Rasa is incredibly easy to setup for one or multiple instances. The curating of content is superb. A really intuitive platform.
Would be great to see some additional newsletter design options as well as lead capture options.
Rasa is fantastic for keeping consumers engaged with content specifically curated for them. We are able to capture more emails, and maintain engagement because the technology behind this platform.
I like that I can set up my blog feed, podcast feed, and a combination of my favorite sites’ RSS feeds to populate the newsletter with my own content and links to content I’m reading that I think my audience will appreciate. Bonus: Rasa.io integrates with HubSpot, so I can easily use my HubSpot lists.
I haven’t found anything yet that I don’t like
I wanted an easier way to assemble my newsletter. Rasa.io automates several aspects of the process, plus they begin sending customized emails to audience members based on member preferences.
I volunteer for an organization where we'd struggled to write relevant and timely newsletters that offered any real value. Leveraging Rasa.io allows me to produce meaningful, aggregated content that my list is responding to and engaging with. The time needed for set up was reasonable. The time needed to drop an email each week is minimal (which is really welcome by this volunteer!)
I really can't highlight a dislike. At every turn where I've stumbled to use the software (inevitably user error on my part), they've been very responsive!
We're using them as a platform to manage a mailing list for our organization's member base. We're very happy with open and click rates to date.
Ability to cure content and keep your audience engaged. I highly recommend it.
What is not to like when you have a tool that saves you money and help you ad value to your prospects and clients alike???
Cutting down on time we use to spend in creating a Newsletter for out clients and proapects
Very easy to use. And if I forget a week to add my own content, it's OK because Rasa pulls from my blog feed and Facebook group posts. When I do add posts manually, Rasa will pull the meta data and image. Then link it back to the original post. When I look at my stats on my blog traffic. I can always tell which posts were used in the Newsletter, they tend to have 5 to 10 times more clicks than posts that were simply shared in my social platforms.
The new subscribers to the list are not integrated with my own Mailchimp account list. I am using the Free version. I'm sure the paid version has this option.
Engaging with my list of clients and prospects. Keeping them updated with current marketing and SEO news that I find interesting or worthwhile myself. Sharing great posts in this format has helped me make a few product sales and affiliate commissions from the post clicks inside the newsletter.
I have four local directory sites, and I didn't want to have to write separate newsletters. Now with rasa.io I am able to push content from all four to the one newsletter. I love it.
I'm not sure. I would like to be notified when I have a new subscriber. It might be something in the settings I have not yet discovered.
I would like to find out how to remove a source.
This newsletter system is a time-saver with all the bells and whistles. Imagine that you can run an A/B Testing on your newsletter campaign. Easy Right? Now, imagine you can do A/B/C/D/E/F/G/... to ALL your audience. Here is how it works: First you set your Schedule, RSS feeds, set your desired look and feel of the newsletter, add your logo, add your offer, and add your links. Second: (YOU ARE DONE) you do not have to do anything else. This fantastic A/I system will randomize Subject Titles and articles and show those articles to your audience depending on what articles they opened in the past. My open rates are through the roof and the engagement is great. I maybe change a few graphics and some of the links every month but That is it. The best newsletter system by far.
The only thing I think they can improve on is Reporting. You get reporting on your dashboard however in other platforms, there is a way to print branded reports. I have been in contact with Customer Service about this and they are working on it. However, If I ever have a question or need an explanation of any of the reports, Erica with Rasa.io is always helping me when I have questions. She has been always available and very diligent to answer my emails.
Automation is the best benefit. Everything Rasa.io does, you can do on your own. However, I do ALL of my newsletter tasks in 10 minutes a MONTH. Not kidding. Once your newsletter is set with feeds and design, YOU ARE DONE! the system will get good titles, articles and add them to your schedule. automatically. You get an email a few days your newsletter is scheduled to go out so you can review it. Done! I love it.
I like it's simplicity. The website is very intuitive due to its simplicity. It's walk-through in sending your first newsletter is easy to understand. The ability to change any of the metadata really helps if you want a little control over how the articles are presented in the newsletter. I also use ConvertKit and love that it can pick up new ConvertKit subscribers and put them in my newsletter list automatically.
