- Business Problems Solved
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.

(1-13 of 13)Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
In addition to using Vertical Response personally I also manage email marketing for clients that already use Mailchimp, Robly and Constant Contact. While most of these platforms all offer similar features I choose Vertical Response first if the client does not have a platform in place. Typically I am also teaching the client how to use this tool and the Vertical Response visual interface is very easy for me to teach a client how to navigate and create their own campaigns.

No Frills. Great for ad-hoc campaigns outside of a primary CRM
Vertical Response is most akin to Constant Contact. No frills, agile, easy to use. The one advantage that it has over Constant Contact is that you don't need to be locked into a month-to-month plan, which is what I needed. Salesforce and HubSpot aren't fair comparisons--these solutions are much more robust than their respective email tools, so a side-by-side analysis isn't a fair comparison.

Works well
This was the first bulk emailing system that I tried. I looked into Constant Contact.

Vertical Response is a Great Tool
I think Vertical Response is a lot more user-friendly than Constant Contact and allows for more features that Constant Contact does not. I like the email WYSIWYG feature better on here and it allows us to preview our emails before we send them out to our entire customer base.

Vertical Response review
Vertical Response was already in use when I joined the organization. It was selected for affordability. In comparison to other email marketing platforms, it was harder to use for an end user, but we were able to hire a developer to create some custom templates, and that worked well.

Vertical Response the ultimate tool for start-ups

Positive Response for Vertical Response
I am a true believer in Vertical Response. So much so, that this is the first and only software I have used for this type of marketing. When this program was first launched it was a godsend - truly innovative for its time. And in the years since, I have continued to implement this software at three other winery properties because there is nothing else I want to use.

ExactTarget, MailChimp. I liked VerticalResponse's integration with Salesforce. We used MailChimp before and it says on their website they have integration with Salesforce, but we were never able to find it on the Force.com website.
For ExactTarget, we used that in the past and it did integrate with Salesforce. Someone else evaluated and selected that. Unfortunately, I can't remember why we didn't go back to ExactTarget. It may have been price. Either way, of the 3 we selected Vertical Response.

Constant Contact, MailChimp. Vertical Response covered our basic needs - contacts management, newsletter and marketing email activity analysis, templates/wizards, etc. and was free for non-profits up to 10,000 contacts/month.
