Emotive: SMS Marketing

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.

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.

We enjoyed working with Emotive! Their team is always very responsive and they also help you plan out and schedule your campaigns. We had a good experience working with our customer success manager. Overall, they’re a great solution for brands whether looking to get started on SMS or to grow their list!

Emotive's onboarding experience is second to none. They took the time to understand our specific business goals and tailored their training accordingly. Their support team goes above and beyond, offering creative solutions and always being available to answer our questions.

Words can’t describe the sheer happiness I experienced working with MJ and Maris of Emotive. I was on the fence as a small business owner in moving forward with SMS Marketing for my online store because there were so many options and so who can you trust. I am so happy that I fell into the hands of MJ and Maris of Emotive because they walked me through, step by step, the process technically and conceptually. In less than 1 week of onboarding I saw more than a 10x return on initial spend budget! As soon as I thought it could not get any better, my success manager with Emotive just added to the assurance of continued growth with a detailed action plan, guidance and strategies. This company and trusted staff is a game changer!

The Emotive team is on top of it. Very responsive and follow up quickly. Easy to use and effective.

The Emotive team has honestly been the key reason I decided to switch from Postscript. They were so hands on from the day we had the first zoom meeting. They followed up with me constantly even when I was slow to respond (we were in our equivalent to Black Friday). They worked out very competitive pricing for us and everything I needed to make the transition smoother they did in a timely manner, which as business owners we know is super important. I truly could not be happier with my experience.

The dedicated team that helps respond to customers truly is a selling factor I don't think they push enough. Emotive is so awesome with this! The are times our team is busy and we don't want costumers having a question that isn't resolved. They handle the responses that they can.
Truly happy we switched

The Emotive Growth Team has helped us to scale our SMS and social advertising efforts by creating a seamless experience for social media users to become part of our digital ecosystem. This led to an increase in net new business and better retention of existing customers. They really work to understand your business and goals while collaborating on initiatives that move the needle.

Great support and super easy to set up! We literally spent 5 minutes and we were all set with the Pixel. Oftentimes times, when setting up new software, the onboarding is slow this exceeds my expectations. Additionally, we have seen a huge lift in only 3 weeks thousands in recovered revenue and customer data.

The customer service is great. They helped me get all the important things set up during the trial period. They were willing to accommodate for my seasonal business and gave me a discount and support even though I wasn't able to sign a year contract. It is easy to set up flows to reach customers with relevant messages. It integrates well with Shopify.
