EmailOctopus

Ideal for my simple needs

Opmerkingen: I had some good email support when I enquired about reCaptcha

Pluspunten:

My needs are small: a couple of subscriber lists with some automated emails, and a few 'campaign' emails per year. I was pleasantly surprised how Email Octopus was simple to set up, and I didn't have to pay out-of-proportion for my needs.

Minpunten:

I suspect a big company with fancy marketing might want more functions, but the simplicity is precisely what I'm enjoying with EmailOctopus, after using another package that took me hours of learning and support, and whose price shot up as soon as I wanted to send an automated 'welcome' email to subscribers.

The most cost effective email solution with no hidden bolt on extras

Opmerkingen: Ace. Pull your CSV files through already and close your mind-numbing, overcharging, 2-audience-limited mail company and make the switch. If you don't like it you're probably a bot.

Pluspunten:

straight out of the box, the customer service is top-notch, real people, detailed responses not generic bs, and such an easy user interface you don't have to hunt for hidden features. fast, effective, reporting is top-notch. it takes care of everything without the expense of Mailchimp... actually, it makes Mailchimp look prehistoric in comparison.

Minpunten:

Really nothing has popped up that's been an issue, no extra charges, nothing.

A review of Email Octopus

Pluspunten:

It is easy to use. Offers in-depth analytics.

Minpunten:

Adding rows in an emailer is a task. Multi-column rows don't display properly on mobile.

A good affordable email marketing tool

Opmerkingen: Overall, I had a good experience, but I really wish that they fix their email builder, and it's buggy.

Pluspunten:

Even though EmailOctopus(EO) is a relatively new tool but it has all the features you will expect it to have. The best this is that it's really affordable.

Minpunten:

The major problem with EmailOctopus is there UI of email builder. It's really bad and buggy. Also if you try pasting content from Ms-Word or Notion then it changes the formatting which is troublesome to edit. Also if you want to run referral programs for your newsletter then EmailOctopus has very few integrations. They also pushed new update for their forms which makes it compulsory to use it with iframe and not custom html tags. That makes it very static and you can't use your own designs.

Fantastic Newsletter Publishing and List Maintenance Service

Opmerkingen: After a service I'd been using for eight years started developing functionality problems, I checked out competitors and came to EmailOctopus on the basis of a recommendation. Haven't looked back.

Pluspunten:

Everything WORKS. It's easy to import lists. It's easy to set up lead capture pages to get new subscribers. It's easy to create newsletter templates. It's easy to publish campaigns and get them delivered.

Minpunten:

There's nothing I dislike about EmailOctopus, but if I could suggest one feature it would be social media account linking as opposed to having to manually post links to campaign emails to Facebook and Twitter.
