Omnisend Email Marketing & SMS

Great support from Olesia to resolve a long-standing issue I've had with automated emails. Thanks for your help

Works great! Highly Recommend!

Does exactly what it describes but its also VERY simple to operate. I was able to send out a newsletter (VERY NICELY PUT TOGETHER by the way...) in like 5 minutes after adding the app. I'm very impressed and look forward to seeing what else it can do. I never imagined it would be that simple. It also let me do a test letter to myself to ensure it looked good before sending out to over 200 people who had signed up for a newsletter. Clean, crisp and professional looking. I am VERY pleased thus far.

Very easy to use. Looks great. Free 14 day trial which I am currently using. I am a new store owner and this really helps with the sales.

I've been setting up some automation streams and one form. Most functions work pretty well, and some smaller issues were fixed with the help of the support team. Great support from Daryna - thanks a lot!

Could have been better...............

Just did my first newsletter I have used many different email marketing program but this was beyond easy such a joy to use
I even started getting carried away with the customization
loved it
Later i'll be tackling my first automation mailing

I have been through almost every email service provider. Honestly, so far this has been my favourite. I've been on support A LOT! They probably all know my name by now lol. Baarath at Omnisend is an absolute star. The guy was so kind, so helpful, and literally took me step by step by step to sort out my automation. He stayed on chat and waited for me to finish each step and tested as we went along without leaving me hanging 20 minutes in between interactions. What an asset to the Omnisend team he is. Five stars to him! Thank you Omnisend!

I was looking for an email marketing campaign and they are awesome! They answered my questions within seconds which is very important with my limited time! VERY HAPPY!

Updated review 10/31/2016:

I am sorry to have revise this review but we wasted so much time and money I want to make other shop owners aware. It all started very well, we had conversions and it is very easy to set up. The app is nice, the marketing plan is very good. However, and this is a big issue, it does not provide double opt in! THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM! Who at this day and age, doesn't have a double opt in option?! Please read on.

Our shop has been hit with a huge number of bot/fake customer subscriptions. It's nearly impossible to tell which is real and which is not inside the app, the emails are real but they are not subscribed by the address owners. We paid another service to have the email list checked, many of the fake subscriptions returned valid email addresses. The only clue is the subscriber name, which is not visible on the dashboard. Actually, very little information is available on the app dashboard.

We had our account suspended 3 times and were on the verge of being blacklisted with high percentages of bounces and complaints. Although the rep is excellent, they seemed to not think this was a big deal.

I personally spent 2 weeks trying to figure out what was going on. Waste of my very scarce time, and money.

We have our own domain, they told me that DNS records were not necessary at the beginning. Not knowing why we had such problems with our list's deliverability, I asked for the records to change the settings with the Registrar in hopes this would help. All other email marketing companies we worked with in the past (we've been on line since 1998) will provide this for free. They charged us an extra $59.00 for it and obviously, it doesn't solve the problem.

We had to move our list to another provider with the holiday season just starting. Spent hours manually cleaning it up as we don't send unsolicited emails. We LOST OVER 500 legitimate SUBSCRIBERS when we moved to another service, which requires double opt in. Since I had just sent a newsletter days before, guess they thought confirming was not necessary. These were actual returning customers, some had been with us for years.

It's a shame because the marketing plan is good, but the email list managing is very lacking and the support seems to think nothing is a real issue. It hasn't stopped the bots but at least those subscriptions don't get confirmed and are not sent emails.

We had just paid for the monthly app charge and the DNS records. When I asked for a partial refund (it was just a gesture after this mess), they denied it.

It took me almost a week to complete the move because of the outage, otherwise we would have uninstalled immediately. Yes, all this went down during the big outage in October 2016. It was a nightmare.

I love this app! It does everything you need for ideal email marketing. Great customer support, super easy to set up and run, easy to create campaigns, automated flows that bring results. Reasonably priced too! Only wish there was a bit more customization to the sign up forms (pop up and page) but I'm pretty sure it won't be long before these are added. If you know a bit of code you can do it, I just don't know enough to do it on my own. Other than that it's perfect. Try it out - I'm pretty sure you will love it too. Thanks, Soundest, I see great results everyday!
