### "Big help for a small business"

September 18, 2018

4.0

Pros

I am a one person small business so it is hard for me to be an expert at everything and also have the time to implement the solutions. Having the crew at TargetBay on my team helping with collecting reviews, customer Q&A, and recovering abandoned carts is a huge help, among other things. Their expertise is what I have needed for years. They set it all up for me and we talk monthly to review performance and make changes if needed. I'm looking forward to a long term relationship. They work hard to help my business grow because if I grow then they grow too. Thank you to the entire team at TargetBay.

Cons

I have a little bit of a hard time navigating and understanding the back end of the system but that difficulty is mitigated by the excellent customer service they offer.

### "Love working with the Target Bay team"

February 25, 2025

5.0

We have been using Target Bay for a few years now after trying to manage all the different website tools from 3rd parties by ourselves. We were never up to date on what was needed, and the white glove support has been worth the cost.

Pros

Working with the support team who is always on it. They contact us to make sure we are taking full advantage of the tools.

Cons

There are a lot of features and options which can get overwhelming

Prompt response, clear and accurate instruction and feedback. They set realistic goals and go above and beyond what I expected.

Pros

Fantastic support. If you have a question about it they're not only willing to help but timely with their answer.

Cons

I wish I knew about it a long time ago so I could've implemented it when we switched to BigCommerce from Magento.

### "A Top-Notch Email Marketing and Reviews Company"

March 13, 2023

5.0

Overall, I would highly recommend TargetBay to anyone looking for a reliable and effective partner in the world of email marketing and reviews. Their dedication to their clients' success is unmatched, and their track record of success speaks for itself.

Pros

TargetBay is a company that truly stands out in the world of email marketing and reviews. Their services are top-notch and the benefits they provide to their clients are impressive. After reviewing several testimonials, it is clear that TargetBay is a company that consistently delivers results for its clients.One of the most impressive aspects of TargetBay is their ability to provide a full-service experience for their clients. This includes access to US-based professionals who handle email blasts and other marketing efforts with care and attention to detail. The results speak for themselves, as clients have reported seeing increased sales and conversions thanks to TargetBay's efforts.In addition to their excellent service, TargetBay is also very responsive and attentive to their clients' needs. They are always willing to offer new suggestions and recommendations to help their clients scale and grow their businesses. The cost of their services is also very affordable, making them a great choice for businesses of all sizes.

Cons

We're uncertain if SMS marketing is effective for our business. It's possible that our industry isn't well-suited for SMS marketing. Despite trying a more costly provider, we obtained comparable results. Presently, TargetBay is collaborating with us to devise an alternate SMS strategy and determine if it can increase sales. We're thrilled that they can tailor solutions to meet our specific requirements.

[Mailchimp](https://www.capterra.com/p/110228/MailChimp/)[Shopper Approved](https://www.capterra.com/p/179680/Shopper-Approved/)

Our decision to switch software was influenced by both cost and performance. We opted for Shopper Approved, which we've used for 2-3 years as it was more affordable. However, we didn't observe any improvement in performance. Shopper Approved only contacted us once a year to renew the license. Conversely, TargetBay frequently evaluates our progress, holds regular conference calls, and consistently proposes new ideas and strategies. Although Attentive is significantly more expensive, it didn't result in any sales boost. Likewise, Mailchimp was cheaper but yielded no results. Since partnering with TargetBay, our subscriber list has doubled, and our return on investment has increased by 8x. We decided to consolidate these three software and solely use TargetBay, resulting in an overall sales increase of 80-90%, something we never achieved with other providers.

### "Review of Target Bay Marketing Software User Interface"

December 5, 2019

5.0

Comments It should be kept in mind that the Target Bay marketing software and user interface, while very functional and user friendly, is evolving and new features are being added on a continual basis. To this point, the Target Bay technical support staff are regularly reaching out to insure the highest customer satisfaction, and as well, introduce customers to new features as they are introduced into the software. As I am an instructor as well as graphic designer, I sometimes muse about the prospect of working for Target Bay, as I also like to provide positive and educational experiences to my students.

Pros

Email Campaigns My primary use of the Target Bay software is for the composing and sending of my email campaigns. I find the user interface fairly intuitive, with the ability to drag and drop content, which can be modified as the email is being designed. Target Bay has several email templates, however, I like to build my own. Pop-Ups At the encouragement of Target Bay's staff, I have also incorporated two pop-up features; a welcome pop-up and an abandoned cart pop-up. The abandoned cart feature also sends out an email to the person who had abandoned the cart (check out step) should they choose to provide their email when the pop-up is presented. Reviews I have also activated Reviews; for products purchased and for our company's website. The Reviews help me keep tabs on my customer's experience, respond to their questions and post positive reviews to my social media accounts. I will soon be incorporating retargeting ads. This feature provides a visual reminder to my customers to revisit my website, based on their viewing history of specific products. Overall, I have found the Target Bay App to be very useful and only limited by my finite imagination. Thank you to the Target Bay Team for their excellent support.

