Overall Satisfaction with Iterable

At Ollie, we use Iterable to address all of our CRM needs. This consists of all lifecycle marketing including email, SMS, push, and in-app messaging for acquisition, retention, and churn. On the acquisition side, we utilize both blast and drip functions to create an optimized lead journey. Our main drips include abandoned carts and Digioh drip (web pop-up to capture phone number and email). On the retention side, we create onboarding journeys to facilitate with new member experience and ensure our customers have all the info they need to enjoy our product.

Pros

  • Easy to use: Iterable is extremely user-friendly and easy to pick up as a beginner. Everything is formatted in a logical way and I really enjoy all of the articles and lessons that you can learn to become advanced in Iterable.
  • Customer Support: Anytime I need help or have a question, I utilize the Iterable chat function and receive immediate support. The support team is friendly and always eager to help!
  • Up to date with modern tech advances: I really enjoy working with Iterable because they continuously adapt their software to incorporate new tech such as AI

Cons

  • Snippet click tracking: I currently use snippets during sales so that each comm in my drip lets leads know that we have a sale going on. I would love the ability to be able to track conversions and engagement with the snippet directly in Iterable.
  • Dynamic code heat map tracking: When I create campaigns that are hyper-personalized and use dynamic coding all throughout, there are a lot of issues with heat map tracking and click rates! I spoke with my iterable rep and apparently this function is being worked on.
  • Email and SMS are big conversion drivers for us. Iterable is able to positively impact conversion rate through email and SMS at a relatively low cost, improving our net ads and CAC.
  • Brand loyalty - Our business/industry is very complex. We utilize our email/sms/push channels to help educate leads, increase conversion and retain customers. Additionally, it helps boost our brand loyalty through consistent messaging, creative and personalization.
For the most part, Iterable has been an immense help as a tool that allows us to develop campaigns without the aid of engineers/digital/tech. Through scheduling and API we can run most of our drips automatically. Additionally, we can segment, test, and develop personalized campaigns within our CRM team. There are certain functionalities that do require outside help (usually connecting data feeds from our website into Iterable) but for the most part, Iterable makes it very easy to develop campaigns.
The marketing funnel typically starts with our paid and organic channels (Instagram, facebook, tik tok etc). These leads are then directed to our home page where we have an onboarding quiz where the lead will enter their contact info, a pop-up where they can enter their phone number and/or email for an extra discount OR an email capture component at the bottom of our site. We then enter these leads into our different acquisition drips, depending on which channel they came through. On the active subs side, we take our new members and have them go through our 90 day onboarding drip and refer a friend content. We are able to take the info that leads give us during the onboarding quiz to help personalize and optimize their experience.

Do you think Iterable delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Iterable's feature set?

Yes

Did Iterable live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Iterable go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Iterable again?

Yes

I think Iterable does an amazing job at what it was built for - CRM. Email, SMS, push, in-app drips and blasts. I also think Iterable is a great tool to build out different segmentation audiences. One area Iterable is less useful is when it comes to conversion tracking. We outsource to Mixpanel to build dashboards and easy reporting viewing. Iterable does a great job reporting on engagement and heat map click tracking but I think there are opportunities to improve reporting for campaigns and experiments.
