Mailchimp

Warum ReachMail gewählt wurde

Outlook could not handle 2500 addresses easily & Mailchimp was too expensive for this number of members.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu ReachMail

Reach Mail was less expensive

Vorteile

List management and clean-up is very helpful, as is the ease of importing new addresses as clients ask to be included. Makes creating each email newsletter easy and consistent since you can duplicate the entire email and just re-do the new information. The reporting feature is very helpful.

Nachteile

Sometimes the steps to take in creating a new campaign can be confusing, and there is no easy way to go back and correct typos etc. in labels. I dislike that some of the earliest campaigns are no longer accessible.

Mailchimp

Warum ReachMail gewählt wurde

Too difficult to manage things.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu ReachMail

Does what I need it to do in the most effective way at the best rate.

Vorteile

5,000 subscribers (better than most of its competitors). The reporting and sending process is straightforward.

The site is basically good to use. The list cleaning system is particularly useful. It's always tricky to keep lists clean. If the system had a way of recognising spam traps that may inadvertently appear it would be a major step forward.

Nachteile

Deleting the entire list of subscribers when desired is cumbersome. You have to copy and create another list and fiddle around.

The WYSIWYG editor is not as good or sophisticated as some. I'm using it now (taken a break to fill in this survey). I can't insert margins around photographs (you enter figures, try to do it and image vanishes). Boxes appear and you can't get rid of them. A row of boxed symbols has now appeared which is new to me. They just get in the way. Take a leaf out of Mailchimp.

It's also hard to check and see if the autoresponder works. It does, because a list is added to, but to amend it is not easy. And it's impossible to actually SEE a form you already created.

Vorteile

Give me an afforable and creative way to connect with our newspaper's contributors; reporters, writers, advertisers, and community

Nachteile

I did have a challenge with the clean sweep feature... However, Customer Service was quick to assist and resolve. Very satified.

Vorteile

Templates and user-friendly features make it possible for anyone to create great communication without any programming background.

Nachteile

I sometimes have difficulty with formatting text, and controlling the spacing details in the rows. Perhaps this is a lack of training and expertise on my part - but that is a frustration for me.

Vorteile

Love how easy it is to use templates to create eye-catching newsletters. I also love that I can easily clean up my mailing list regularly.

Nachteile

Not many cons. I really enjoy using this software.

Vorteile

These folks know what they’re doing. My newsletter is the core of my marketing. As the sole income for my household, my marketing has to be solid, so I’m not going to mess around with anything less than the best newsletter service. Sending newsletters through ReachMail is easy, intuitive, and top of the line. But if you do have a problem, customer support knows how to explain things to non-technical folks. Customer support treat me like a princess. They even added a feature to one page to remedy a problem I was having with that page. They care about their customers. ReachMail Features (or at least, these are the ones I know they have): WYSIWYG Email Editor, Template Management, Mobile Optimized Emails, Dynamic Content, Subscribe/Unsubscribe, Mailing List Management, Drip Campaigns, Auto-Responders, Image Library, A/B Testing, Customer Surveys, CAN SPAM Compliance, Reporting/Analytics.

Nachteile

No cons, they’re that good! Anyone who’s dealt with mass mailings on a regular basis knows what a pain it can be. I’m so grateful to ReachMail for making it easy for me instead. Sure, sometimes they hit a bump because nothing is perfect, but they’re quick to take care of it, and don’t make excuses.

Vorteile

Some of the new design features are easy to use and the email program seems to get emails out very well and not end up in spam folders.

Nachteile

The design features have some quirks and I do have a hard time designing more complicated emails like newsletters - even using their own templates - it seems to throw in weird lines and breaks. I've had better luck with more complicated design emails using constant contact or other programs

Vorteile

We are a medium nonprofit company, and ReachMail is the most affordable solution for our company's mass emailing needs. I shopped around other services and Reachmail beat their price by quite a lot! Also when I have had questions there has always been a live person to talk to with prompt answers.

Nachteile

I still find it confusing when attaching documents to an email and using some of the templates. I mainly just create my own but it would be nice to have some templates that have themes for holidays and the like already included.

Vorteile

List management and unsubscriber handling make it powerful and convenient. Customer service is great and helps out whenever help is needed (especially when I was trying to wrap my head around SPF, DKIM, and DMARC).

Nachteile

HTML editing is cumbersome and doesn't always "take"; I have to paste my changes to notepad in case the changes don't stick. Preheader text is removed whenever an email is duplicated. It would be nice if lists could be grouped in multiple ways (maybe they can I just don't know how); we have a ton of lists and going through them every time for a monthly email can be time consuming and prone to error.

