"The Smart Marketing Platform for Data-Driven Businesses "

What do you like best about Blueshift?

I like that I can go into the dashboard and view metrics that are important to my business for email success. Also, the ability to track email template performance alongside campaign performance has provided actionable insights for our business.

What do you dislike about Blueshift?

Some of the newest updates have been rolled out with little communication and I find myself discovering them on my own versus being told about them.

Recommendations to others considering Blueshift:

If you are looking for a method of utilizing data to drive your email marketing efforts, this is the platform for you. It goes beyond the normal email send and allows marketers to apply data to provide customers content and/or communications as they need them.

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

Our main problem was the ability to provide our customers personalized content and at scale. With BlueShift we are able to share our top content with customers who will find it relevant to their experience on our site.

"Powerful but user friendly platform, good customer service"

What do you like best about Blueshift?

It's extremely flexible - so you can do the basics easily, but if you want to do something more complex, there's usually a way to do that, too. We jumped straight from Mailchimp to Blueshift and the difference is enormous. Their customer service team are also excellent - Rohan is a great AM and the team who respond to support requests are always extremely quick and helpful.

What do you dislike about Blueshift?

Documentation could be clearer - so we have to ask fewer questions during setup and as we learn how to use the platform. Ability to build drag/drop flows with if statements would be really useful - currently you can build these flows, but it's not that easy (I believe this is on the product roadmap).

Recommendations to others considering Blueshift:

Really powerful platform and great customer service. If you're looking to take a step up in how you do CRM, you should definitely check out Blueshift.

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

Better tracking of user activity on-site and in emails; ability to send targeted, relevant, timely comms and to set this up flexibly; drive up our user retention and engagement levels through being more agile and with access to use more detailed criteria.

"Great platform and great customer service"

What do you like best about Blueshift?

Blueshift is great because you can create emails that are relevant to their user, their interests, and their interactions with our brand and website. The customer support team is always happy to help and come with solutions quickly, succinctly and work with me to make sure that I can continue to use the platform they offer.

What do you dislike about Blueshift?

One of the downsides with Blueshift is that there is a lot of technical requirements, which means unless there is someone on the development team who is specifically working on Blueshift, it can restrict it's usage. After all, you can't use this platform correctly without the data!

Recommendations to others considering Blueshift:

Ensure that you have a good IT or development team who will be able to provide ongoing support to use Blueshift.

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

Blueshift has allowed us to send targeted recommendations to users based on a number of their attributes and attributes with the products on our website which has increased our engagement rates immensely.

"Intuitive platform with good customer service"

What do you like best about Blueshift?

It's a comprehensive, user-friendly, robust platform with tons of cutting-edge features. Blueshift makes it super easy to build campaigns, pull reports, and look extensively into data. I've found the email heat maps extremely useful and have helped us make meaningful strides in CTA placements.

What do you dislike about Blueshift?

Although Blueshift is a great platform we have ran into small quirks like GIF's not uploading correctly. Nonetheless, customer service has been great and issues are fixed rather quickly.

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

Blueshift has helped us make better data-driven decisions in terms of email marketing thus far. We have such great insights into email metrics, and it's helped us with our automation strategy.

"Powerful automated and predictive marketing solution"

What do you like best about Blueshift?

I really like how easy and intuitive the application is to use, helping the marketing teams to really focus on the creativity without having to worry too much about the execution. The tool opened up new ways of reaching our users while delivering more personalised content based on behaviour. It also gave us the opportunity to try new marketing concept and step away from mass marketing.

What do you dislike about Blueshift?

No many aspects in fairness, I think the team is working hard on addressing any gaps highlighted to the. The reporting side of the application is good but could be (and will probably) better from a campaign engagement matrix stand point.

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

We managed to quickly change the marketing mind set from a manual single channel/content approach to an automated multi touch point and personalised strategy without too much effort.