I really would like it if they could add a call to action button in the newsletter. We are all businesses after all. Without a call to action button the newsletter seems a bit passive. I worked around that by bolding my text and all caps, then attached the link to the link. But a nice button would get more attention.
Rasa.io collects articles and blog feeds for me. But the best part is that it automates the curation for me. All I have to do is approve the articles. Then the newsletter gets sent out. Curation should take more than 10 minutes each week, or as frequently as you want to send your newsletter. This is revolutionary for me because I no longer have to babysit the process to release a newsletter. It's truly a program in which I can set it and forget it.
Finally found the perfect newsletter creation tool. Struggled and tried many different solutions over the years. My opening and click rates are much improved and I received plenty of positive feedback from subscribers after switching to Rasa.io. Easily integrate third party content as sources for your newsletter. Design one time, write a few posts on your blog (own website or Facebook, etc.) and you are good to go and have weekly or bi-weekly professional newsletters sent - this is what I really like the most! Just write a few posts a week and forget about it - Rasa.io will do the rest.
I'd wish there are more different packages available - now it is either free, $29 or $299 per month. Contact management could have more options, but maybe it is good they keep it simple. Overall, there is actually nothing to dislike.
Problems solved: spend minimal time and effort to have professional newsletters sent on a regular basis - I always struggled with that. Benefits: automated newsletters with real good content
I love how easy Rasa.io makes it to find high-quality content from my own organization and outside sources to put in front of my readers and my association members. Beyond the ease of its automation, Rasa.io as a company is especially qualified to assist those in the nonprofit association space. They have been extremely generous in allowing associations to use their platform on a free trial basis to help associations get important messaging out to members during the coronavirus pandemic. They know their audience well and provide a great service to the association community.
Rasa.io does take some getting used to. It is not like other conventional email programs such as MailChimp or Constant Contact. You will have to learn a new way of doing things. However, once you get the system figured out it will save you so much time and effort. The time it takes to get up to speed on the platform is time well invested. In addition, Rasa.io provides great technical support and customer service.
We started using Rasa.io in March of 2020 at the start of the coronavirus pandemic in the United States. We needed a way to get a lot of information out to our association members who were classified as essential workers. Rasa.io helped us tremendously in keeping our members up-to-date on the lasted information they needed in the farming community.
I don't have to think about the content.
That you can't have more than one newsletters set up
My continuous communication with my clients without even having to do anything!
The ability to sit back and relax knowing that rasa.io does all the hard curation work for me. I have a super busy work load so having that taken care of lightens my load
I wish there were more than just 10 RSS feed options for the free version
I’ve realized that the personalization aspect of rasa.io’s newsletters has made my audience really feel like I know them
Rasa.io was easy to set up, decreased the time to develop our newsletters and increased our open rates. Customer support is amazing even with the free trial. Highly recommended!
Everything was great from set up to support!
Our productivity has increased.
I like there easy to use portal where i can also import my contacts from third party tools like Hubspot, Salesforce, Mailchimp and many more. I can also use enormous email templates for my newsletters and can customize easily.
Nothing till now. Just expect they will keep adding exciting features and makes our life easy like they always do.
Previously it was a big headache for us to have email templates designed for our company's newsletter. But now with Rasa.io our newsletter management is done easily and in the best manner that we could never have achieved.
How Rasa uses AI to curate and customize content for the individual subscriber.
How I have to manually add new articles if my RSS feeds don’t have new content. It’s tedious and very time consuming. Also, I don’t like how Rasa still sends a newsletter out if I don’t have enough articles. And I’d like the option to “send now.” Some things seem glitchy or tend to lag such as logging in (I couldn’t log in on the weekend and couldn’t get support in time to stop my newsletter from going out), or seeing the analytics once a newsletter comes out. Also, no personalization - I can’t include subscriber’s first name in the text.
We can reuse our content and tailor each newsletter to the individual subscriber.
