Queue

Pros: Really innovative concept with a very good User Interface. I got great results and it literally is like pouring gasoline onto a fire if you've got a good offer already.

Cons: Found some of the e-mail services a bit clunky (I'm sure that's been fixed since I last used their beta version).

Overall: Lots of leads!

Pros: The software taps into human psychology of wanting to win a contest or giveaway. My favorite thing about this software is the automated messages it emails to contestants when they get outranked.

Cons: Initial set-up can be a bit time consuming. But just like anything new, you need to invest an hour or two to learn the software and set it up correctly.

Overall: Added 4000+ subscribers to my email list, added hundred of social media followers within a span of 1 month.

Pros: Virality, flexibility, strategy, their dashboards and metrics are easy to understand

Cons: You have to design your own landing pages.

Overall: I used this tool to run a client's giveaway and it worked really well. There are some tricks to it, as far as setup and strategy, that need an advanced marketer and mindset. And hopefully they will have more information and documentation about that on the website soon. But it didn't matter, because I was able to confer directly with the CEO and he helped us through the entire giveaway to ensure we were setup for virality, had the right messaging, and then he worked fraud prevention at the end. Thanks to our rep for making our giveaway a success. Until next time!

Recommendations to other buyers: Make sure your landing page is well designed for conversion and your community page is well designed for explaining the contest side of it all.

Comments: Queue makes it easy to get the word out. Not only is the product great, but their service too which is just as important.

Great personable service. In my personal experience they even helped with our customer service which I know most other companies would not.

We raised over 500k in funds on indiegogo because of Queue's help.

Comments: Worked on a passion project called The Last Gift box, Queue helped the book and presentations get bigger than anticipated. Much more so than we had planned for

Pros: Its ease of use and unique ability to improve conversion rates.

Cons: I wish it could do more! I hear their working on features to cover multiple digital channels which is cool.

Overall: We've used it in multiple portfolio companies to build buzz, build email lists and raise capital for crowd funding campaigns. It's easy to set up and use...and the results are almost instant.
