"Intuitive and beneficial software which feels a gap in the market "
Overall: Being able to see who, how and where our speakers/sponsors are sharing their session/attendance information has been more than insightful. We have been able to boost reach further by commenting and engaging in their posts. Sometimes in the past we have missed posts as we haven't been tagged or so on, this solves that issue.
Pros: The product is extremely easy to use, and delivers on results. It has really opened our eyes as to how much better we could be at speaker/sponsor promotion with the right tool. The customisable campaign templates are great as we'd like to stay on brand at all times. The reporting is real time (& addictive).
Cons: An automated save on design elements would be fantastic. Also perhaps the option to drag and drop elements - sometimes we have multiple logos to include and the boxes for the text can crowd or overlap them.
"Great product for increasing social media marketing and reach"
Overall: Working with Gleanin has been a very positive experience so far with an incredibly responsive team, both via the website and on the phone.
Pros: Gleanin is a very easy-to-use tool that allows us to massively expand our social media presence through the organic sharing of social cards by our visitors, delegate, speakers and exhibitors. It also allows us to see which channels are being used to share, allowing us to target our marketing spend more accurately.
Cons: The only area for improvement would be in the data upload/download for mail merges. This is a little cumbersome but I belive that it is being worked on at the moment.
"Easy to use referral tool"
Overall: The tool has been pretty much seamless to use and has been empowering as a marketer to not have to rely on a design team to make new banners and edit existing ones if something in a schedule has changed!
Pros: Gleanin community marketing platform is very easy to use and speedy, both as the admin and for the speakers. The best thing has been being in complete control of edits/adding additional speakers and sessions to the data sets, which are then reflected in the dynamic url. Not having to resend a new url or information is ideal. We've also seen great results from our speaker referral campaigns so far!
Cons: There are still some areas of the tool that feel like they need work (unless this is covered by other subscription levels), but a way to archive old content would be great in terms of tidying up the data dashboards, and I wish the reporting by campaign had other visualisation options, like line charts or graphs, rather than bubbles.
"Great Product"
Pros: It's a very intuitive programme, so easy to get using with minimal training. It saves so much time, going from creating manual assets to them being automatically generated is a game changer.
Cons: Nothing springs to mind - a fantastic all round service.
" Gleanin is a must-have tool to boost event participation!"
Overall: Excellent product that has been thoughtfully developed to fit the needs of event administrators for event setup, updates and conversion tracking and for attendees/speakers to promote their participation easily. The Gleanin team are great to work with and extremely responsive. They are always planning new features to make the tool even more effective!
Pros: Easy to set-up using intuitive tools, templates and helpful guides. Event set-up can be completed in less than 30 minutes! It's easy for attendees to invite their networks using multiple social media tools and generate a buzz about events and we can see real-time conversion tracking. The speaker and session upload tool works perfectly and the headshot tool is amazing!
Cons: No cons...we are eagerly awaiting the upcoming exhibitor module to extend our use of Gleanin
"So easy to use - and save so much time"
Overall: Having used Gleanin across different event types and for different organisers, it has really helped with social media noise around events.
Pros: Easy to useLove that the messaging can be updated easily for different campaignsSaves so much time with speaker engagement, exhibitor advocacy and sponsor marketing
Cons: The team seems to be on top of any system feedback and are always updating where necessary - all good
"Gleanin for Community Membership as well as Events"
Overall: I used the Gleanin software in my previous role as well as this current one. The platform is efficient, easy to use and gives us immediate results. Encouraging our members, speakers and delegates to market via socials on our behalf often feels like an uphill struggle, Gleanin makes it much easier for everyone. The team are quick to respond to questions or queries and add new functionality regularly. We have had really good results with the software and would not hesitate to recommend.
Pros: Ease of use for all stakeholders, ability to add own imagery or create within the software, reporting.
Cons: Any cons we have had in the past have been met with recent updates. We use the software in a slightly different way and it is adaptable enough to enable us to do so. As I type we do not have any cons.
