We offer a complete suite of simple-yet-powerful solutions, scaled and customized for small and large companies.
It is extremely easy to use: when I started, I knew absolutely nothing and I learned so much from them. The service is always reliable and the interface is so fun, which I love.
The templates designs are very poor and customizing a template (colour, layout, etc) is too limited and difficult.
Great tech support, very responsive, although I very rarely need to reach out to them. I teach marketing to others and for those who are just getting into email marketing, I often recommend MadMimi.
There's been ZERO updates that I recall in the past 5 years using Mad Mimi. It seems that Go Daddy bought them out and they have no plans to update the service in any way.
Loved how super easy MadMimi is to set up and use, and how clean and crisp the emails are visually. I used this software for four years and always got compliments on my email designs.
Similarly, if you need "columns," you can fake it by creating a table in a text section, etc.
Unlike many other email marketing companies, they also make it fun and have very quick, friendly, and helpful customer service reps.
Absolutely nothing, as you get what you pay for and we get more.
Their ability to integrate with other systems to give us end users a pleasant experience, goes without saying because to me they're the best in the market.
All the emails go to the promotion section and there is no way to go inbox not to get lost.
I loved the 500 free subscriber plan and also how easy it is to set-up marketing automations. I love the ability to send broadcasts at the best time the recipient would open them.
Now I ve to block my card with all the problems that this issue will provoque to me. The customer service was slow and not efficient.
This is a very affordable and straightforward software that is great for sending bulk email to your audiences. I enjoyed the simple UI and specific features that allowed me to meet all my needs.
It seems very b2b focused...so b2c recipients with Gmail or Yahoo addresses get blocked. They seem very worried about getting shut down if they allow users to include emails with a hint of concern.
I love their consistency through the years and they have made their affiliates alot of money - recurring income is amazing with them.
Getresponse do have two problems i think they should look at. The loading time is slow.
Rebecca: Hi, my name's Rebecca. I'm the owner of Becca Finance and I give GetResponse a five. I actually moved to GetResponse from MailChimp and I did that because MailChimp just didn't have the ease of use. There was a lot of clicking around I had to do to figure out how to use it. And then when I did set up my first and second campaigns with them, I immediately got email saying that everything I'd done was wrong for whatever reason. So it was super confusing to figure out how to use in the first place and then how to use it correctly, more importantly than all. GetResponse is different in that it's completely user-friendly, you can get to it right away. And right away when you sign up you get AI powered newsletter and a landing page among other things, which makes it so to start your business pretty immediately. You can go ahead and use those while you figure out how you want to present yourself differently, if at all. And when you go to set up your campaigns, one, they're super easy. Each of the steps is listed simply and right when you go to see what your campaigns are, it's really easy to see which ones you have, what day of the process they're in, and some simple analytics, you can see an open rate and a click rate all right on the same page. So a lot of the main reason actually, that I signed up for GetResponse was the ease of use. I didn't have to go somewhere and figure out how to set it up. All I had to really think about was what I wanted my email to say, all of them actually. And even if I had a hard time with that, writing it out per se, they have AI powered stuff so that I could set up the emails quickly and easily and just adjust what the AI had set up or written for me. And it was nice to see because I could see my different campaigns and see what analytics were, simple ones. I could see the open rate, the click rate, where I was in the process. And a really good one. How many emails had actually been sent? So did it send to all of my contacts? Was it able to send to all of them or half of them or just a few? I could see all that right on one page before needing to delve in to see further if I needed to. GetResponse was super easy to get started. Right when I signed up, I got 30 days. You get 30 days for free to test it out, which for a brand new business is fantastic. And right when you sign up you get AI powered different items. The highlights for me were a landing page and a newsletter, which I could just use, maybe tweak a little bit, maybe change into my brand colors and send out or set up just immediately, which was wonderful. I definitely think anyone thinking of getting GetResponse is going to be completely blown away just by how simple it is to use the fact that you do get it for free for 30 days. And when you do upgrade, because you will, because you're going to say, "Heck yeah, I'm doing this more than 30 days." You're going to find that the pricing is really great, because even if, let's say you don't have 50,000 people on your email list to start, you don't want to pay those prices still, right? So they've got different tiers where let's say, you've only got a thousand people signed up to your email list, well great, you can pay a much lower price that matches that thousand email list per situation. As opposed to 50,000, which could be a hundred dollars a month. So it's really great for a new business for sure.
