"Benchmark - Great for Mass Emailing"
What do you like best about Benchmark Email?

I like that you can clone an email to re-customize it for a different target audience. For example, if you have a promotion you want to send out to the clients of several agents, you only have to design the email once and then clone it for each agent. Then, all you have to do from there is change the contact information in the email and change the "send from / reply to " email addresses.

What do you dislike about Benchmark Email?

I have not found anything I really dislike about it yet. It offers everything I've needed so far. so I'm able to accomplish all of my tasks with one program.

What problems is Benchmark Email solving and how is that benefiting you?

We can use this to email several different types of recipients (vendors, clients and affiliate companies.) What's great about Benchmark is that you can personalize a mass email with any information you store on each individual's profile (name, company, etc.)

"I love Benchmark"
What do you like best about Benchmark Email?

Easy to use. Uncomplicated. Great customer support. Great value. When I had a problem with testing emails customer service happily fixed the issues and I was back

What do you dislike about Benchmark Email?

My emails usually end up in Junk or spam boxes even though I am certain that they are clean of any problems. It doesn't directly integrate with e-commerce programs. I don't like to having to purchase Zappier when other CRM's integrate automatically. It also has an issue with Wordpress integration. Email collection plugin is not customizable enough.

What problems is Benchmark Email solving and how is that benefiting you?

Delivers information to my audience and clients on a schedule. I love how easy it is to set up autoresponders.

"Easy to use Email Marketing program!"
What do you like best about Benchmark Email?

Interface is pretty self explanatory and easy to grasp. I don't find it cluttered.with unnecessary options and info like I have with other providers. They have a good overview of statistics and easy to edit templates with different integration options if needed.

What do you dislike about Benchmark Email?

Would like to be able to save and edit my own templates with only certain info that gets edited. You can duplicate past emails sent which helps, but an actual template for certain email types would be great.

What problems is Benchmark Email solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have used for several types of entities, but most recently have been using for a not-for-profit. They allow a free version for NFP which had been great and still is full of the features. The only limits are on number of contacts sent emails. We send out an email newsletter and event notices about 2 times a month to approx 300 contacts which is great.

"Everything I wanted"
What do you like best about Benchmark Email?

After reviewing a number of products (most notably MailChimp & AWeber) I selected Benchmark as being the most appropriate for a start-up. Isn't it great when you know you've made the right decision? I wanted easy design with professional outcome / auto responders with strong analytics / mobile app / list management / accessible support Benchmark gives me everything I wanted and tons more but the most important thing of all is their absolutely amazing support. One on one handholding when I've needed it, not that it is difficult to use. Sally Beers has been my assigned support contact since day 1 and is excellent at her job. Highly recommend!

What do you dislike about Benchmark Email?

Nothing yet - I have yet to use the product to it's fullest - but so far I have not experienced any problems

What problems is Benchmark Email solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am using Benchmark for client lists, sign up forms, autoresponders, email campaigns and surveys.

"Superlative email provider"
What do you like best about Benchmark Email?

Everything about Benchmark Email's system is set up so that it is easy for the novice to comprehend while at the same time incorporating extremely powerful features which will suit the most sophisticated user. Benchmark's tracking and reporting interface manages to display extensive information in a clear graphical manner so that you can comprehend how your campaign is performing at a glance, the social media integration is second to none, and their templates are highly sophisticated and attractive. If you ever run into any kind of problem their customer service is prompt, efficient, courteous and knowledgeable. All in all, Benchmark provides everything any email marketer would require... and then some.

What do you dislike about Benchmark Email?

Their interface looks great on mobile and smaller screens but gets a bit billboard-y on my 32" monitor.

What problems is Benchmark Email solving and how is that benefiting you?

We've done trade shows where we have garnered hundreds of permissions from clients to send email and we have found that implementing the double opt-in process with Benchmark results in very high completion rates.

"Benchmark Email provides flexibility at an affordable cost"
What do you like best about Benchmark Email?

Preparing newsletters is very easy with a user-friendly GUI. It also allows you to save the draft and continue at any other time, and you can always use previous newsletters as templates, which saves a lot of time.

What do you dislike about Benchmark Email?

The creation of lists could be improved. Sometimes, particularly when using spreadsheets, you must double-check to ensure the system has processed all the names.

What problems is Benchmark Email solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed an affordable and flexible system to compose and deliver a newsletter to customers and teams potentially interested in our products. We tried several and Benchmark Email was the best meeting our needs.

"Benchmark Email review"
What do you like best about Benchmark Email?

Drag and drop editor is one that I've been using for the last few years, it's quite user friendly and one can easily create email templates in a few minutes! Other than that, there are plenty of options to create emails, and sign-up forms from scratch, so totally worth it :)

What do you dislike about Benchmark Email?

