Tiffani Z.: Hi, my name is Tiffani. I work for a large church as the small group coordinator, and I give TXT180 a four out of five stars. We were looking for a way to communicate more with our team, and so we considered a lot of different texting options. We put a few side-by-side, compared prices and really the volume of texting that we'll be doing, and chose TXT180 because it truly offered the package we were looking for. We chose texts TXT180 for our texting service because it really offered the best package for what we were looking for. We also found that it was the most cost effective on the market, and we liked that you could pay by text. You could purchase how many texts you wanted to send, and then purchase more later if you needed them. Integrating TXT180 into our communication program was quite easy. They helped us walk along to set everything up and choose a number that our team members could text into to get added to our text list. It's been very easy to add new people, and we've really found it simple to use from the user end, as far as sending and setting up. If you're considering signing onto TXT180 as your texting service, I would highly recommend them, especially for smaller organizations, just working on building your texting list. They also have great customer service. They seem to be a smaller company, so they're very responsive and personable, and they really give you a lot of great flexibility while being cost effective.

Jordan B.: Hi, I'm Jordan, vice president. And I give Emma a three out of five stars. For more reviews like this, click below. We were using Constant Contact before for our email client management and for marketing efforts, and then we switched over to Emma at that point. We chose Emma because it was referred to us by a marketing company that we were tied in with. And they had had some success with utilizing Emma in the past. And there were a couple of features that they recommended us utilize that Constant Contact just didn't have. Getting started with Emma was okay. It was a simple-ish process. You really need to have a little bit more advanced knowledge of how to work in the email marketing space, as well as maybe some coding background for just implementing it off the ground. I think the best piece of advice I'd give somebody just getting started with Emma is just make sure you know if you're an advanced user or not. If you're just trying to do some simple marketing messages, you may want to go with one of the other programs, like Constant Contact, out of the marketplace. Otherwise, if you need to be able to do a little bit more with your marketing messaging and get in the nuts and bolts of it, then you can retool and do everything you need to do with Emma.
