Campaigner Email Marketing Review and Pricing

Why We Chose Campaigner as Best for Larger Businesses

We chose Campaigner as the best pick for larger businesses because of its robust customizable features set, such as autoresponders and automation workflows. These tools allow businesses of all sizes to personalize their messaging to recipients and set up triggers that will automatically send an email (such as a welcome email) based on an important date (birthday, anniversary, etc.) or action (purchasing a product, requesting more information, signing up for a program, etc.) This is especially important for larger businesses with lengthy contact lists, as business owners of larger businesses typically lack the time to offer a customized experience to every contact.

Additionally, Campaigner offers social media integration that allows businesses to connect their social media feeds into their emails, creating a multichannel marketing strategy that boosts engagement across the board. Since larger businesses typically have a more robust following and presence on social media, these integrations can attract even more email subscribers and social media follows.

Overall, Campaigner streamlines tedious tasks (e.g., autoresponders send out immediate responses to contacts) that larger businesses might not have the time to worry about and personalizes the customer experience, despite the many customers the business has. This type of customer experience demonstrates a business cares about its customers and values their support and loyalty to the brand.

Ease of Use

We found Campaigner to be easy to use and implement, with a drag-and-drop editor and more than 900 templates that you can easily customize with your own colors, images and logos. You can drive more sales and revenue with Campaigner’s multichannel marketing automation. Implementing the software and integrating it with other platforms, such as social media sites, takes no time and streamlines your entire marketing process, helping larger businesses reach a wider audience.

Campaigner Features

Campaigner offers a number of valuable features and tools, including the following.

Workflows

Through Campaigner, you can build powerful and complex email automation workflows. We were impressed with Campaigner’s drag-and-drop workflow builder, as it easily helps businesses create workflows that support their specific needs. This allows businesses to nurture leads, win back customers, foster repeat business and turn existing customers into brand advocates. We also like how you can personalize your customers’ buyer journeys by using multiple triggers to automatically send emails for certain events or based on contact field or conversion values.

Additionally, you can access Campaigner’s optimized resources to support workflow execution. Depending on the buying stage of a specific customer, you can customize messages that individually nurture their unique journey through the funnel.

Autoresponders

Campaigner offers users autoresponders, or instantaneous emails sent as a response to specific triggers. We found it simple to automate your reactive messaging so you’re never leaving a customer waiting with no response. Based on specific actions your customers take, like making a purchase or requesting a demo, you can schedule thank-you messages or other automated responses as confirmation. Additionally, businesses can schedule recurring messages (daily, weekly, monthly, annually, etc.) as a way to touch base consistently or address instances like renewal notices or anniversaries.

When crafting autoresponders, you can personalize your messages for birthdays, milestones and other important dates. Campaigner’s autoresponders help businesses, especially larger ones with many contacts, capture and retain subscribers’ interests.

A/B Split Testing

A/B split testing is designed to increase engagement, interactions and conversations. This feature lets you create slight changes to different versions of an email and then test the different versions against each other to see which one performs better. You can test different subject lines, designs, calls to action, delivery times, sender names and other aspects.

We like how once Campaigner determines which version gets the best results, it sends the better-performing email to the rest of your subscribers. A/B split testing can also help you determine which weekday and time of day have the best open rates.

Full Email Editor

Campaigner’s email editor has a variety of features, including tables and personalization options. We found it easy to edit and create emails using the drag-and-drop editor, in HTML or with plain text. You can use ready-made email templates or create your own design to produce engaging email campaigns for your subscribers. We like that all templates are fully responsive, regardless of whether they’re on a desktop PC, mobile device or tablet.

If you’re not sure how to create a professional-looking email, Campaigner’s video tutorials will show you how to use its editor tools to create appealing emails. The process is simple and effortless.

Limitations

While Campaigner is a great option for larger businesses, it isn’t without its limitations. For instance, its free trial still requires a credit card, and there is no free version of the software, unlike many other email marketing software solutions. If you are looking for software that offers a free trial, check out our review of Constant Contact.

Additionally, Campaigner can be expensive for smaller businesses with limited budgets. This is why we recommend Campaigner for larger companies with lengthy contact lists and more extensive budgets.

We carefully examined each service’s online reputation and narrowed down our list to our finalists and spent several weeks researching each email marketing service by investigating its offerings, watching tutorials and how-to videos, testing the software (when possible), and reading user reviews.
