Overall Satisfaction with ActiveCampaign
I’m using it for a few different email lists. A lot of things I would have to do manually are eliminated by the provided and custom automation. Another thing I really like is the split testing. You can pick a percentage of your outgoing email list to A/B. Say 10 percent of each. It will then determine a winner, for example of the subject line that gets more opens or clicks. Then it will send the remaining 80 percent to the winner. Very useful.
- Automations
- Reports
- Split tests
- Tagging and keeping a record of a contacts activity.
- Part of the reports on split
- tests can be a little confusing.
- To see a previously sent email’s contents you have to go the report screen and clicks messages. Not very intuitive.
- I feel like the drag and drop email editor could use some work. Especially when you try to move images. Often I have a hard time getting an image to be exactly where I want it.
- It’s allowed me to focus less on my email list maintenance and more on serving my clients.
- With the automations clients get pre-qualified much faster.
- I’ve made more money since I’ve started using Active Campaign.
It may have to do with the plan I was on but Mailchimp was not for me. Not very straightforward. If you’d are doing a very basic small list it could work. Active Campaign comes across as a way more pro solution. As I recall I was on boarded by an employee who showed me a lot of what AC is capable of. I haven’t explored all these features myself but will say it is comprehensive.
