### "Great email service...priced fairly"

July 1, 2022

5.0

I am very pleased with the service so far. The cost is fair, the tools are good and deliverability has been great.

Pros

How easy it has been to get set-up and get emailing again. And the analytics are perfect.

Cons

List loading has been a challenge. It is not hard to do but I have never run into issues having my email not be approved for sending because I just uploaded a few more names. The issue was resolved fairly quickly with customer support and I understand they are concerned with quality practices which I agree is important. I a have a lot more names to pull from our old system to add to our list before I am complete I hope it continues to goes as smoothly. Customer support is responsive and helpful.

Reason for choosing MailerLite

We were originally going to go Mail Chimp but discovered Intuit has pretty much killed it. Email Octopus seemed good but a little basic. I have not honestly used it so I can not say anything bad about it. Same with Moosend. It looks good, but MailerLite won out for the initial test because it was easy to pick-up, had everything we required and the price is good.

### "All very good, once I got going"

September 9, 2020

5.0

Overall, I like the company and the platform. It's not as slick as some of the others I've seen, but I believe it's a great value and gets the job done. I like that there are tutorials on just about everything, and customer support is very quick to respond when I have an issue.

Pros

It truly is a "drag and drop" landing page and website builder! I've worked with other website builders that make it so much more complicated than it needs to be. With MailerLite, I just literally drag a text box from the sidebar and plunk it down wherever I want to on my landing page. It's super easy to move sections up or down, too. It's not 100% customizable, and I've had to adjust my design plans a little here and there. But that's probably a good thing for me, who is easily overwhelmed when I have too many choices. I can spend hours and days on things that just don't matter in the long run if I'm given too many options. MailerLite allows me to customize just enough to make the finished product fit my brand without completely overwhelming me with too many options. Overall, once I figured things out, I found MailerLite to be very easy to use and at an excellent price point!

Cons

I wish there were more templates to choose from! Most everything can be tweaked and customized to fit my brand but I wish there was a template that was closer to what I was looking for from the get-go. I mentioned in the "pros" section that it's not 100% customizable, and found myself wishing here and there that I could just change this one little thing or move this/that over here/there. But like I said, being a bit more confined in the design options is probably a blessing for me and helped me get my landing pages, website and sales pages designed much quicker.

I was extremely disappointed that the free version of ConvertKit did not include automation. It seems to me that automation is a very basic feature of this type of software. I like that MailerLite offers automation along with a few other perks with their free plan.

### "Why MailerLite is a superior product at an incredible price! "

August 17, 2021

5.0

LOVE IT! I will never go back to Mailchimp.

Pros

I love the ease of use. For me, it's like using Active Campaign but WAYYYY more affordable for my small business.

Cons

Sometimes it's difficult to find answers to some of my technical issues on the how-to pages. But, I'm excited to start using the new university.

### "Clean and Easy to Use UI, FREE tier options and features the \*\*BEST\*\* in the industry."

August 23, 2021

5.0

Excellent....no complaints whatsoever. Customer service was prompt and helpful

Pros

How easy it is to use. I logged in and setup a campaign with a subscription form on the landing page I had built in less than 10 minutes. Was able to verify my sending email domain quickly, and test everything with no deliverability options. None of the emails wen to spam, like other platforms I've tested, from my same domain I was using, emails went to spam, or took ages to arrive in the inbox in my test runds.

Cons

No library of images, for example other platforms are connected to pixabay or unsplash, but this is a small price to pay, as their basic pro plan starts at a low fee of $10 per month (or $84 per year) - for 5 landing pages and one website, THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE price.

Switched from

[Wishpond](https://www.capterra.com/p/145745/Wishpond/)

Custom service from Wishpond is slow, but the number one issue, their system to setup a campaign is so \*complicated\*\*, they havent updated the platforms ui or templates for landing pages and forms in a over two years. The company is stagnant when it comes to doing any improvements. All other platforms in this space, continually are improving their website, landing pages, Ui, customer support, features. Wishpond is just dead it seems. What is disappointing, IT HAS GREAT POTENTIAL to be a market leader, because of all the features it has...but users can work on potential.

