Overall Satisfaction with Litmus
We use Litmus to streamline email testing, improve personalization, and stay up to date on best practices. With 40–50 emails going out weekly, it’s saved our designer a ton of time by automating QA across devices. We're starting to explore more personalization features like live polls to help boost engagement, though we’ve run into some language limitations. The webinars and articles have also been super helpful—especially around deliverability—and have given us clear steps to improve our email performance.
Pros
- We haven’t explored the personalization features in depth yet, aside from using the Add-to-Calendar option, but we're excited to dig in further. Tools like live polls offer an easy way to boost engagement in our product marketing emails, and we see a lot of potential in using these templates to enhance personalization moving forward.
- Litmus’ continuing education resources have been really helpful. I recently read an article on email deliverability that offered practical insights my team can apply moving forward. I especially appreciate how Litmus uses real examples and stats from the brands they work with—it makes the content feel actionable and relevant.
- Online Training.
Cons
- Would love to see the font library expanded to support languages like Chinese, especially for personalized features. Adding more language support would make these features more usable across our markets.
- The platform isn’t as intuitive as I’d like. It might just be me, but having a quick pop-up guide or occasional tips on how to use certain features would be super helpful—especially for newer users or anyone not in it every day.
- It would be super helpful to have a built-in image resizing option in Litmus when file sizes are too large to upload. This would save us time jumping between tools.
- Litmus has been a huge time-saver for our email designer. We send around 40–50 emails a week in over 10 different markets, so manually testing each one just isn’t realistic. With Litmus, she can skip the testing process and spend more time optimizing our emails for better customer engagement.
- We’re just starting to explore Litmus’ personalization features, and they’re already proving valuable. After identifying a gap in our email personalization, the built-in templates are making it easy to start delivering more tailored, customer-focused content.
- Continuing education through Litmus has been a valuable resource for our team. The articles take a little time to get through, but the insights are always worth it—they’ve helped us turn ideas into real, actionable steps to improve our email strategy and content.
We used the Add-to-Calendar feature for a Convention Save the Date email, and while it worked, we ran into issues with localization. The button text couldn’t be customized in traditional Chinese, so we had to manually design it in Photoshop and link it ourselves. It worked, but more language flexibility would make the feature much stronger.
