What are /r/MarketingAutomation's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

We've definitely heard plenty of "war stories" about the UI on the more enterprise focused marketing clouds like Marketo and Responsys. We just (like literally last week) launched a UI refresh that's pretty slick. Our old UI was already great, but the redesign is paving the way for a lot of major improvements we've been planning (visual workflow builder as an example).

​

We don't measure web property engagement (yet) in Customer.io, instead we're focusing on being the best solution for any kind of customer communication. I think most "enterprise" players in this space do themselves a disservice by trying to do too much. It's a slippery slope leading to super complex products that are overloaded with features (and prices!) you never needed in the first place.

Check out Customer.io

MarTech is a huge space though so there’s plenty of options depending on your needs. Some other notable names are Iterable, Braze, and Drip.

Are you looking for something email specific or Omnichannel (email, SMS, push, etc.)?

You can absolutely break into this field without a degree.

Check out teamtreehouse.com if you want to learn a little more on your own. But you can find some opportunities at smaller companies or startups through angel.co

Hope that helps!

Merry Christmas to you and your family!

I think you should keep the mobile setup like this website https://www.pexels.com/

Keep the tabs under search bar.. Keep it simple for mobile version so that it will be user friendly.

It depends on the type of automation you're looking to accomplish. If you're looking for heavy automation, Hubspot is a good option but keep in mind that the learning curve is pretty steep. It's also expensive; Hubspot automation isn't available on the most basic Hubspot plan so you'll have to pay to access their automation tools and also go through training courses to learn how to use them effectively.

There's other options on the market that are a fraction of the cost. ActiveCampaign has a great automation suite that has over 500+ pre-built automation recipes plus allows you to do a lot with automation, whether that's sending emails, tagging/organizing contacts and accounts, planning social engagement, the works. It's a fraction of the Hubspot cost and has free migration services to migrate existing contacts and email templates from your current service to ActiveCampaign.

ActiveCampaign vs Hubspot (from G2)

Yeah, it looks like that might fit the bill for what your looking for. I don’t have experience with it firsthand, but I use G2 crowd to vet new software systems and it seems to be getting a lot of positive reviews there:

I think the best way to acquire customers to get paid subscription would be solution like this on O'Raily

I'm not familiar with Square Space but I think that you can write to their support with examples of desired outcome and then they will tell you if it is ok or not.

Re: Customer.io I really wasn’t a fan - wasn’t intuitive, hard to update my list, I was having to do a lot manually in excel and then reupload, difficult to create and update emails.

MailChimp charges per subscriber, not per email - here’s info on their high volume subscribers https://mailchimp.com/pricing/high-volume/ - most have unlimited email sends.

Try checking out for zigihub.com i was using hubspot.com for a while and now i have settled for zigihub which i think suits us and was cheaper than any other tool comes with marketing automation

Hi Everyone

Regarding the "follow" blockage issue, Instarazzo team of developers has been trying to tackle the issue. Fortunately, the results are promising. Now the bot is working. However, for those still facing this issue, They have changed the proxy provider. Now you can buy an advanced dedicated proxy on the platform. by the way, the price for the proxy is €7.46.

Beware that it may take 3-5 days for the proxy to come into effect.

Hey, I'd recommend taking a look at Mautic (https://www.mautic.org) it's an opensource marketing automation platform that just launched about 3 months ago...but already has a ton of businesses using it. Either SaaS (hosted for you) or download and use on your own. Integrates super easy with SalesForce for your CRM.

Oh, and did I mention - it's free. ;) Let me know if you find it helpful and works for you!

I could link some general info, but if you are in need of technical advice it would be much more beneficial if you told us the CRM and Marketing automation system you plan on using.

Marketing Automation 101

What is CRM?

I think with that amount, it's the best if you can use mix Amazon SES, Sendgrid, mailgun, mailjet.

Because using one is easy to get block if you're sending a lot.

Our iMarketing Center app helps you config multiple SMPTs and rotate between those SMTPs when sending.