### "Easy to use and good functionality"

May 27, 2022

5.0

Overall MailerLite is my favourite email marketing software. It's easy to use, has many functions and is intuitive to use so you don't have to fumble around trying to find out to do things! Knowledge base is good and if you need help tech support is there. The Free version has everything you need if you're just starting out and all our accounts started on the free version for a few weeks until we reached the maximum number of contacts.

Pros

The drag and drop interface is easy to use and there's also an HTML option if you want to get really specific with your layout. Automation is so simple compared to other mailing platforms I've used. This is key to our marketing strategy and makes life a lot easier than before! The price is good too. If you have more than one account ( we have 6 ) it's easy to switch between them without having to logout and log back in.

Cons

A minor point but when you set up a campaign and use a template you can't go back and change the template. If the template isn't exactly how you want it you have to start the campaign from scratch. Occasionally it's slow to load, especially the drag and drop interface. But these are both minor points.

Sendinblue's marketing automation was a bit complicated. If a contact unsubscribed from an email in the automation they weren't unsubscribed from general campaigns and vice-versa. Mailchimp's automation wasn't that simple and it's a lot more expensive.

### "MailerLite is great value and enables campaigns to be built and sent easily."

April 17, 2022

5.0

MailerLite has been of excellent value, and its interface is easy to teach and guide others to use.

Pros

The greatest strength of MailerLite is its ease of use. From managing contacts to building automated journeys and emails, things are a breeze even when you are looking to perform more complex actions or segmentations. Things are typically drag and drop. A robust set of APIs are available for more advanced needs.

Cons

I would love to see further development on cross-campaign orchestration, such as requesting automations, multiple entries into automations, etc. There are workarounds that can be used through helper programs, though. I would also love to see folder management in Automations and Campaigns to better organize historical data. Lastly, better and more flexible report exporting would be great to have.

### "MailerLite helps me to run my small business"

February 3, 2023

5.0

The help guidance is great. I recently had a query about something in the automations that I didn't quite understand and \[sensitive content hidden\] in the support team was very helpful.

Pros

I like how quick and easy it is to use. It creates nice clean easy to navigate emails for our campaigns. It integrates really well with other platforms, like WordPress.Lots of nice add-on features like the survey forms and the ability to see click-throughs.I know that our customer data is secure.

Cons

I was going to say that I now have quite a few automation set up and it was feeling a bit busy on the automations management page. But I've literally just realised I can create folders and group ones together by project/activity.

Reason for choosing MailerLite

I tried Mailchimp and hated it. At the time I tried it the user interface was really hard to navigate, they used a lot of iconography instead of actual wording. It has been updated since, but I still feel like it's quite cluttered and overwhelming. The Mailerlite Dashboard is great and allows me to easily see what's happening in my account, without having to go through different pages.

### "Easy to use Email Campaign Builder"

October 9, 2020

5.0

MailerLite is easy to use and their team has been very responsive. For example. when we had to upgrade our license as we had hit our subscriber count, last minute, on a Friday, I was stressing! They got our license updated quickly so I could get my time sensitive email out on time.

Pros

This software was easy to implement and use! We have a period of high traffic where we have to reach out to multiple segments with customized information. MailerLite takes the stress out of it. It is easy to manage our subscriber list and I appreciate the intuitive advanced recipient settings that allow me to build in logic based on subscriber segments for sending email campaigns. The simple and easy to use stats let me see what is working. We compare this to a response/action in another system, as our emails are targeting groups with a call to action. I also like how easy it is to copy existing campaigns and easily modify them for different segments. I can build up all my campaigns and have them scheduled to help manage our 'traffic' in our office and systems. I also found that we can set up templates once we have customized the content to help maintain brand consistency, which saves us time and ensures the necessary details are included. I like that I can easily preview and test campaigns - mostly that I can view the desktop and mobile in the browser.

