Overall Satisfaction with PFL Direct Mail Platform

We used the PFL Direct Mail Platform to trigger welcome enablement kits to our practitioner base during their onboarding journey. The problem we initially had was that we didn't have a streamlined way of sending printed marketing materials as one organized kit for a select group of our customer base... PFL was able to offer a solution that could automate the production while 'surprising and delighting' our customers who weren't expecting a welcome kit in the first place.
  • Communication - weekly catch-up meetings meant we had a consistent communication channel!
  • Openness - they're open for honest feedback and ideas for improvement.
  • Design flexibility - the printed material assets, and items, were highly customizable.
  • Timing - it took months for a BD enterprise solution to transpire, and we're still waiting for a final pitch deck / wow-factor presentation to this day, even though we had asked for the solution back in August.
  • Technical capabilities - Reporting could improve (the way reports are generated and certain fields aren't separated in Excel sheets, for example), and there are limitations to the PMC that aren't a perfect 'unicorn' solution to what we need as a business.
  • Return policy - we lost several kits - for various reasons, but it'd be great if there was a contingency plan or if you offered a way to credit those kits.
Yes! The webhooks between Iterable and PFL made it possible to do an automated process when triggering and enabling the end of the 500 welcome kits! Otherwise, it would've been extremely manual.

Do you think PFL Direct Mail Platform delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with PFL Direct Mail Platform's feature set?

Yes

Did PFL Direct Mail Platform live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of PFL Direct Mail Platform go as expected?

No

Would you buy PFL Direct Mail Platform again?

Yes

The reason it's not a seven or above is purely because of the timing of a solution we had requested originally back in August 2023. It's now February 2024, and we're waiting for a wow-factor pitch deck. Previously, we only received a demo recording and an order form quote. These truthfully aren't helpful enough to convince and sway our senior leaders into spending the $35k+ investment into the PMC.