"Social Sharing Made Easy"
Pros: Gleanin is a very easy software to use. Setting up campaigns is fast and painless. We had created out first campaign and launched it in the same day. The ease of the links to send to our speakers is also a big plus, they can grab the graphic they prepare and share easily. I am planning to use this for all my events and expand it to our exhibitors as well.
Cons: The upload process is easy but make sure our data is clean or it can take longer than expected.
"Gleanin Makes Community Marketing Campaigns Intuitive & Stress Free"
Overall: The overall experience is a good one. I like the tool.
Pros: Gleanin's interface is just beautiful. It makes the user experience an enjoyable one. I found creating with Gleanin to be a very pleasurable experience. Even if you are just starting with Gleanin, the automated prompts and detailed guides will help you set up your first campaign within a short time. You could easily set up a campaign in as little as 10 minutes, provided you already have brand assets you intend to use such as your logo. From creating the image template to customizing the share tool, you'll find these actions are pretty straightforward. Finally, embedding your template in your confirmation page is as easy as it gets too. I had to grab the Javascript code generated and install it on the registration confirmation page to trigger the popup prompts. All in all, Gleanin is a great marketing tool if you want your webinars or event attendees and speakers to promote the event further. That's a form of community marketing that can make your event go viral.
Cons: There's nothing I don't like about the software. It does what it's meant to do perfectly.
"Must try Gleanin!! Very success for us!"
Overall: This helps save time and make sure that everyone is able to share with their network about the event!
Pros: Showcare loves the social media integrations as well as the other channels. Everyone seems to have an easy experience using this sharing tool. We have seen conversions coming through directly. Will 100% recommend Gleanin to anyone who asks. Client service is amazing!!!
Cons: The upgraded version from the Basic package was great, although we had a few misunderstandings to how to install it. But once it was coded, the tracking worked great!
"Easy and just what we need as a company!"
Pros: Gleanin is extremely easy to use, and does exactly what you need to do. With the easy to follow steps of creating your campaign you can get ready to go in a short space of time. You have complete control over creating your assets, or you can use your own. You can also add and edit your content, speakers and sessions with ease. The customer service is great, they're extremely fast to respond, update you on any new upcoming features and will also provide quick demo calls if you need some help.
Cons: Nothing, the software is great and works perfectly for our company!
"Amazing product - highly recommended!"

Pros: So easy to use. Very easy for a non-techhie to embed in our web pages. Easy back end tools for our marketing to create the visual elements. Straight forward for our speakers to create and share their own personalized banners
Cons: Jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj
"Great Results for Great Price"
Overall: Overall, great platform that delivers results for an efficient cost. Since posts are shared within the same community, it allows us to only reach our target audience.
Pros: -Ease of use -Reach to 100% relevant audience -Cost efficient
Cons: -Could use more design flexibility -Limited number of users to use the platform -Reporting could be improved by allowing to see results in a specific time-frame.
"Gleanin is a game-changer...."
Pros: Gleanin has been a game-changer for my campaigns! The results have been impressive and easily measurable, feedback from speakers is very positive and they are sharing more, and the time reduction for my team putting social sharing packs together has halved! 100% recommend!
Cons: There are no cons, I love everything about this platform!
"Thanks to the Dev Team! :) "
Overall: I really like working with Gleanin, super fast to respond to any questions and to provide help. Had a minor glitch and the Dev team in Brazil worked on it - when I returned back to my desk in the morning, it was solved! THANK YOU guys!
Pros: It's super easy to use, it's fast, easily integratable and you can actually track your campaigns!
Cons: Hard to think of something... I love this platform!
"Easy, Effective, Competitive"
Pros: The dashboard with all the results for each campaign. Personalized customer support with nice and reactive interactions every time. Visible results that you can quantify. Still improving every day and listening to feedback. Almost all automated, branded and easy for other users (speakers etc)
Cons: all cons have been addressed to the team and they are already improving the product with new releases. :)
"Great marketing tool"
Overall: I have been super happy as I've had more registrations as a result.
Pros: It is simple to set up, it doesn't take much time, and our speakers love it. We've had more registrations for our events as a result.
Cons: I would like the splash image for the invite page to be full width. But really, that's a very small thing! I love the platform.