Cons

I've used other software that let us to custom html email design. The built in content builder can be a bit challenging if you really want to customize for a specific look. That being said, the content builder is made to let anyone easily and quickly create emails.

[Mailchimp](https://www.capterra.com/p/110228/MailChimp/)

Reason for choosing MailerLite

MailerLite's free version restricted unique users, not the number of emails sent. We often need to email large segments on the same day. The free version made the most sense at the time. We continued with MailerLite because their licensing was affordable and we could pay monthly, and weren't committed to a year long contract.

Switched from

[Mailchimp](https://www.capterra.com/p/110228/MailChimp/)

We had used a free version of a MailChimp with issues and received poor customer services. Literally, they never replied to us after multiple attempts. We had used this product for a few years on the free version, so were invested, but ultimately couldn't use it due to poor customer service, especially knowing our future growth would require purchasing/subscribing to the premium version.

### "Essential newsletter partner"

July 10, 2022

5.0

Overall, I've been delighted with my Mailerlite experience. The system is really simple to use, and easy to learn. From the outset, my initial email campaigns started our looking professional, and have constantly improved in a very short period of time as I've learned to use more of the features. My questions have always been attended to quickly, with simple solutions to problems I've had. I work with many newcomers to the publishing sphere and I've always advised them to start out with Mailerlite when building their mailing lists.

Pros

I love the fact that Mailerlite is user-friendly and makes list-building simple. There are numerous built-in features that add to the process, many of which are automatically built-in, so a learning curve is not necessary. Some, such as automations, are a bit trickier, but it's good to know that once my skills have improved, these will be accessible to me. I was also pleasantly surprised to see how much was available to users on the free platform! The cherry on the top is that support is fast, and always friendly and helpful. Even when I've been a free user, I've had top-notch assistance from the team.

Cons

I'd have to say that the list management can be frustrating and a little confusing. List cleanups take 30 days to reflect, meaning that if you have 1000 addresses on a 1000 subscriber package, and you clean up 500 inactive users, you'll wait a month before you can rebuild your list. It would be nice if this adjustment could be more dynamic. I've also had some trouble with integrations, which seem to be dependent on the group settings on the platform's backend which I haven't been able to figure out yet. (It would probably be resolved with a deeper conversation with Mailerlite support though).

### "Terrible welcome service!!!!"

July 15, 2022

1.0

Pros

Nothing at all: it was a terrible mistake to trust the person who recomended it to me.

Cons

I created an account on Monday and sent a campaign. My contact list has been blocked few hours later even if at my dashboard the campaign rates showed are all of them lower than the minimum requiered rates (but the opened rate, that is much more bigger than minimum requiered). I exchanged a couple of messages with them on Tuesday about the issue, given to them as much as information as the asked me from my old email marketing suplier, and I have not recieved any news from them since, even if I asked for it. Not news neither about how to order a refund to forget about this awful situation that is affecting my virtual event lanch. Terrible welcome service for new customers!!!!

### "With MailerLite, your email marketing will "

January 12, 2023

5.0

The overall experience with MailerLite is very, very smooth. Especially after using a variety of other mailing platforms, who sometimes have a difficult setup process.

Pros

The ease of use and quick implementation of all needed features. Starting with MailerLite is very easy. Import your subscriber list, create an email and send it out, in just a few clicks.Also, creating landing pages and sign-up forms is a few clicks away.

Cons

If there is one feature I would like to see in the free plan would be Auto Resend, where emails will be resent after they are not delivered.Still, this being more of a premium feature anyways, there are no other cons that I have found.

### "Best Platform For Email Marketing & Management On A Budget"

August 6, 2022

5.0

I Love Mailer Lite! It has great features, it has an inexpensive entry price, and an easy drag-and-drop editor which makes for quick design. I always recommend it for clients on a budget or just starting out because they can learn on a free platform that allows them to use quite a few functions while they are getting their feet wet. With all the features available there is so much that can be done, from scheduled email sequences, evergreen sequences, or email campaigns for specific promotions. Overall great experience.