Cons

Just a few little hiccups along the way. I find that the Target Bay tech support to be very responsive and helpful.

Reason for choosing TargetBay

I received a call from Target Bay's owner and was very impressed with his presentation.

### "Very Satisfied TargetBay / Bayengage User"

November 18, 2022

5.0

Targetbay / Bayengage helps me manage my clients website reviews, product reviews, email marketing, sales conversion, and cart abandonment flow all in one affordably priced product. My account manager \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] has my back even though I run a small agency which is pretty awesome.

Pros

As a marketing agency and a web designer I love products that can do more than one thing. The less plugins to install, interfaces to learn, and bills to pay, the better! Also support answers really fast on their chat box which is great. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] is my account manager; he is there for me when I need help, often at the last minute, which is essential since I am always busy.

Cons

I had some issues with the old interface not being very intuitive, however they have improved that vastly and recently launched the Bayengage software which is very easy to use and learn.

### "TargetBay has become a vital asset"

March 24, 2023

5.0

Pros

TargetBay has been beneficial to our growth. Their team set up and implemented most functions. Moreover the support staff in our case \[sensitive content hidden\], has been superlative in his management skills. He is the go to person for us and he has never failed us. I would say he is an asset TargetBay provided in which we did not know would be such an asset to our team. Thank you \[sensitive content hidden\].

Cons

We do not have any cons at this points..

### "A Game-Changer for Our Customer Review Strategy"

June 12, 2025

5.0

Our experience with TargetBay has been fantastic. We saw a noticeable increase in customer engagement and trust after implementing their review service on our site. The ability to display verified reviews in a visually appealing format made a real difference in conversions. Their customer service team is also top-notch — quick, knowledgeable, and eager to help. Highly recommend!

Pros

The platform is incredibly easy to use and has helped us collect and showcase authentic customer reviews seamlessly. Their automation tools and customizable widgets really elevated our review strategy.

Cons

There was a slight learning curve when setting up the integrations, but their support team was quick to help and very responsive.

### "A Team that Cares"

July 18, 2023

5.0

I have worked with many marketing companies in the past, and none of them were able to deliver the quality service and products I needed. I have very much enjoyed working with TargetBay for the past several years and they continue to go above and beyond. TargetBay is a one-stop shop for my small business needs.

Pros

Their products and services are a perfect fit for my small business. The team at TargetBay provides the very best customer service in a timely, professional, and friendly manner, and care about my success.

Cons

I found BayEngage email marketing templates to be a little challenging. This in no way is a reflection of faulty or inferior product, it's something I found challenging as I didn't have the time or staff to become proficient in creating email campaigns. The team at TargetBay is more than happy to provide instruction and guidance whenever possible. They are always eager to help.

### "Valuable to my Business"

March 23, 2023

5.0

I started using targetbay for it's reviews portion and I've expanded into email marketing, retargeting Ads and SMS. I'd say I'm pretty happy I've had the same case manager the entire time and I've found value in more avenues the company offers.

Pros

My case manager, Senthil is available when I need him. He explains what I need to work on and implement in order to improve my results and is trustworthy. He understands my needs and when things aren't always on the up and up and we're able to maneuver to get the best results for my money.

Cons

I don't love the interface, I feel like I'm pretty computer-literate but have issues navigating the system from time to time.

Pros

TargetBay is easier to use, more affordable, with more useful features than Yotpo. I've also made suggestions for additional features, and they added them to the software. They also have the very best customer service. I'm so glad I made the switch to TargetBay. I use them on all 3 of my websites: Wellness Shopping Online, Go Healthy Next, and Creatrix Solutions.

Cons

The only problem is I didn't know about them and subscribe earlier.

Increased sales over 20%

Pros

Great interface and easy to use with automated time saving emails. More than just a review platform. We compared the features to several competitors like Yotpo, Springbot and others and found that Targetbay has better features and price.

Cons

Because it has so many features it has a bit of a learning curve. But Targetbay will implement everything for you so you get a turnkey solution.

Pros

Has greatly helped reduced shopping card abandonment. We've found customers returning, sometimes days later (but still returning), to complete their transactions with us rather than going with another online retailer.

Cons

Slightly confusing initially. Not easy to grasp everything at first but with time you'll come to appreciate all of its' features.
