### "very intuitive easy to use"

September 19, 2018

5.0

Pros

I have found that I can create the best html emails using benchmark email. Very easy to use. Downloading contacts is very easy if you have a list.

Cons

Wish you could copy and paste more then 50 contacts at a time would be a huge time saver. Cost is a little on the high side.

### "Better than Most"

May 31, 2019

5.0

The emails get through most spam filters without obstruction and we have gotten some great traction with our subscribers.

Pros

The user interface is simple to use and user friendly enough.

Cons

There are some things on the user interface that you cannot edit or do, but for the most part you can tweak almost everything you would want to. The cost is also a bit high.

Alternatives considered

### "Benchmark makes my life easy!"

November 19, 2020

5.0

My main objective was to create a monthly Newsletter. I was successful and hope to continue, and probably upgrade for more tools and benefits.

Pros

The templates and tools are very user friendly. Able to make a professional looking newsletter in a short amount of time. Easy learning curve to create great email blasts and content. Lots of support from Benchmark reaching out to make sure I was engaged.

Cons

I am happy with it so far. I will be learning more about the capabilities as I continue to use Benchmark's services.

### "Used it several times and like the ease of use and the analytics"

June 27, 2017

4.0

Quick email templates to send at moments notice or plan for future campaigns.

Pros

Quick and easy method to sending mass emails and I like the up to date analytics with open rates and bounce backs as well.

Cons

Cost was a little more than I could budget at this time; we are a start up division and unfortunately we have to scrutinize all expenses.

### "Our first tool of digital marketing"

May 23, 2019

5.0

As our first try of digital marketing, it’s very good to learn how digital marketing works and effect on our business.

Pros

Easy to use. HTML emails we made looks very professional even we don’t have special skills. We didn’t even see support pages so much to figure out how to use.

Cons

None. So far, we are very satisfied. When we sent out the HTML email, we get reactions much more than we expected.

### "Benchmark for School Newsletters"

September 2, 2018

Having multiple users on one account is a great feature

Pros

We just started using this at my school for teachers to communicate with parents. Creating templates is easy and the parents can read the newsletters easily on their phones.

Cons

Wish you could insert videos directly into the email and not a separate link.