Pros

The free package has a ton of features that allows you to test the capabilities of Mailer Lite without paying for it. You get a very large starter number for your list before you have to pay and the fee when you do is very minimal. The functionality and templates available on the free package again allow you to see what you can potentially do. You can schedule emails as well as set up campaigns. Integrations include Website platforms as well as using API so it can be added almost anywhere. You can also track the metrics of your campaigns as well as overall and individual opens on campaigns.

Cons

Their templates are not very creative or exciting, so unless you have some of your own creative ideas, you are stuck with what they have. The templates are editable with their drag-and-drop editor. The platform has great functions but does not have as much design flex as some of the other platforms, so needs some work on that part. Their UX could also use some work to be more friendly to users who are not as tech-savvy

Reason for choosing MailerLite

The price and functionality available as well as the fact that they had a really robust free tier to see what could be done. The cost for their paid packages also helped since they were very low as well.

### "Expensive, but we'll worth it"

July 31, 2023

My open rate with mailerlite is better than any other provider I've used. It functions are easy to use, and I highly recommend it

Pros

Mailerlite is easy to use, and adaptable. The design of the emails can be adapted to match my branding, which is essential. I can incorporate links for sales, and then monitor how the links are click and used. Being able to analyse my links and open rate is important, and mailerlite make it easy.

Cons

Honestly, the cost is the biggest issue. The price has just increased, and when you grow your mailing list to a large quantity, it does get very expensive.

### "Get it for the program - Keep it for the great support"

September 1, 2021

5.0

ML makes it easy for me to shoot out emails to our customers to announce new products, sales, and events. We used them for over a year originally, then decided to give Shopify's new built-in email program a try. It was painful to use, extremely limited, and there was not one feature that was as good as MailerLite. We stuck with Shopify Email for almost a year, amid promises it would get better, but finally went back to MailerLite, and immediately remembered how painless - dare I say, even fun - it could be to send out emails.

Pros

The program has the most flexibility in design and automation that we've seen, with the best pricing for these features of any program for a small business. Automatically pull in products from your website with pricing, description and image all set - That saves a lot of time when you want to feature an item, and directs people right to its page to purchase it. Include images, videos, blog posts and tons of other items in your email anytime. So, features are great, but at some point, you're going to run into something you don't know how to do. That's where it's important to have a great support team backing up a product, and MailerLite's is SUPERB! They usually get back to my email within a very short time, and they almost always can point me to a tutorial video for just the thing I'm trying to do, as well as giving me an answer within the email and an invitation to write with further questions. Their tutorials are professional, well-planned, and easy to follow. Everyone I've spoken with through the years has been friendly and happy to help.

Cons

My biggest challenges have been little things, like not being able to automatically segment customers by the US state they're from. (We'd like to be able to send out some emails just to people within driving distance.) However, I haven't been able to find that on any other program, either, yet. If they could add it, though, it would put them even further above others!

### "MailerLite is the Chick-fil-a of the online space"

April 29, 2022

5.0

Best experience ever. Seriously.

Pros

Moving to MailerLite was one of the best decisions I ever made for my business. Having everything in one space – email, client management, landing pages, website – is SO convenient and saves me so much time and money. The integration between all of those features makes tracking customer engagement incredibly easy. The editor for landing pages, websites, automations, and emails is intuitive and full of great features. But what really impresses me, time and again, is the customer service. No one likes it when stuff glitches or they run into an issue, but I can say with 100% sincerity and honesty that I actually LOOK FORWARD to interacting with the MailerLite customer service team. They are quick to respond, easy to understand (not sure if they're all native English speakers, but they sure come across as such), clear in their instruction, and seemingly always in a good mood. It doesn't matter how frustrated I am with whatever issue I'm experiencing, I always leave a MailerLite customer service exchange with a smile on my face.

Cons

Occasionally the editor function gets a little temperamental and doesn't want to format text correctly.

### "The Best EMS For Your Business!"

February 18, 2024

5.0

Overall, I am very happy with Mailerlite and have been recommending them to friends and colleagues for over four years now. I will remain on Classic until they discontinue it.