Email deliverability is always a challenge for growing ESPs and the same is the case with this tool/platform as well, however, they offer dedicated IPs as well if the send volume is high, which is a great thing!

What problems is Benchmark Email solving and how is that benefiting you?

Using this tool for my marketing emails, sign-up forms, storing contacts/databases, and creating email templates. They have their CRM as well, which is super helpful.

"Awesome E-mail Marketing Tool"
What do you like best about Benchmark Email?

Benchmark Email is an easy-to-use email marketing service that comes with a bunch of pre-packaged templates and drag-and-drop features. This makes it easy to create eye-catching emails with just a few clicks, making it a great option for small business owners who are looking to save time and money on email marketing.

What do you dislike about Benchmark Email?

The redesign include accompanies a ton of cost when contrasted with the comparable items in the fragment. So provided that the objective is little client fragment the product is practical.

What problems is Benchmark Email solving and how is that benefiting you?

We can contact an enormous crowd rapidly. Benchmark permits us to see correspondence measurements that give us an understanding of what our crowd is keen on. Extremely helpful in like that way.

"E-mail marketing easily done"
What do you like best about Benchmark Email?

The contact list space is amazing with 2000 contact and one can upgrade that as well. A/B testing improves the campaign performance and thus emailing objectives are easier to achieve.

What do you dislike about Benchmark Email?

The upgrade feature comes with a lot of cost as compared to the similar products in the segment. So only if the target is small user segment the software is feasible.

What problems is Benchmark Email solving and how is that benefiting you?

To target users with email campaign, with A/B testing to get the best results. One can schedule and manage campaigns with triggering automatic email journey as well.

"Benchmark Email a great service!"
What do you like best about Benchmark Email?

This system has allowed to attract new clients and in turn make great advantages or move the traffic of our website, it seems to me that it has extremely attractive simple and simple tools which allows to be much more agile When creating .edit marketing campaigns, we have not had any kind of problem we have had innovation managing to release the work stress found in marketing areas.

What do you dislike about Benchmark Email?

Personally, the use of the system has been innovative, the tools are varied and each one offers a different characteristic, the most relevant are sending campaigns, receiving the analysis and design, however, each of them works differently, however we believe that the design area can improve in the future.

What problems is Benchmark Email solving and how is that benefiting you?

We definitely say to use this system because it has allowed us to advance in our Marketing. Currently we use a digital marketing system in a more complicated way because we use corporate emails to be able to send campaigns, however we only reached a certain number of clients for that reason We did use a software that will optimally expand this process is for that reason that we say to use the Benchmark Email system because it has allowed us to dock our campaigns and send them not only a small number of clients and not a large number of clients mass emails with the In order to attract new users and audience for sales, I find it a useful system.

"The software is easy to use and offers a variety of designs."
What do you like best about Benchmark Email?

I like that it is easy to combine lists, and that the software only accepts a contact (if that contact is already in the combination of the list). In addition we can create and use lists is very simple, especially with the new updates. Adding contacts to lists works well with several options, I tend to upload Excel files to make new lists, very easy within Benchmark. Something easy to use when creating emails: select blocks and design; but the source code is not so easy to decipher and use (my commands do not seem to take). Using attachments, links and media is easy enough as well. The reports (open, click through etc.) are very good, however, with the new interface, it is not so easy to go back to the original email report (it seems to me that I have to choose again from the list of reports) .

What do you dislike about Benchmark Email?

I do not like that I can not "forward" emails according to my own schedule (I do not have to wait 1 week after the last shipment). Also, Benchmark DO emails get stuck in Junk Spam Trash Promotions recipients' folders and we must remind you (often) to check your email. Also, by "copying" an email to use it and changing its name as a new email, I do not like the software to select the "old" contact list to send via email. I have sent emails by mistake to lists of old contacts and that was not a good thing in my situation. The learning curve was steep, but short. We had a couple of false starts, but we learned from our mistakes.

What problems is Benchmark Email solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am satisfied and will continue using Benchmark. I started with a free trial and I upgraded to a paid service. I plan to stay at Benchmark for a quarterly newsletter and use it to send special invitations or emails. I used other email marketing programs, I chose Benchmark because I wanted an inexpensive option for a project for a client. I would say that Benchmark is easy to use and easy to learn, especially if you have ever used an email marketing program, but like all software programs it has its peculiarities and you learn to deal with them. Unlike other email programs, the reference index allows me to send as many emails as I need without having to pay extra. I think Benchmark is one of the only platforms that allows me to pay based on the number of records and add the number of emails I send.
