### "Best promo service around"

January 20, 2021

5.0

I've been with them for years and never had any major issues. When I have had issues, I've just emailed them on their support and they fixed the issue immediately.

Pros

Absolutely love the ease of use, it's easy and simple to setup.

Cons

Some extra options to customise the emails would be nice

Reason for choosing Promoly

Ease of use, cheap, personalised support and an independent business owner.

### "Maximize Your Music’s Exposure with Promoly"

September 23, 2024

5.0

I’ve found Promoly a valuable tool for organizing and sending professional looking data-driven music promotion campaigns. The written feedback I get off djs is helpful to further drive my promos forward.

Pros

Promoly enables me to send personalized, professional promo emails to my lists of DJs, bloggers, media outlets, and other key influencers. It provides analytics on who opened the emails, listened to the tracks, downloaded, and shared them. This insight helps me gauge the effectiveness of my campaigns. The interface is super user-friendly and helps me to create a professional presentation for my promo material. I can also add branding elements, such as logos and personalized messages, to my promo campaigns, which enhances the professionalism of the promotion

Cons

Although the interface is user-friendly, there’s still a learning curve involved in figuring out the best way to manage campaigns and analyze results effectively, especially for users new to email marketing.

### "An Okay Alternative to Label Engine (But, with time, will be just as good)"

December 14, 2020

3.0

Overall, I had a very positive but often frustrating time with Promo.ly (both as a software and the team who run it). I think it offers a great alternative to Label Engine in terms of its cost and user interface, but it certainly has a long way to go before I would recognise it as a serious competitor to LE. The team I spoke to for support were incredibly helpful and very responsive. At the time of using Promo.ly, there were a number of problems I encountered which, with the help and speedy replies of the team, were either resolved soon after the initial conversations or were on the list of things to update. It seems the team behind Promo.ly are really passionate about their product and offer a much more personal touch than, say, Label Engine. As much as my feedback may be perceived as negative, I would certainly recommend it to a friend or colleague. I can see a lot of potential for it in the future.

Pros

The cost was definitely something I liked. It's a good software with a good price point. Each update seemed to make the cost more impressive, but, alas, updates and few and far between. The software's interface, although often buggy, was easy to use and allowed for a somewhat visually appealing product.

Cons

The software, for what the service is (a promotions software), is very buggy. When I joined Promo.ly, the internal clock of the software was wrong and often lead to my promo's being sent out at the wrong time. Uploading tracks to the software regularly resulted in the software crashing. More generally, I feel like the accessibility of the interface was overshadowed by the buggy software. Even at the relatively low price point that Promo.ly is offering, the problems I encountered at the time of using Promo.ly sometimes made it not worth it.

\-Impossible in certain positions to individuate / remove / change people IN groups -Audio downloads diseappeared many times due to system bugs putting my customers in rage and my credibility in balance ( very painful )

### "The page security "

December 9, 2020

4.0

Decently good at beginning

Pros

Overall has decent options. I used it before when there was a free option that you send promo to few email. I was planing in near future to consider it being main promo tool for my label.

Cons

Page security, the connection is not encrypted to a ssl level. Google chrome users find this site flagged as fishing page and most email promo could not be open. Also other antivirus browser protection flagg it too. I dont have much information on other browsers , because users on my mailing list use chrome. This problem is seriously and a deal breaker for me.

Hey Tedri, Thanks for the review. All Promoly domains are encrypted with SSL, and everything is secure from a customer point of use. I apologize if something wasn't quite right when you were using Promoly. I don't remember you reaching out and telling us about the problem though. Could you head to support.promo.ly and message us on the chat so I can take further details? Best, Pete

December 9, 2020

3.0

I only had the opportunity to use it once, I may not be able to afford it until further on

Pros

I like the analytics features, also it had a section where you could reach out to a community of producers, radio personalities etc that you could send your music to for listening or playing

Cons

I don’t like how people receive the email. They have to click to go in and see everything. Therefore, some people saw it and ignored because it appeared to be spam or phishing

Reason for choosing Promoly

It was new and innovative at the time of use

Response from Promo.ly

December 11, 2020

Hey Keron, Thanks for the honest review. We have to provide a link in the email to the promo, as email does not support audio streaming. Also, the more information and links embedded in the email, the higher chance of it landing in spam. We have to find a balance, and currently what we have works well for our customers. That's not to say it will always be that way. We improve and make things better all the time. Hope that makes sense, Also, watch out over the coming months. We have some great updates that are in line with your needs. Best, Pete

### "Can't fault promoly"

December 7, 2020

5.0

Amazing support, fantastic softwaree, would definitely recommend to other similar businesses if they weren't already using it.