Pros

Mailerlite is the best when it comes to deliverability, features, and price point. Mailerlite's automations are complex and really help you warm up your leads for a better relationship without having to personally email every single lead individually. I also like that I can tag where a lead onboarded from so I can track how well that source fits into my marketing process. I've enjoyed great deliverability since my move to Mailerlite with more subscribers getting all my import updates and more sales as a result. Mailerlite also has a robust customer service department that is always quick to help when any issues do arise.

Cons

I'm not a fan of the new Mailerlite. I am staying on Classic because the huge price increase and the clunkiness of the new interface. It's not something I look forward to having to learn and especially not at double to price. I wish Mailerlite would honor a discount for Classic users to be grandfathered in at a better rate.

### "Easy-to-use affordable email marketing platform with all of the features most people need"

May 20, 2019

4.0

Pros

MailerLite is one of the most affordable email marketing platforms right now with all of the features most people need like automations, a drag and drop builder and embedded signup forms. Their most useful feature is automations, which lets you send a sequence of emails to subscribers if they join a list, if one of their contact fields gets updated (example: if they go from being a free to a paid member), if they click on a link, etc. You can also create yes/no branches at different points in the automation to send different emails to subscribers after they meet or don't meet a certain criteria. They also have a decent free plan for those who are starting out or looking to test the platform. The free plan includes automations and most of their key features. I also use personally use their APIs to automatically add new members to specific automations - they are well documented and easy to follow.

Cons

1\. Right now, you can only create yes or no branches in automations. So for example, let's say that you want subscribers who already downloaded a lead gen to not receive an email in the automation about it. The only way to do this right now is to create a yes/no branch. If yes, they'll receive the rest of the sequence in the yes branch \*without\* the specific email. If no, they'll receive the rest of the sequence in the no branch \*with\* specific email. But if you want subscribers in both branches to receive the rest of the other emails, you'd have to have duplicate emails in the yes and no branch. It gets time-consuming if you want to add more emails to the automation (you'd have to add them both to the yes and no branch) or if you need to update any of the existing emails (you'd have to update both in the yes and no branch). It would be easier if you can simply add specific criteria to each email in the automation. So for example, if the subscriber meets the criteria, they'll receive this email in the automation. If not, they skip that email but still receive the next ones (if they match the criteria). 2. They had deliverability issues in the past which they did work really hard to fix. However, based on my experiences and that of what others have reported, overall open rates (with an authenticated domain) tend to be somewhat lower than a few other top platforms.

### "This is my second review for MailerLite, and I have only grown to love it more!"

February 19, 2022

5.0

Of all the services that I use, it is the only one which still maintains a 100% satisfaction rating with me.

Pros

I was originally drawn to MailerLite because of the ability to automate sequences. I would keep it for that one thing alone. But the service just keeps getting better.

Cons

Although I understand the necessity for limitations - I would love to have more than a 100-step sequence (I know that that would not be necessary for most people. But you actually have so many options in the automation sequences, that you can actually go a bit crazy with it. However - it is because of these options that everyone who responds to me, actually thinks that I am physically typing out each email and mailing them directly... Which is, of course, the goal... To mail as many people as possible, but for each of those people to feel like they are getting my direct and personal attention at every step of the way... So a lift on, or at least a raising of, the cap for steps in automation sequences.

Reason for choosing MailerLite

I focused my entire basis on price for the ability to have automations.

### "I've been using MailerLite for business for years!!"

August 20, 2022

5.0

I've been using MailerLite for my business for years. It has served all of my email marketing needs and lead generation leads. I've seen other platforms, however I have chosen to stick with MailerLite because it is easy to use and the support is great, and the platform has stayed consistent and serves me well in my business. The free version offers so much for new business owners to get started. MailerLite is a fully comprehensive email marketing platform.

