Overall Satisfaction with emfluence Marketing Platform

We use the emfluence platform for our entire organization. We send out marketing emails, monthly emails, participants emails, surveys and we use the pages/modules section to place a popup onto our website. The platform helps us easily keep in contact with our participants like at the Kansas City Marathon. We can send them details leading up to race day and then afterward follow up with surveys and deals. We also use the social media scheduling calendar for our Twitter and Facebook accounts.
  • The social media scheduling is a great way to schedule posts ahead of time, even months in advance.
  • Our email templates were created to match our website and we have access to edit them to customize even further.
  • The new drag and drop is a lot easier to move blocks of text around within the email template.
  • We change out the website popup frequently on our website and it is easy to change with the emfluence platform's pages/modules tool.
  • The survey tool on the emfluence platform are easy to use and easy to use and easy to pull the results.
  • I do have issues sometimes when making a website popup. I specify certain measurements of my popup yet when it shows up on my website, the graphic doesn't adjust and I have a bunch of white space. But that could also be my website.
  • When adding a new contact into the contact section, once you hit save, the contact information stays on the screen instead of an empty contact profile so you can immediately add the next person.
  • Sometimes when I update a template, The unsubscribe link will link to my email address instead of the person the email is being sent to.
  • We always have a very high rate of open percentage, which usually lead to more registration. We can track that we can have a large uptick in registrations after certain emails have been sent.
  • The more results we can gather like social media clicks, shares and likes and the email opens we can share with sponsors, the more they will come back as a sponsor and also possibly be more investing in our organization.
We have used Constant Contact and with the issues we had with them lead us to turn to emfluence 8 years ago. The emfluence platform is easier to use, and we like that they are a Kansas City based company. We are able to visit their staff at the office and they have come to our office for meetings. It's been a very personal relationship with their staff and I have become friends with some of their staff over the years. Even though we are a small organization, they make us feel like we are their top client. I always get a quick response when I email support and they handle any issues or questions withing 24/48 hours, sometimes even sooner.
If an organization sends out a lot of marketing emails and has social media campaigns to go along with the emails, you can manage all of it all in one platform. This makes it easier to monitor. Each email and social media posts can be assigned to a certain campaign which makes it great to gather results to share with a sponsor when they want to know if their sponsorship dollars are being used correctly and their contract is being met.

If an organization doesn't have a need to send out marketing emails, then it might not be that great of a fit.
