Emotive: SMS Marketing

Working with Emotive was extremely negative and exhausting.

Pricing elements such as carrier fees, taxes, minimum spend requirements is Confusing and poorly disclosed, Reporting is extremely unreliable.

I strongly recommend merchants to stay away and seriously consider Better and Cheaper alternative solutions before making the same mistake. AVOID!

I have been trying to cancel my subscription with Emotive for months now and they keep charging me. They were originally responsive but now never respond to any of my emails. The only time they responsded when I requested to cancel was to try and upsell me on their other services. DO NOT sign with them.

The integration was super easy. The best part about the Emotive is the customer experience managers. They are invested in the growth of not only my SMS list but of my brand overall. The one-on-one help is invaluable for small businesses.

We have been partnering with Emotive for our SMS marketing needs for several years now, and our experience has been nothing short of exceptional. Emotive has proven to be a very reliable and effective partner, seamlessly integrating into our marketing strategy with minimal effort required on our end.

Their platform works efficiently in the background, allowing us to focus on other aspects of our business while they handle our SMS campaigns with precision. The ease of management and the outstanding support from their team have made our collaboration smooth and productive.

I highly recommend Emotive for anyone looking for a dependable and efficient SMS marketing solution. They have consistently delivered great results for us, making them an invaluable part of our marketing efforts.

Emotive has been instrumental in increasing my bottom line at glo luxury oils. Initially, I was hesitant to invest $200+/mo but after the first SMS campaign, the ROI was 5x and it keeps increasing to my surprise each and every time I use it. The support team, Nikki and JC have been so helpful in creating campaigns and segments for me during busy seasons. The set up was a breeze as they held my hand through the entire process. After over a year of working with Emotive, I will continue to recommend this company!

The team at Emotive give an efficient and personalized touch that helps my company reach our customers in a powerful way that drives connection and sales.

It was great working with Emotive. 10/10 for their sales pitch, and 10/10 for their customer support. I've worked with competitor SMS marketing software before but no one can beat Emotive's customer support experience. Overall when it comes to numbers, SMS marketing has been the big thing for us in 2024, and Emotive's popup and pixel surely helped a great deal in that. They actually care about your growth.

We have been using Emotive for our SMS campaigns for over two years. They are a great company to work with and their customer service is fantastic. The platform is always reliable, and the customer service reps are always helping with suggestions on how to improve campaign performance (they are also very easy to reach). Their analytics are easy to follow and show exactly how each campaign is doing. We are a large company that sends over 100 SMS message a month, and have always had great results. Would definitely recommend Emotive to anyone who wants to increase their SMS campaign ROI.

I have been working with Emotive for a few years by now. Tried a different company but the results were not good and the customer service was bad. Decided to go back to Emotive and have been working with Ian. She is a very responsible, creative, responsive, and reliable person to work with.

Results are good and will continue to work with her and Emotive as long as the results are there and sales improve.

Here have been our pros and cons of Emotive:

Pros:
Great customer service and representative team- every member I've worked with on our service has been fantastic.

The service is robust with good analytics and best case studies. However, getting customers phone numbers can prove challenging and there needs to be specific consideration to your strategy of how you will do so.

It is probably the best text tool available on the market at this time, and they have a good ROAs return rate, assuming you have new customers and phone numbers collecting at all times.

They paired us up with a similar company to review what they were doing which was a fantastic aid.

Cons:
You cannot leave their contract and are essentially signing onto a year-long contract.

Currently there are more companies doing this type of advertising and customers are more likely to unsubscribe as opposed to email. We've had several customers be disappointed that they could not call us, or had to explain why we had an American # when we are based in Canada.

Overall, we would recommend them but be aware you are signing up for a year long term and will need strategy on new customer acquisition and for ways to collect phone numbers, which isn't always easiest at times. However, their team has been very helpful.
