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.
I have found it very easy with nice templates to create some very awesome landing pages. I also have an email sign up link for my website to take people to my freebie/signup.
They make it extremely difficult to get anything out of it, with all their technical jargon and crap. Doing everything they can to make it extremely hard to use without having to pay for it.
I like the features this has - the visual automations are great. It gives you the ability to customize how your subscribers will go through your funnel.
This is the worst support I've had. They have a chat and you get switched from person to person over the course of multiple days.
It's easy to set up and easy to get a hang of. It also has some pretty amazing features that makes it the perfect fit for my business.
I think this product has hurt my business, cost me money and soured my reputation.
Convertkit is super easy to use - I love that I can login and quickly see a snapshot of my subscribers list growth.
Most likely, I'll stick with ConvertKit for the long haul.
Susie I.: Hi, I'm Susie. I'm the founder of a community for startups and I am a solopreneur, and I give ConvertKit a five out of five star rating. Before ConvertKit, we had MailChimp, and it was just really complicated and required just a bigger effort than I wanted to put into it. ConvertKit is so simple, it almost looks like you're missing something at first, but then you realize that they've really simplified the process and the dashboard to make everything that you want really easily accessible. So once we saw that, it was a no-brainer to switch over. We chose to use ConvertKit because it's super-easy to use and it seems to be the quickest and easiest platform to broadcast the message out to very specific audiences in very specific ways. So, for example, we had to send out one massive announcement outside of the regular email flow, and so utilizing a broadcast feature was really useful for that. The email capture landing page option that they offer took 15 minutes to set up and has gotten us phenomenal results with a 100% success rate because it works really well into our direct outreach strategy. So these things just make it really worthwhile, and especially that all of this is so quick and easy to utilize and implement, that's why we really like using ConvertKit. The only issue with getting started with ConvertKit is that coming from MailChimp, which has so many bells and whistles and features and pages, and you have to find everything that you need, ConvertKit, the dashboard is so simply laid out. Your metrics are right there as soon as you pop in there, which is exactly what you're looking for on a daily basis, and that's right in front of you, and nothing feels hidden or complicated or hard to figure out. Once you just poke around through a couple of areas, you learn it very quickly and it's super-easy to implement. I would say go in with an open mind and a strategy and really just start playing around with it. The dashboard is easy to follow, and just start clicking through things and finding things and experimenting. And don't shy away from using things like their landing pages, especially to capture email, because it's super quick and easy and gets you great results.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
