"Best and easy to use email marketing tool"
What do you like best about Kit?

The best thing about ConvertKit is that it is novice friendly and has easy navigation. It has tons of pre-built email templates, landing pages, and form templates that you can use after minor modifications. It also has an intuitive list management feature. You can add them individually or in bulk, and they can also subscribe to your list using your landing page and form. Later, you can organize them by tag, category, and source.

What do you dislike about Kit?

It has all the features that I need for my email marketing. There is nothing to dislike.

What problems is Kit solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use its email newsletter feature to send offers and service updates to my customers.

"ConvertKit automations are next level"
What do you like best about Kit?

User-friendly layout despite tons of features. Automations forced me to switch from MailerLite to ConvertKit. You can tag leads and send them to different funnels etc. Then send personalized emails using automations. Custom fields make these automations even more powerful. Cherry on the top is excellent customer support. Moving from MailerLite was very easy. Just import the list and you are good to go with ConvertKit.

What do you dislike about Kit?

It becomes pricey as your list grows. It has steep learning curve especially when you are just starting out on email automations. Their email signup forms are very basic where you can change font, background color etc only. This can be improved definitely.

What problems is Kit solving and how is that benefiting you?

Putting users in automation funnels. And I am using it as a transactional email platform too. I t tags users based on onboarding completion steps. Then we see where users are leaving the most so we improve that plus users are sent email to complete onboarding from that specific step.

"ConvertKit"
What do you like best about Kit?

Convertkit allows you to create landing pages that solve specific use cases for getting customers to your product. Without the convert kit I wouldn't be able to optimize my business.

What do you dislike about Kit?

What is least helpful with Convertkit is that I don't like that there aren't any login integrations with google or single sign-on capabilities. It's hard to remember passwords.

What problems is Kit solving and how is that benefiting you?

I mainly use convertkit for email marketing purposes. This help solves all the use cases I must address when trying to traffic customers to my landing page. My business has increased by over 30% by using convertkit.

"Love this tool for email automation!"
What do you like best about Kit?

Simple user interface that is easy to use. I also love the automations and how easy it is to duplicate sequences for new campaigns.

What do you dislike about Kit?

Only downside is I wish I could add a subscriber to a sequence from said subscribers main "profile" page.

What problems is Kit solving and how is that benefiting you?

ConvertKit allows me to send emails to my list via schedules, one-off broadcasts, or automations triggered by actions. I love the different options and appreciate the simplicity and how they've split up the features.

"Connect Easily with ConvertKit"
What do you like best about Kit?

The tutorials and chat/email help are Great! Every time I ask a question, the representative responds quickly, with detailed information, AND includes links to additional resources, usually their very clear, step-by-step tutorials that include pictures and sometimes automations that you can copy and paste into your own account.

What do you dislike about Kit?

I haven't found anything I dislike yet - oh, I changed my web hosting and had to re-authenticate my domain to be able to send my broadcasts. This was a small speedbump but tech support and tutorials gave me all the information to complete that process quickly.

What problems is Kit solving and how is that benefiting you?

I like using ConvertKit so it's helping me enjoy writing emails and communications to my list. I LOVE the automations - the graphic interface allows me to clearly map out a series of steps. The tagging system is great for me. I have a few special interest groups and about once a quarter, I email my list and ask the members to pick their preferred interests by clicking a link, and then they're automatically tagged! (Well, they're tagged because I set up the integration following the tutorial!!) Also, A/B testing of headlines is super easy to use. I was always confounded by that but the way ConvertKit works it makes it really easy to see which headline gets the best open rates and response rates.

"Easy to use tool"
What do you like best about Kit?

Handy FAQs to solve how-to steps and on-time Custome Service chat support to answer questions about the products inside Convertkit, unlike another counterpart which provides a bot or delayed response.

What do you dislike about Kit?

The pricing is much expensive compared to Mailchimp and other marketing landing tool. If the user subscription is lowered, say $20 per month up to 1000 subscribers....

What problems is Kit solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is a great Automation builder with its user-friendly navigation templates to follow and build your form using custom fields readily available for easy usage and completion.

"Convertkit is key for business"
What do you like best about Kit?

As a digital marketer, I have used a wide range of email marketing services and here is why I belive Convertkit is #1. Almost every other email marketing service has the same flaw: they attempt to be a 1-stop shop. Meaning they dilute their main service with alternate features. A jack-of-all-trades but a master of none. Convertkit simply hyper focuses on email and getting you the most in-depth data, making them the master of email marketing.

What do you dislike about Kit?

The downside of having a service that solely specializes in email means that you will have to integrate with a large number of additional services to complete your marketing system.