Vorteile

We are a religious not for profit organization. Costs must be kept to a minimum. This software has been the ideal answer to the volume and frequency of my communications. I have not had to pay anything at all for this service and I do not even come close to exceeding the limits that would trigger costs.

Nachteile

I don't know if it is the software's fault, but any emails sent to roadrunner.com addresses always bounce, so I have had to remove them from my database. Your tech help tried to assist some time ago, but to no avail. I think it is a roadrunner problem.

Vorteile

We use ReachMail for both marketing to reach new students as well as communicate with our parents and students. It works extremely well for both as it is easy to use, customize, and set the time and date we want to sent information out. Price is very affordable which is important for our non-profit youth sports organization.

Nachteile

We do not have any issues with this software. Maybe see more templates to choose from for marketing.

Vorteile

The test emails were most beneficial especially, in the beginning, however, I still use it as a safety. I can review my campaigns before I send them out.

It was not easy to transition at first, but I was given a lot of help via Customer Service.

Nachteile

My boss did not want me to set up the campaigns the way ReachMail was designed to use. The beginning that was difficult as I am not able to set up HTML's.

It took some time to create clear emails that were legible for our contacts.

Vorteile

Reachmail is incredibly easy to use with the ability to set up and send marketing promotions on the fly. I think my favorite aspect of working with Reachmail has been the excellent customer service. They have routinely gone above and beyond to accommodate our needs, offer professional guidance, and customize our account to helps us achieve our goals and optimize our mailing capabilities.

Nachteile

Off the top of my head, I can't think of ways in which Reachmail is lacking. If anything, the major con of working with Reachmail is not taking advantage of all the features and assistance Reachmail offers.

Vorteile

The software is extremely easy to work with and the staff is fantastic, specifically [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN].

Nachteile

We are on dedicated IP addresses as we send volume. I would like to see them switch up the IP's and build the extra price, if any, into my fee structure.

Vorteile

It is easy to use and helps me get the monthly newsletter out to the heart patients we visit daily at our local hospital.

Nachteile

None. So far all is good.
why does this box keep reappearing - I am done.

Vorteile

Easy to send out my weekly column to several thousand clients.

Nachteile

Too complicated to figure out how to use the templates to upgrade the look of my weekly column.

Vorteile

simple to use, and great customer service catered to your needs.

Nachteile

when you add the list, hope there is a way to upload them at once. I have to upload each list file individually and it takes a lot of time for me.

Vorteile

I love the Message builder! Makes it easy to build emails... though I do wish their were easier customization options (changing size of photos, dragging them around, etc.)

Nachteile

I think the list management could be improved. It seems as though there should be easier ways to send or exclude certain domains, soft bounces, etc.

Vorteile

I like that I can easily send mass emails keeping our membership and donors apprised of what is happening at our senior center. I also like that I can construct my emails and schedule to send them at a later date. The customer service is always very helpful and courteous as well.

Nachteile

I do not like the pre loaded templates. I feel they could be more user friendly especially when putting in pictures. Unfortunately, pictures cannot be made into custom sizes with the templates.

Mailchimp

Vorteile

Reachmail is not as well know as some of the others such as constant contact and mailchimp but they are easy to use, great support and free (depending on list size)!

Nachteile

Although I've never asked, I don't believe you can set up a template. However, I don't use this functionality as I always code HTML.

Vorteile

I am the registrar for a cycling event in Virginia called the Tour de Chesapeake. We have grown in numbers and interest to the point, I needed an email service. After much research, I decided to go with Reachmail. I have never regretted my decision. The website is very intuitive and requires very little tutorials or training - they are available if needed but it's likely you won't even need them. Over the years, I've had 2 occasions when I needed to ask a question and sent an email. The responses were swift and very helpful - like over and above my expectations. I highly and enthusiastically recommend Reachmail.

Nachteile

Sincerely, I have not had a problem that hasn't been addressed by very efficient Reachmail staff.

Vorteile

The templates are great and ease of use of the entire software is awesome.

Nachteile

Some of the templates can be difficult to use. I think simplicity could be improved.

Vorteile

Very easy to use and a great value. Like the ability to link in the social media posts with the campaign.

Nachteile

The scaling/cost of email lists is incorrect - it count duplicates as part of the total number and costs more monthly. Also, not sure how to best manage the consolidation as I pull emails for different lists, e.g., california coaches, scouts, etc. which may have the same email.

Vorteile

I love the new ease of creating templates and eblast from the blocks, gallery, etc.

Nachteile

I wish it was easier to manipulate image sizes.
