EmailOctopus Erfahrungen

I have only been using an email newsletter for 6 months, so I’m new to email marketing. Email Octopus has a straightforward list management tool that I find easy to use. I like that my dashboard gives me my recent campaign stats. For someone like myself who is just starting to build a list, the price is great and the functionality is simple and easy to understand and execute.

Now that I’m 6 months in with Email Octopus, I wish they had some deeper engagement tracking per subscriber - i.e. location, time of open. Some deeper engagement tracking would help in understanding how, when, and where subscribers are interacting with the campaign.

Its pretty easy to use and makes campaign & list management very easy. The integration with wordpress is great as well. The tracking & analytics are fantastic so far showing detailed engagement for each recepient of our emails.

More templates could be added and made better, the forms could have a bit more customization to them both visually and condition wise.

It's user friendly, and it's free. I found out about EmailOctopus when Mailchimp started charging extortionate fees for having 1500+ subscribers. Email Octopus was a great alternative.

Some of the features are still a little basic, so I look forward to some new and improved design options in the future (fonts, shapes, etc)

It's very easy to build emails and work with forms and landing pages

Before being able to send any communication they sent you a set of questions about your data base and lists, where and how you acquire your contacts. They sent this like two hours before I've signed in. I'm supposed to give them all my info, wait for their approval and only then shoot my emails. This is absurd doesn't happen with any other provider I've used before (mailchimp, hubspot, etc)

The free option to start out with EmailOctopus is a very good choice to start out with. It enables you to see the functionality and send a good amount of emails before committing to a paid plan (if you need one). We have used a couple different options for email marketing, and EmailOctopus was the best all-around that we tried.

EmailOctupus seems to have fewer email templates than some of the other providers, however - the ones they have fit our needs perfectly.

user friendly and easy transition from prior email server

it could be a bit easier to add image & text boxes to existing template while creating newsletter

Easy to work with, easy to add an opt-in form

It has been very easy for me here. Could be because I have worked through kinks in other similar programs.

Email Octopus is easy to get started and has useful DIY options for theming.

It took a little extra time to figure out what the required tags were when using a custom theme.

Features, features, features and features

Few if any. The pricing is super competitive.

I really like the UI, also the site is very easy to use.

There's not really a thing a don't like, but if I have to say maybe more email templates.

I love that EO is so easy to set up and use - it took me less than 30 mins to set up my first automation (welcome email to new subs) and prepare my first weekly campaign. The UI was really nice too with the drag and drop builder (for someone like me who has no coding knowledge) and the flexibility to customise the layout even though I'm on a free plan. Also liked how generous EO in the early stages of growth for the user!

Have not run into any cons, but I would enjoy a more flexible builder UI that could help me standardise fonts and colors for the complete mail and be able to revert to it with a single click if any incorrect formatting exists. Also, pressing backspace to delete a word also deletes the space before that word, which isn't required (it slows down typing speed)

Easy to set up - great & timely help from the EmailOctopus team when needed
They give discounts for charities

One thing - It would be useful to be able to delete certain dates in Recurring Events without having to delete each event individually.

There's nothing else I can think of!

EmailOctopus is a more accessible, user-friendly approach to email marketing than other products I've seen. Instead of trying to woo people with fancy design and loads of features, their site design and client dashboard lets the product speak for itself. Everything I need is easy to find.

I wish EmailOctopus had the features I liked about Convertkit, so I wouldn't feel like I was missing too much. For instance, I'd create opt-ins with lead magnets, so someone would subscribe and be sent that opt-in — without me needing to create an automation JUST for that opt-in/lead magnet.

Email Octopus is extremely straight-forward. The way you use it and the pricing are easy to unserstand and make sense.

Nothing to add. I like it, and can't think of anything I dislike. Customer service was prompt at answering my inquiries.

EmailOctopus provides a dependable platform at a reasonable price, with exceptional customer service. Questions are swiftly and thoroughly answered. The platform is simple to use and offers a wide range of options that i have use to write our newsletter and email marketing content.

I'd want to see the email builder drag and drop functionality enhanced. It works okay, and the emails are attractive, but it isn't as polished as some other newsletter builder software that I have used. The email template should be more customizable and easy to add a design into it.

I've been able to set up automated email sequences to engage with my subscribers, and segment my lists based on their behavior, which has helped me to send more targeted messages.The integration with third-party apps and services has also been a considerable plus for me. I've also used the WordPress integration to add sign-up forms to my website and grow my subscriber list.

I've found the analytics to be somewhat basic, and I would like to have more advanced features such as A/B testing. Additionally, customer support can be slow to respond at times.
