Overall Satisfaction with iContact

  • iContact makes it easy to send organized and professional looking emails to our network.
  • Clean data layout - bounces, no info, unsubscribe, etc.
  • Templates for all occasions and the flexibility to use HTML to edit the templates.
  • Segments are not user friendly. Need to improve by allowing multiple selections i.e. for state you should be able to say "Either NY, NJ, PA, or CT".
  • Photo editing - should be able to resize when uploading.
  • Uniform HTML layout across outlook, gmail, etc.
  • Our advocacy efforts have been enhanced while engaging our members to contact their political representatives.
  • Our conference marketing and registration efforts have been increased leading directly to more revenue.
  • We have been able to engage new audiences through message forwarding.
iContact is friendly and effective. Great customer service always patient and available to work through issues. Good price point.
How many users? How many emails per month? Do you know HTML? How are your lists segmented? How often will you be sending emails? How many different formats do you need?
