing services due to its flexibility in designing templates, absence of forced footers or standardized unsubscribe verbiage, and options for sending through organizations' own SMTP servers. Users appreciate that there are no ongoing subscription fees or per-message volume fees after purchasing the SendBlaster software. In industries requiring compliance with WORM regulations, such as financial services, SendBlaster has proven useful for email marketing and basic analytics. The software is valued for its ease of use, cost-effectiveness, and lifetime access to the license.

Lifetime subscription option: Users appreciate the convenience of SendBlaster offering a lifetime subscription option, with some reviewers highlighting this feature as a key benefit. This allows them to use the software for an extended period without having to worry about recurring payments or subscriptions.

Sample templates and easy editing: Reviewers find the sample templates provided by SendBlaster to be helpful, mentioning that they can easily customize these templates to fit their specific needs. This feature saves users time and effort in designing email campaigns from scratch.

Ability to send mass emails: Many users value SendBlaster's ability to send email campaigns to a large number of people at once. They find this particularly useful for reaching a wide audience and maximizing the impact of their marketing efforts.

Outdated Platform: Many users have expressed dissatisfaction with the platform, stating that it is outdated compared to competitors like Sendiblue and Mailchimp. They believe that the lack of modern features and functionalities hampers their overall experience, making it difficult for them to keep up with current industry standards.

Difficulty in Email Campaigns: Several reviewers have mentioned struggling with creating email lists and sending out email campaigns using SendBlaster. This has proven to be a cumbersome process for them, causing frustration and inconvenience as they navigate through the platform's complex interface.

Bugs and Lack of Autosave: A significant number of users have encountered various bugs while using SendBlaster, including one major issue - the absence of an autosave feature. As a consequence, they have experienced instances where their work was lost due to unexpected crashes or system failures. This not only leads to wasted time but also adds unnecessary stress and effort on their part to recreate what was previously done.

In the past, I have used Sendblaster to design, send, track, and manage, email marketing campaigns and also email communication to students and other stakeholders in higher education. Sendblaster is the best product I have used for these needs, even better than MailChimp, Constant Contact, etc. There are multiple reasons why Sendblaster is superior. (1) Sendblaster allows good/picky designers to design templates that look beautiful without limits, instead of being limited by the canned templates provided by other services/softwares. (2) Sendblaster does not force the use of footers that mention a bulk email service provider, force standardized "unsubscribe" verbiage, etc. This is very important in higher education and other settings where we *MUST* be able to contact people via email because we have a business relationship with them, and we cannot allow them to unsubscribe. ...but yet we still have the option to provide unsubscribe links when it's appropriate. (3) Sendblaster provides lots of options for sending, so you can use your organization's own SMTP servers, and lots of other sending scenarios/configurations. (4) Once you pay the affordable price for the Sendblaster software, there are no more costs. You don't have to pay ongoing subscription fees or per-message volume fees.
  • Ultimate control over design of templates and messages. Sendblaster provides great templates, but you can also design your own from scratch, with total control.
  • Lots of options for sending your outgoing messages, including your organization's SMTP server, a third party's SMTP server, "direct" sending from your desktop, and many more configuration options.
  • Sendblaster is even easier than Microsoft Word for "merging" data into your outgoing messages.
  • Once you pay the affordable price for the Sendblaster software, there are no more ongoing subscription fees or volume-based per-message charges.
  • The user interface could be more polished. It's very easy to use, but the appearance of the user interface looks a little old fashioned for a desktop software. Of course recipients don't see that interface, so that is not very consequential.
Sendblaster is a great tool for any environment. It's particularly good in organizations that do not have a full featured CRM that manages bulk email marketing and communication. Even if an organization has a great CRM, Sendblaster is still great for those marketing or communication campaigns that go out to recipients who are not already in the CRM, custom groups, bulk sending that you want to keep separate from your other CRM(s), etc.
  • Customer service was greatly improved because of Sendblaster. We were able to design our communication exactly the way we wanted to improve communication effectiveness.
  • Sendblaster helped our brand because email recipients have been very impressed by the polished visual appearance of our outgoing messages, consistent branding and use of logo, wordmark, and other identifiers, etc.
  • We saved a lot of money with Sendblaster. Our organization can send unlimited messages, and the Sendblaster software we paid for places no limit on messages sent. So, since there are no ongoing subscription fees or volume fees after paying for the the software, we saved a lot. Other "software as a service" options would have cost a minimum of $50 per month, and potentially a lot more than that for high-volume email communication.

Sendblaster has all the features of these other alternatives, and its more flexible. Its a lot easier to develop custom messages/templates. There are a lot more sending configurations that are possible. There are no subscriptions fees with Sendblaster, unlike MailChimp and Constant Contact. I haven't found another solution that has all of the same features.

Supremely Easy to Use

Sendblaster is being used by multiple divisions and departments across the company for internal and external email communications. Although the company has another email blasting application, Sendblaster is the preferred email communication tool, due to its ease of use, and, I suppose, cost of licenses. I have used it now for the past three years, and would recommend it to anyone.
  • Rendering HTML source code
  • Managing mailing lists
  • You can control the speed of email broadcasts
  • Ease of importing lists
  • Inability to strip junk code generated from pasting from Microsoft Office applications
  • Cannot export successful send list
  • Does not come with responsive templates
Sendblaster is really, really very easy to use, especially for non-technical people. Problems arise when someone tries to paste content that was formatted in, say, Microsoft Word or Excel, into Sendblaster, then all hell breaks loose. If you have to use it in WYSIWYG mode, then it is important to use just straight paragraphed content.
  • Ease of employee communication delivery
  • More responsive customer service
  • Faster implementation of corporate communication strategies
