Customer Advocacy

Overall Satisfaction with Influitive

Update: After Influitive was aquired by Jigsaw in Dec 2023, things have gone downhill. They removed all easy access support channels, and support now starts with an AI bot. They also increased our renewal contract substantially. In our organization, Influitive serves as a dynamic hub for cultivating and mobilizing our brand advocates. We leverage the platform to address key business problems, primarily centered around community engagement, content amplification, and customer feedback. Influitive allows us to build a thriving advocate community, fostering a sense of loyalty and turning satisfied customers into vocal promoters. The platform facilitates seamless content sharing among our advocates, amplifying our success stories and testimonials to a broader audience. Moreover, Influitive serves as a valuable feedback mechanism, enabling us to collect real-time insights from our advocates. This input, coupled with the platform's gamification features, encourages active participation and enhances the overall customer experience. The scope of our use case encompasses community building, content dissemination, and data-driven decision-making, making Influitive an integral part of our customer engagement strategy. Overall, Influitive empowers us to transform customers into advocates, driving organic growth and fortifying our brand presence.

Pros

  • Community Engagement
  • Rewards and Recognition
  • Content Amplification

Cons

  • User interface could have better functionality
  • More AI features
  • Could use more integrations with other platforms
  • Decreased customer churn
  • Amplified Marketing Reach
After our renewal, it has been hard to contact support for any issues that arise such as a password reset for our advocates. We have had many issues come up, created support tickets, and most of these issues are still not resolved today. We found working with the vendor after the sale to be highly positive and efficient. Their team demonstrated a strong commitment to customer satisfaction and was responsive to our needs. While there were some minor areas for improvement, overall, the post-sale support and collaboration contributed significantly to our positive experience with the vendor.

Would you buy Influitive again?

No

After the aquisition, I would no longer recommend Influitive. Identifying and Onboarding Advocates:
Leverage Influitive to identify advocates within your customer base who are not only satisfied with your products but also willing to serve as references. Use automated surveys and engagement metrics to pinpoint those most likely to participate. Not well suited for Static or One-time Campaigns:
If your advocacy initiatives are primarily static or one-time campaigns without a continuous engagement strategy, Influitive's full potential may not be realized. The platform is designed for ongoing, dynamic engagement rather than sporadic efforts.

Difficult to get immediate help
Support doesn't seem to care
Slow Initial Response
We did not opt for premium support, as it comes at a significantly higher cost. The support we received prior to the acquisition was excellent. However, after the acquisition, Customer Success Managers (CSMs) were only available with premium support packages, which were almost double the cost of our previous renewal.
Yes - Most of the issues we have with influitive, we are still facing today. The platform has also gone down a couple of times, without notice.