Pros

Ever since I started my first business, I've been using MailerLite. I did research other competitors, however their platforms were not as easy to use as MailerLite. I love that as a new business owner, I was able to get on a free plan to get started and be able to send out emails and do automations. The platform is easy to use and understand. I love how I can integrate forms into my website for lead generation and for capturing contact information. I use this platform for email automations when people subscribe to my freebie. I also use it for sending beautifully designed emails - there are many customization options. I like using the landing page feature for my freebie offer as well. On my contact page, I've embedded a MailerLite form to capture contact information for my leads. MailerLite makes it easy for me to gather email addresses, send out campaigns, and monitor engagement.

Cons

I would like more options to customize the embedded forms so that it blends seamlessly into my custom website design.

Reason for choosing MailerLite

Mailchimp was confusing to use and not easy to understand. Also, I was helping a client with Mailchimp and it was malfunctioning and not sending out emails properly. We were both frustrated that a simple feature was not working properly. I like MailerLite because it functions as expected every time.

### "Know what you want, shop around, come back, or just stop here"

June 12, 2023

5.0

TERRIFIC! I am so glad I'm here. The customer service via chat is always great. The tutorials are easy to understand and replicate the processes. The product itself is fantastic and useful from entry to scale.

Pros

The interface is pretty easy to get the hang of. It's very easy to create what I need, keep track of my campaigns, forms, and other creations, and repurpose them with a few clicks. The automations work perfectly. It integrates with other sites pretty seamlessly via coding or link and appearance so once it's embedded it looks right at home. The metrics are terrific and numerous. The support chat is on the ball and really personable. I shop around and I stand by my decisions. The positive list is long. They keep adding features also.

Cons

Some of the templates are a wee bit wonky no matter what I have tried to do, sites, landing pages, forms, pop ups, email campaigns. It is typically easy enough to work around, but I don't want to have to work around. Once something is just right, it is easy clone it and save as my own template so that takes care of some of it. Other things are out of my control, like the video widget breaks down and shows a big, ugly grey space in the receiver's email. OOPS, so I haven't tried to embed a video again, which could be a problem at some point. Maybe it's better now?

Reason for choosing MailerLite

Features beat them all and price is reasonable. The structure of emails/customers is more fair.

### "Affordable email marketing platform with great deliverability"

August 29, 2021

5.0

I was pleasantly surprised after reading reviews and trying this platform myself for a couple of email campaigns. It's a very solid tool, with great email deliverability and all the features you need to get going. It's easy to use, everything is clear (you don't need tech skills to get started) and the platform keeps getting improved which is important.

Pros

I like the email deliverability that MailerLite offers. This was one of the reasons I decided to try this platform. I've read that major email testing services rated MailerLite high for deliverability and I can vouch for this. I'm getting very good results with my campaigns. Good deliverability, good email opens and my activity doesn't seem to go down after a few months. The other thing I love is that this is a no-nonsense platform that gets you to collect emails fast, while still offering you advanced features that you might need down the road. Great, modern and flexible platform for beginners and advanced marketers.

Cons

I haven't found much that I dislike about this tool. Like I've said it's very solid, great deliverability and the pricing is affordable as well (big plus if you're starting out). I'd like to have some advanced auto-resend features but now I'm being picky. Every platform can be improved but I haven't found anything in MailerLite that's bothering me. That's why I keep using it.

### "An amazing solution to email marketing!"

March 12, 2022

5.0

The insights we gained about our email marketing, just by looking at the statistics and analytics of our campaigns, are stunningly beneficial! MailerLite helped us increase our revenue by more than 100%, just by testing and improving our email content.

Pros

The drag-and-drop template builder is very easy to use and the created templates show in every email client I can think of. So far, nobody had to open our email in their browser because of displaying issues.

Cons

Unfortunately there are no integrations available for our webshop platform called OpenCart.

[Brevo](https://www.capterra.com/p/132996/brevo/)

Reason for choosing MailerLite

Our marketing agency recommended MailerLite. MailerLite simply stands out because of the clarity and transparency about its paid plans. No limits, other than your number of subscribers and emails sent. It just makes sense! Every alternative I could find has limitations on layouts, templates, or even has elements on templates that you could only use if you upgrade your plan. Nothing feels worse than constantly being confronted with features you cannot use, while paying for a product you expect to be fully functioning.

