A few words about SmartFocus
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use SmartFocus to send our newsletter campaigns. As we are quite busy (around 3-4 campaigns/week across 7 different websites) we need a system that will allow us to deliver what is necessary. SmartFocus also has the functionality to manage transactional emails (so, all the order confirmation emails could be also sent and managed through the system).
Pros
- Push newsletters to customers
- Managing campaigns
- Drag and drop builder
Cons
- Drag and drop builder
- 2-factor authentication
- Internal integration (the system is too big for an average user what make it hard to use sometimes)
- Image gallery reliability
Likelihood to Recommend
Before we used SmartFocus we had a simple bespoke drag and drop builder, where we could add as many "templates" as we wanted. In SmartFocus, the drag and drop builder is smoother and better, but you can't add your own templates. If you are happy with the provided templates, then building newsletters will be really good experience.
