Vertical Response has been the go-to solution for email marketing for over 7 years, catering to a wide range of users, including businesses, non-profit organizations, and educational institutions. Users have praised the platform for its cost efficiency and user-friendly interface, accommodating even those with limited coding experience. It has proven to be a valuable tool for stretching the marketing budget of charities, where every dollar counts. With Vertical Response Non-Profit program, organizations have been able to effectively communicate with their supporters and reach a larger audience without incurring significant costs.

One of the primary use cases of Vertical Response is sending out mass emails to segmented lists. Users have utilized this feature to tailor their communication according to specific target audiences or campaigns. For instance, during election season, Vertical Response was invaluable in sending mass emails to campaign supporters on an extremely tight budget. Additionally, it has been extensively used as a bulk email program by businesses and educational institutions alike, facilitating the dissemination of surveys, newsletters, and e-blasts to their databases.

Moreover, Vertical Response has addressed the needs of users across multiple customer channels. In higher education settings, where Salesforce fell short in sending mixed audience emails encompassing students and external partners, Vertical Response has filled the void. Furthermore, it offers a centralized data system for managing bounced contacts, mailable contacts, and unsubscribed recipients while allowing users to send emergency e-blasts promptly.

Overall, Vertical Response has proven to be a reliable platform that caters to various industries and organizations with different communication requirements. Its affordability, ease of use, and versatility make it a valuable asset for any entity looking to streamline their email marketing efforts.

  • Manages bulk email campaigns
  • Designs and delivers emails in industry standard format.
  • Excellent reporting metrics
  • Vertical Response is an excellent service.
I think bulk mail creation, distribution and reporting has been refined to the point that most anyone can use any of the widely available tools to get excellent results. I have passed VR's marketing materials to colleagues.
  • Vertical Response does the job of managing emails and campaigns very well.
VR, MailChimp and Constant Contact all provide similar experience and provide the same function. I use many different tools.
Vertical Response used to be the Gold standard for bulk email design and campaign management. Competitors, (MailChimp, Constant Contact, etc. ) now all provide comparable services and similar pricing. There's no clear advantage to any of them.
Yes
I am well versed in MailChimp, Constant Contact, EventBrite and Vertical Response. They are all comparable.

  • Small business email.
  • Salesforce integration.
  • Customer Support.
  • Email deliverability.
  • Email Reporting.
  • Google Integration.
  • Salesforce Integration.
  • Completeness of vision.
  • Lead conversion improved.
  • Email delivery improved.
Small business tool with limited functionality to meet the business's needs as it grew. A great starter tool; but ultimately one will likely move on to more complex tools.
What functionality do you need? What information do you need to know after every email send? Do you want automation? Do you want behavioral information? What kind of reporting should be available? What kinds of integration do you nee? How many leads do you have? How many emails do you expect to send per month?

  • Getting Salesforce integration to work
Salesforce integration never worked right. We had to abandon.
No
Too small of a product to need such support when you can search the internet. There are better places to spend money.
Support did a good job getting back to me on my needs. There was one issue where I was given an "I don't know" which was very frustrating at the time because it really mattered.
No
I cant think of a singular instance. 99% of the time they were solid and on top of issues and very helpful.
  • Guided email creation
  • Guided email delivery
  • Easy to import and manage leads
  • SFDC integration was weak but this could be out of date knowledge
Sweet and simple. Nothing more to say here.
