ExpressPigeon is a powerful, efficient, user-friendly email marketing platform. I have used the service for 6 months. The email editor is fantastic. Super-easy to use, flexible, and clean. The emails look great when delivered. The list management services also work extremely well, with reliable suppressing of invalid or unsubscribed accounts and a variety of useful ways to organize and manage email lists. Customer service agents are reliable and responsive. ExpressPigeon delivers a fantastic enterprise-grade service at a fraction of the cost of Constant Contact or Mail Chimp.
There is very little that I dislike about ExpressPigeon. The reporting features could be stronger, but they get the job done. I would hope in the future to be able to drill more deeply into the user engagement data, at both individual and aggregate levels of analysis.
I write and publish a blog called Jeremiadus that includes an email component called the Journal of Jeremiadus. Jeremiadus is an experiment/experience in literary journalism. I use ExpressPigeon to mail the Journal of Jeremiadus to more than 10,000 recipients. ExpressPigeon lets me instantly reach a broad base of users, and gives me the confidence that people on my list will engage at high levels with the service I provide, knowing that it is reliable and that they can reply or unsubscribe with ease. ExpressPigeon allows me to accomplish these goals at a price significantly below the services offered by Constant Contact and Mail Chimp.
Great deliverability. Incredible customer service. Easy to use. Very powerful editor.
We actually don't dislike anything. Love this service.
Great open rates, easy to design emails.
The system thinks like a marketer/designer does. When I want an image somewhere, I just drag and drop it there. When I want to change the dimensions of a column, I just click and drag. No goofy coding and no "fixed" parameters. I can be free to create as much as I want - and deliver content to my users in a way that works for me. I've paid for the "big guy" systems at $20-$1,000 per month - and for email newsletter delivery, nothing comes close in features and value to ExpressPigeon.
I'd like to see them add some more digital marketing features over time - like campaign series that trigger based on certain rules etc. Also, they need to stay ahead of spammers so that their IP addresses don't get flagged by gmail etc. They seem to be doing a good job - but there's always room for improvement. Some of our newsletter recipients say they got notification in their gmail account that the IP address sending the mail has been known to send spam emails. That's not their fault - but got to stay ahead of the spammers.
Quick communication with our audience on the fly The ability to create beautiful newsletters within minutes
There are a few aspects that jump out, UX: design tool easily beats out it's competition, DEV: their api can't be any easier to work with, I was up and running minutes with a code based integration, CUSTOMER SERVICE: excellent response time and always eager to help!
Not a whole lot I dislike, the end-user experience could use some more dashboarding, but as I understand it this may be on the way! (excited to see it!)
We are using EP as both our digital marketing driver as well as our application based transactional email provider.
Besides a highly competitive price, ExpressPigeon has probably the easiest to use design interface of any email system we've used. You can drag and expand a column, drag and drop and highly intuitive modules. Also all templates are mobile friendly! For those who like data, you'll appreciate being able to see your deliverability rate. Most email systems don't disclose this data.
Not the most robust segmentation capabilities but I'm sure those features are coming.
