So glad we found them!
We found EmailOctopus because our previous platform did not update their web integration so we had to add new sign ups manually (and one by one). We then found easier to use template customization, and were happy it happened!
There was a slight learning curve using another product for several years, but we had great support and emails from the team at EmailOctopus, we got back up and running in a matter of days.

Among all the email marketing platforms I have tried, I must say that EmailOctopus comes out on top in terms of simplicity, pricing and support. Their email deliverability is also very good. Feel free to check them out.
Email automation reporting not advanced.

Increasing subscribers and understanding the demographic profile of our subscribers
We use it for our weekly newsletter on Bali Tourism and Lifestyle sent internationally. I like the way it removed hard bounces and thereby bolsters the veracity of our mailing list.
No basic complaints. A few hiccups at the beginning - but accept those issues as part of keeping spammers away from your product.

Love EO. Wish I would have switched sooner
Compare EO to other Email Marketing and it is easy to use with all features you expect. Great value for $$ spent and accessible customer service too. Save money and use this great marketing tool.
At this point EO has all needed to run a small business marketing program.

I am able to effortlessly keep my contacts together and to get in touch with them whenever needed.
EmailOctopus seems more intuitive than some of their big competition and they send friendly reminders of essential steps to take. So far I am really enjoying my experience of working with them.
I haven't found anything lacking yet though that may change over time.

I tried a couple of times the support. Every time they answered my questions with a solution or at least a promise to update the web in the future.
I used other third web apps for my newsletter. I saw once a newsletter from emailoctopus and I decided to try. I was shocked how it was so easy the setup and the affordable price. I love the automation option. I use it for my funnels and it works very well.
I would like to redirect my subscribers to a custom page after the confirmation email.

It is a very user-friendly product!! I was using mail chimp for our Email News Letters it was difficult to navigate. Email Octopus is easy to navigate and adaptable to all of our firms needs.
Sometimes the blocks are hard to move around, but still a great product

I switched from Mailchimp to Emailoctopus when my mailing list grew and I think it was a good, money saving choice. What's more, Octopus is easy to use and their customer support is great. I highly recommend their service.
I'd like to get more data and figures about every specific recipient behaviour.

We like the fact that it works with AWS servers to help keep costs down and only pay for what you send. Although, we are still paying a decent monthly fee for the service on top.
- Can't duplicate a campaign once its been sent. This is a pain to have to recreate campaigns that you may just want to tweak a bit and resend to a new list. - No API to send mail. Big bummer. - More template options
Thanks for your review Brando. You can definitely duplicate campaigns, I've sent instructions on how to do this to your email address. As for your other feedback, we take it on board and appreciate it. We have a couple of things coming later in the year which may make you very happy, namely a new version of the API and a new editor.

I was impressed because this tool is flexible and easy to use. Automation and segmentation have helped us to create and send targeted emails to our subscribers. And this was a great savior to our business because our email list have exploded. And their web-based program is easy and flexible.
I love the email editor because it allows you to build both HTML text and simple plain-text emails. Also, it's affordable. Their customer support is also outstanding. Whenever I have questions they will answer them accordingly.
I like everything about this software. I recommend it to anyone looking for an email marketing tool. It is worth your bucks.

Excellent experience minus a couple of small annoyances
Easy of use, great customer service, and quick to respond to my questions
When typing emails, the editor is very picky and it sometimes changes fonts by itself. I have a. hard time keeping the color of the template without it changing color on its own. There are small annoyances compared to other programs but still, they take time to correct. It would be great if EO could look into these things and make the changes.

Overall, this has been a positive experience, and I would recommend EmailOctopus.
The price is excellent, and I love that they're unrolling features constantly. Two of my favorite features are automation (a must-have), and drag-and-drop design.
It's not always intuitive to use, so I sometimes have to ask for support. However, they always get back to me quickly. Also, I'm desperate for list segmentation and have been asking for that feature for a while now.
Hi Teresa, We have some good news on segmentation - we've just launched this as a feature so you can now segment your mailing list based on custom fields and the data that's most important to your business. Let us know how it works for you. Thanks, Tom

Recomendable, pero estudiar si es adecuada para tu empresa ya que existen otras herramientas similares (mailchimp, mautic...)
Su facilidad de manejo, una interfaz atractiva visualmente y muy intuitiva. Te permite crear y gestionar campaña de mailing muy rápidamente, y la gestión de las aperturas y rebotes está bien también
Más variedad de plantillas e incluir más variables y estadísticas sobre los mails enviados

For me, EmailOctopus is like what Mailchimp was, and what it was great about. Doing email campaigns and doing it right. EmailOctopus is that. And we love it.
It does one thing great but I would have love a bit of more user friendlyness regarding the list management.

It is super easy to use and very quick to set up.
I would like more options for the email sign-up form template they let you use. They do have API integrations that I have not dived into so this might change my mind.

I've enjoyed it and would recommend to colleagues, despite some improvements lacking.
Price is on-point, and the design elements work brilliantly. Quick and easy to implement.
More features would make this so much better - particularly the ability to segment lists and allow segmentation on the sign-up form, and reports available for longer periods of time to track changes.

I've had a great experience with EmailOctopus. One complaint that I have is that they don't have recovery codes to avoid getting locked out of an account that has 2FA.
I like that EmailOctopus is easy to use, accessible to all sorts of industries and is very affordable. They make it easy to understand the data and analytics in the reports.
I wish there was a way to view email data and effectiveness over the course of time (as in over the course of campaigns) so I could compare campaigns more easily in EmailOctopus rather than copy the data in to another app

Excellent experience - works seamlessly. I recommend it to other brands constantly
Very intuitive and simple to use. It avoids overcomplicating things
Would like more fonts and control over graphic elements when creating emails
Thank you for leaving us a review, Matt! I'm glad to hear your experience has been excellent and that you're recommending us to other brands. Just a small note regarding fonts – at the moment, custom fonts aren't supported by many email clients, which means your emails won't look the same in someone's mailbox. To prevent display issues, we recommend using standard fonts, but we'll definitely offer...

It has been very good. Support is above average. While there are far more powerful platforms, this offers a set of features that I think will satisfy 75%-85% of user's needs.
We've used EmailOctopus for around a year now and have found it easy to use with a great set of features. Bang-for-the-buck is about mid-tier as to features, but the overall ease of use and feature set is very good. I can ask non-techie folks to perform routine tasks and they get how it works pretty quickly. We were using a large and well-known competitor and found this platform far more pleasing to use.
Nothing, really. It works very well for us without drama.

a delight to use - from design to results - pretty much the most straight forward all in one package i've ever used...
From designing every aspect of your mailers, to click thru info - the whole process is easy to use, simple & straightforward.
sometimes feel the design structures are a bit limiting...but there's always a way round any problems....