[Mailchimp](https://www.capterra.com/p/110228/MailChimp/)

I try to keep this short but there's a lot wrong with MailChimp. They kept bothering us with their own marketing emails and their very own unsubscribe link didn't work, for several months while I used their platform. I wouldn't trust this giant with our company emails. Maybe it changed by this time, but it was a huge pain to get in touch with their own customer service. I get the feeling that MailChimp has become a bit arrogant about their position on the market. Their paid plans are too limited and expensive, simply because they can.

### "Streamlined, Yet Powerful Tool for email Marketing Campaigns"

August 30, 2022

5.0

Pros

I have used a number of competing email tracking programs and MailerLite is by far the most streamlined and easy to use I have come across. That said, it doesn't sacrifice any of the capability. I have run multiple email marketing campaigns with it (soliciting reviews for fiction novels and album releases) and was delighted with MailerLite's flexibility and power. It integrates seamlessly with Gmail (as well as other mail clients), giving users the power to imbed tracking on a per-message basis with the simple click of a toggle button. As my campaigns featured hundreds of individually customized email, the per-message tracking was critical. It pushed alerts when a message was opened or a link was clicked and provided useful statistical summaries of engagement on demand. I continue to use MailerLite any time I need to gage (and track) email engagement.

Cons

I have no complaints about MailerLite's functionality--it is easy to use, is full featured, and integrates well with other email apps. However, in order to disable the "this message is tracked by MailerLite" footer included in the message, users need to pay an annual subscription fee. Given how intrusive that message looks, I had no choice but to pay the fee. That said, the fee seemed reasonable given the power of the software.

### "Great for creating email newsletters and shareable pdf brochures"

December 22, 2018

5.0

Mailerlite is a Godsent, I think the export to PDF has a lot of potential. There are over 12 million WhatsApp users in Kenya, most of our clients and prospects, are more willing to connect us via WhatsApp than by email. The PDF brochures has become one of our biggest marketing assets as we can keep them updated about our projects in a more social way. The fact that the brochures are more shareable is a big bonus. However, It'll be good to be able to track clicks, which currently can't be done as it's stored as a draft in MailerLite. I know Mailerlite is an email marketing software but I'd love to be able to monitor the performance of newsletters turned into brochures the same way I can monitor sent campaigns. Even if it's something as simple as having a dashboard for draft campaigns and using Google Analytics to track clicks on it.

Pros

\- I used Mailerlite to create email newsletters (Which any email marketing software can do) but most importantly I used Mialerlite to create sharable pdf brochures showcasing our past/current projects (My client was an Architecture company). These "brochures" are light size wise as the target platform was Whatsapp. The images are clickable linking to the projects on our websites, this way when sent to clients/potential clients on WhatsApp they can know more about us without having to go to our website. - Design Options: I've used MailChimp, Active Campaign, Moosend and pretty much any Email marketing software you can think off, but in terms of design flexibility and templates, Mailerlite has the best design options. My favorite is the "Featured Image" block - Great Customer Support: Mailerlite is meant for creating email newsletters and not pdf brochures so it was a bit tricky working around that especially since the share to social media button wouldn't work since the newsletter I converted into a brochure wasn't technically an email campaign (I.e it wasn't sent to anyone/mailing list) but remained in my dashboard as a draft. I had a chat with them on how to arrange the elements so my brochure was 3 pages max, and how to reduce the size.

Cons

\- My emails kept going to the spam folder which was very bothersome, so I contacted support and I was told I'm not the only one having the same problem and that it's an issue they're working on as they were blacklisted (Or something like that) -As much as I love the featured image element, it renders differently on Outlook desktop app. Instead of appearing as one large image, the images appeared as a grid, with nine images of the same image taking the space instead of one large image. It was a bit disconcerting and there was no way around it.
