What do you dislike about PFL Direct Mail Platform?

Although PFL actively embraces new ideas, it has taken time to grasp our target audience and ideal customer profile. Transitioning Customer Success Managers has occasionally required us to reacquaint them with our requirements. However, once aligned with our strategy, operations proceed smoothly. Also, while the platform's user experience may feel slightly dated, it remains functional and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"PFL provides an easy way to add additional physical touch points in Marketing Campaigns"

4/5

What do you like best about PFL Direct Mail Platform?

PFL helps make the process of adding physical mailers to Marketing Campaigns much easier. By providing Salesforce integration, campaigns involving email, phones calls & physical mailers can be automated. This means that the coordination and manual steps that might otherwise be necessary on the marketing side are no longer a block to creating new types of campaigns or just evolving existing campaigns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PFL Direct Mail Platform?

We run into production delays on the PFL side once in a while, although that is typically due to components of a mailer campaign being outsourced. It is also important to be very specific regarding audiences, for example, international mailing requires additional time to be implemented and you won't have any mail going to Canada if the campaign is only designed for the US. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PFL Direct Mail Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

PFL handles the printing, storage and delivery logistics for direct mail pieces. Offloading the challenges involved with print, storage and delivery logistics allows our marketing team to focus on the creative portion of campaigns and less on the details involved with execution. Couple this with Salesforce integration and automation, and suddenly a small team can take on much larger projects than would otherwise be possible.

They also offer some creative mailers that can help to catch attention from recipients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"PFL's integration with Marketing Cloud makes it easy for us to trigger automated mail pieces."

4/5

What do you like best about PFL Direct Mail Platform?

The app integration with marketing cloud is easy to use and I like that we can use our own salesforce data. The use of variable fields is really nice and let's us do a lot of versioning within our templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PFL Direct Mail Platform?

I wish we had an easier way to see our mail templates. We can see the fields we're mapping to, but it would be nice to see the live version going out to customers. That way we can ensure there's no issues with the mapping or setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Over 15 years of partnership with PFL online solutions"

4.5/5

What do you like best about PFL Direct Mail Platform?

One-stop place for warehousing, fulfillment, shipping, kitting, reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PFL Direct Mail Platform?

templated, not a lot of room for customizing your program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PFL Direct Mail Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can provide a solution to my clients that is easy to use and allows them to have visibility into what the field is doing, what they are spending, what they are buying, etc. It also is a place where brand and corporate-approved materials can be housed in one place, making our clients look good in their organization. I have an admin role to respond quickly to any concerns, run reports, check on shipments and keep my clients happy with our customer service. The almost real-time response I can provide is pretty unusual and makes me stand out amongst our competition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Partnership"

5/5

What do you like best about PFL Direct Mail Platform?

PFL's customer-focused approach allows us to easily navigate the direct mail process and seamlessly integrate this initiative into our current work and alternative outreach/marketing methodologies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PFL Direct Mail Platform?

As costs are always an issue these days, it can be pricey, depending on how many add-on services one selects, on top of the basic offerings. That being said, it is great that these services are offered but not required. Some companies require customers to select a package whereby you cannot simply pick out individual services to employ, but rather have to select a group of services - all of which you may or may not ultimately use - but you pay for regardless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PFL Direct Mail Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?

PFL Direct Mail Platform allows us to partner with PFL's analytics team to employ a targeted approach to our direct mail campaign. Before partnering with PFL, we farmed out various aspects of the direct mail process to separate companies, which meant that aside from not being able to target specific households based on various demographics, we also were juggling multiple "balls" at once, as we had to manage multiple contracts and billing outfits simultaneously, as each was responsible for completing a specific step in the process.

The PFL platform helps us incentivize our customers to attend our onboarding webinars, which is a win-win for us and our customers. We also use gift programs to give swag to our top-tier customers and partners. PFL integrates seamlessly into our marketing operations platform, so I can "set it and forget it." Until I need to order more swag that is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
