Emotive: SMS Marketing

We've been with Emotive for a couple of years now and have had a fantastic experience. Service is exceptional. Stuart and JC Fajardo is always checking in to ensure we have everything we need, and providing valuable support throughout our time with them.

Emotive has been a great hands-on tool that continues to provide our store with the sms results we want to see. The tech integrations have been seamless and timely. My only complaint is that there seem to be a lot of missing features that would be nice to have, but the team is very quick to offer alternative solutions and work on product updates.

I had a great experience working with the team at Emotive. They were incredibly helpful and collaborative, ensuring that our account tracked users efficiently and accurately. What impressed me most was their understanding of how we wanted to target our audience across our various products. Jen and Olivia were particularly responsive and patient, addressing all of my questions promptly. I'm very grateful for their guidance in navigating Emotive's metrics. However, we only use Emotive for sending emails and not text messaging.

AVOID at all costs. I wish I read the reviews before engaging with this company. Buggy unreliable SMS and overpriced for what they offer. Shady business practices.

They are very shady and require a 1 year term contract, which they sneakily add in about the auto renewal is 1 year, and unless you notify them 30 days before the renewal date they don't let you out of the contract for the full year and "require" you pay the rest of the year, even though its billed quarterly+monthly.

I was reviewing their terms on their website and can't even read because their UI is purposely black text on black screens, making it very hard to read. Cannot believe this company. AVOID.

We have now used both Emotive SMS and their Pixel services. The people there are nice but on two separate occasions Emotive has grossly over promised and under delivered. We were stuck in an SMS contract that took our previous 40x ROI at Post Script SMS services to 2-3x with Emotive. The pricing and contract cost us dearly.

Fast forward years later, Emotive reaches out to have us try their new Pixel service which captures emails and sends abandoned cart messages, this time thankfully no contracts were sent as we have been using Retention.com for this same service but opted to pause and give Emotive a chance to redeem themselves. Our one month trial was an absolute embarrassment and again, cost us thousands in lost revenue.

Never again...

Never again! It's unfortunate but it seems like the classic tale of a company that grew too big too quick.
Customer service was appalling, you would have to wait days for a response & more often than not the response not correctly addressing the issues/worries/questions.
We asked for a custom plan as our usage did not include many of the features advertised. They agreed and yet never actioned the reduced costs.
After more unanswered queries on attribution & other such things we had no choice but to give them the flick. They carried on charging us and my god... Let's just say it would have been great if their customer service and overall service in general had as much determination and persistence as their accounts team! Have a question about attribution or even worse an issue that needs to be addressed? Good luck... BUT, Miss a payment and watch them come hurtling into your inbox!
Over priced waste of time. Never AGAIN!
If there was a chance of a ZERO star it would be selected, 1 is too many already.

Ryan, Jen, and Mhira are amazing! They held our hand through every step of the process making it such a wonderful experience. We were hesitant at first to enter the SMS world but the transition to SMS/MMS was seamless.

Great platform, and amazing support.
My experience with emotive is very positive. I have tried all other platforms and switched from Klayvio and Attentive and this is by far the best SMS platform out there.

Great software. We really liked the personalized customer experiences

Nous avons bien aimé travailler avec Emotive. Nous avons eu un bon retour sur notre investissement tout au long de l'année.
