  • Create emails.
  • Build lists.
  • Responsive email.
  • Tell you if your email will be flagged for spam.
  • The reporting features could be more robust and provide better reports. Items such as being able to see who forwarded an email, duration of email viewed and an overlay of the clicks on the actual email.
  • The price point could be lower or comparable to other EMS providers.
  • Neither, It was used to send out member communications.
The reporting features and cost aren't on par with some other providers out there that have very robust reporting and good price points for bulk emails.
Ask for pricing for bulk emails, social emails, easy to configure and build lists

Product Usage

2 - We send out member communications about what's going on within the association. We typically sent out two emails a week talking about telecommunication issues that were in the FCC that week or about a broadband topic from our technology expert on telecommunications. Occasionally we would send out emails to the CEOs of the member companies with items we got passed on Capitol Hill.

  • Send out our yearly holiday card.
  • We are currently migrating out of BH to use a new platform that has more robust analytics. In the past we utilized BH for small email blasts and Xert for our large email database because of the cost. We are in the process of migrating to Informz because the cost is a lot lower with them compared to BH and Xert.

Evaluation and Selection

  • Xert
When BH was chosen, we still used Xert to send out our marketing emails because of the sheer size of the list and the volume of emails we had.