Pros

All the features on promo.ly are easy to use and their customer service has been on point whenever we've needed to contact them. This website is such a useful tool for our business, allowing us to interact with a select audience of artists that we choose to send our pre-release music too. Really can't fault this fantastic service.

Cons

Nothing I can really mention, there used to be a few issues with dates etc but those got fixed in a recent update a couple of months ago, since then we've had no issues.

### "Promoly Review"

December 19, 2020

5.0

Before I'd even signed up, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] (one of the \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\]) was incredibly helpful and provided a whole plethora of details for me think over and decide if I wanted to switch. There was never any pressure and even since I have signed up, any queries I've had have been answered in a very timely and professional manner.

Pros

The software is incredibly professional looking compared to previous software I used to promo mailouts. Clean-cut design is far more likely to attract people to leave feedback on our music. It's also super simple to use - no nonsense, just the tools you need.

Cons

Nothing has been lacking so far, perhaps something that my particular label could benefit from is a tool to upload different file types other than just the music and art. For example it would be helpful to be able to attach a .pdf press release.

Pros

It's been changed and developed over time showing that they listen to people and that they are adapting to the times, the new colour schemes are modern and the new button and set up lay outs are really nice.

Perfect for where my business is at right now and I recommend it often

Sometimes buggy but the team are super responsive to resolving issues through live chat or email

March 27, 2023

5.0

With the help of promo.ly we distribute our music to DJs, magazines and producers.

Pros

We used several similar services before Promo.ly and after we switched we realized how Promo.Ly is convenient and easy to use with many additional useful features

Cons

I don't like it when the system reaches Bounce limits and in this case it doesn't allow you to send a promo

### "Effective and stylish"

October 4, 2022

4.0

As the owner of a new label, I was looking for a quick, easy way to promote my artists' releases. Boom, Promoly to the rescue! Just perfect for any label looking to simplify their promotions!

Pros

Though I only used the trial period, I am eager to subscribe! Efficient, easy-to-use, and a vast DJ Pool to submit music to! The overall design is what to expect with some fantastic aesthetics, especially when looking at feedback and reviews. Delivers promptly, and reports extensively! It is definitely worth the investment! Well done Promoly!

Cons

Can't really fault this as I only used the trial period! Look forward to seeing what the full subscription has to offer!

### "Worth checking out"

December 9, 2020

4.0

Pros

Promo.ly us constantly working to innovate their product and improve the work apps workflow. Whenever a question arises, they are quick to respond and solve any issues that may arise. Overall the support that the promo.ly team supplies is unmatched and they always strive to do better. Even when they do a great job already. The analytics in the app are great.

Cons

Sometimes critical bugs are encountered (however corrected very fast). Cost per available sends in the basic tier is a bit high for an independent label, but it doesn't make sense for us to jump to the next tier give our market reach.

### "Great Value"

December 4, 2020

4.0

Happy user, however I would love if you will support AIFF files. Most international touring DJ's are asking for high quality files for them to play in their sets. As a DJ is very important to be able to see the COVER of the music that i am playing; WAV files does not have that support. Thank you

Pros

Easy to setup campaigns, the ability to send promos to different lists.

Cons

lack of AIFF format support. Also the emails metadata - text & image sometimes are not being displayed properly.

### "Great Tool."

December 5, 2020

5.0

Great.

Pros

Simple, neat looking, easy to go around.

Cons

Few things did not work as intended on the beginning, also the audio file upload seems thing to sort out. One thing is to add audio preview into promo pack/mail, another thing is the files that people want to download, do you really need to present wave and mp3 separately for preview, I wouldnt do it that way personally. Maybe that is now allready different. Still tho works fine as it is.

December 7, 2020

Hi Riho, Thanks for the feedback and the review. Unfortunately, we had a bug which caused some difficulties. That bug is now eliminated, and audio upload works with no issue. Thanks for the suggestions about improving Promoly. I'll pass these back to the team. We're always looking for ways to improve, so it's appreciated. Cheers, Pete

### "PromoLy SWR Review"

December 4, 2020

5.0

Awesome

Pros

The easy accessibility for clients to listen to the track and leave feedback and downloadability.

Cons

The jump between tier 1-2 £15 for 750 sends and £30 for more than double more. There needs to be a tier in the middle like £20 for 1,25k sends as £30 send limit is way too much for me and will never get used. Also PromoLy sometimes ends up putting the email in the spam folder

Review Source

Response from Promo.ly

December 7, 2020

Thanks for the review Declan. Pricing is one of the most difficult aspects to get correct when building a company. What may suit you might not accommodate someone else. I don't think we'll ever find a happy medium, but I appreciate your comments. If you need more sends but don't wish to upgrade your entire account, we have an email credit addon. Head to your account and checkout /billing. You can purchase extra for a one-off fee. Thanks, Pete
