Designed for businesses of all types and sizes, it is a cloud-based email marketing solution that assists with creating custom professional email addresses, sending bulk emails, and more.
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 great options to take good experiences with Gmail. We created organisational email addresses via Gmail and It's really helpful for our organisational works.
I dislike how hard it is to find my spam folder - I also dislike how many emerald end up in my spam folder.
I like this platform much better than Microsoft Outlook; this software's integration with the multiple offerings of Google allow for great ease of use and admin implementation.
The only con I have is that at times emails can get lost or put in the spam folder and they shouldn't have been. So you have to go look for the email which can take time out of your busy day.
I also love that Gmail is liked to my google classroom because I get an email when a student turns in work and it helps me to be more time-efficient with grading.
Logging in and out can be a bit painfully trouble Some and the delays can be frustrating depends I assume on your connection speed but not sure.
Great email platform as you can categorize emails into folders so it is easier to keep you email clean and organized. The follow up prompt is great as well when you receive so many emails in a day.
There is nothing that I really don't like about Gmail specifically. I hate receiving emails in my Spam folder but that is not a Gmail problem.
Kayla B.: My name's Kayla. I'm a communication and speech coach and a solopreneur, and I give Gmail a rating of five out of five. Before using Gmail, I used Yahoo Mail, which was a much messier experience, from a business perspective. And I had a lot of issues with spam, people not receiving my messages, and my business emails weren't perceived or taken as seriously, which is why I made this shift eventually over to Gmail. Gmail was super easy to categorize and label different sections of groups that I have to communicate with. I have a lot of recurring coaching clients that go into specific tabs or labels, so it's very easy to communicate with them very quickly and efficiently. I also find just the user-friendliness of Gmail is much, much easier, and it's very neat. I was very distracted by Yahoo Mail visually, with a lot of the things that would pop up on the screen. And with Gmail, I never get distracted or off-focus. Gmail was very easy to get started with, but it probably wasn't until a couple of years after using Gmail that I realized there were a lot more settings that I could take advantage of. So, after playing a little bit more with some more advanced settings, I was able to take a lot more advantage of more services that Gmail offers. I would recommend watching a couple of YouTube videos about the best recommendations you could do with Gmail for your business and see some of the other hacks that other entrepreneurs have used to make their Gmail much more organized and to create a very professional look within their emails, especially within their signatures. That was very helpful for me.