What problems is Kit solving and how is that benefiting you?

They provide very in-depth data and tracking regarding behavior, actions and reporting for email campaigns, automation and broadcasts.

"ConvertKit has been a great way to automate our business."
What do you like best about Kit?

The tagging feature is really great because we've been able to keep customers separated based on purchase or what they've signed up for. This way we can better target our emails. The automations/rules was a big game changer. Through that, we've automated so much in our business, which has saved our assistant a lot of time to be doing other important tasks for us. All around an excellent product. I can't imagine running a business without it anymore.

What do you dislike about Kit?

I would like it if more other products naturally integrated with Converkit so we didn't need to use a service like Zapier so much. It seems most other services naturally integrate with mailchimp or constant contact, maybe because those companies are bigger? I'm hoping as Convertkit grows, there will be a lot more native integrations.

What problems is Kit solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is helping us better organize our customers so they get the most relevant emails for their problem. It is helping us automate our business and better collect information from customers, which is helping us know our customer better.

"A Reliable Email Marketing Tool"
What do you like best about Kit?

- GDPR compliant privacy-focused tool - Offers forms & landing pages to collect subscribers - Simple & purpose oriented landing pages - User-friendly UI - Easy email import & migration

What do you dislike about Kit?

- Sends email to subscribers to confirm their subscription - Though it's free to start but becomes expensive as your list grows - Not offer to create landing pages from scratch - URL of the landing pages are so wired they could have had a separate domain for this

What problems is Kit solving and how is that benefiting you?

Convertkit helps me build relationships with my audience in the form of an email as well as generate leads for my business. It saved me more hours by simplifying my email marketing efforts.

"The Swtich from Convertkit to ActiveCampaign"
What do you like best about Kit?

I enjoyed the weekly training Convertkit offered to their community whereas, with ActiveCampaign, I enjoy the monthly calls with an account manager to help optimize the CRM system.

What do you dislike about Kit?

I did not like the cost per subscriber as the email list was projected to grow. I would have liked to have more monthly calls to talk about some of the issues that come up with optimizing the list.

What problems is Kit solving and how is that benefiting you?

At this time I am no longer using Convertkit. However, I still use their lead magnets to help optimize my website traffic and provide great content for my clients.

"Best Tool to Automate Your Email Campaigns"
What do you like best about Kit?

The Simplicity of using the Software and various opportunities to segregate users based on the funnel journey or our email engagements. However, what I love with this software is the email open rate which is always on a good note which means most of our emails are ending up in Inbox or Promotion folders. The creation f segmentation and usage of tags is also the best thing which I have used multiple times while using the software. Creating automation with convertkit is very very easy

What do you dislike about Kit?

Yeah, there is only one disadvantage in segmentation. Convertkit will count a user from the date of subscription, If he purchased a product on a specific month while creating segments and trying to segregate the particular month users It won't consider the user from the date of purchase, It will segregate based on the data of the user joined one. In the creator pro plan, there is a solution for it.

What problems is Kit solving and how is that benefiting you?

Email Reach is the biggest problem convertkit had helped us in solving, we found a lot of our emails are ending in inbox and also we have seen a clear difference in email open rate from day 1 itself. Email automation based on the funnel journey is one of the features which also reduced the lot of manual work. Also, the best thing with the convertkit is we are open to doing experimentation without disturbing the existing templates or setup which is also a good feature.

"Super Intuitive and so much functionality for free!"
What do you like best about Kit?

It's simple, straightforward, and incredibly user-friendly. It has a ton of functionality for no cost whatsoever and allows you to create multiple different assets for your business on the same platform rather than signing into 5 different ones!

What do you dislike about Kit?

I don't love that my forms and landing pages have a weird domain name because it's hosted on Convert Kit, but it's a small price to pay for a good program. Plus you don't really see the URLs when it's a "click the link" kind of situation

What problems is Kit solving and how is that benefiting you?

They're really helping with my lack of website-building knowledge. I never thought it'd be so simple to create a landing page or form for my customers, but it was absolutely easy to do... and even kind of fun!

"Experience with convertkit"
What do you like best about Kit?

Converkit is best for automating the campaigns as well for best email campaign creation here the best thing is that we can create the landing page or thank you page as well and use that for remarketing purposes which is not available in most of the tools

What do you dislike about Kit?

Needs complete customization for users, like predefined templates or rules to define in the campaign so that we can use it to the maximum optimization of the campaigns

What problems is Kit solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main benefit i am getting from the converkit is the easy creation of emails or most helpful in creating the remarketing campaigns, so that i dont want to create multiple campaigns here
