Working Remotely, slack makes it super easy to communicate, stay connected and share ideas and documents with the rest of my team
Honestly...nothing. It suits my needs just fine.
Communication
The best thing about OIM is how easy it is to create split tests and see the results. There are a lot of options at a really good price and it's been driving a decent amount of leads for us. If only one person becomes a customer from this, it pays for itself.
There is no way to export data from the interface. The only reporting is in their UI.
There is a part of our website that has historically not resulted in any leads/customers. It's the largest traffic source for the site, however, so we're using OIM to leverage that traffic.
Easy User Experience in building optins.
Sometimes have a hard time getting them to display as I intend.
Building our lists. Grown over 20k in last 6 months.
Integrations with Marketing Automation are extensive. Optinmonster plugs the gap in lead capture on site that some marketing automation software doesn't handle well. Integrates with more than some of their competitors I've tried which was pleasing
Triggers/Rules are not very flexible. Being able to use simple AND/OR/NOT logic would greatly enhance Optinmonster. The present "Display Rules" is not very clear about whether a rule is AND or OR or XOR. Better rules system with good Regex or Logic would be a massive improvement.
Softer and easier lead generation in areas that a full form would not suit. Timely pop ups for events. Very flexible on how we can use it.
I believe that OptinMonster is of the best in how many products it offers in one platform. There are a ton of ways you can use this platform to effectively gain customers and create the most conversions. You do all the hard work to get people to your website, let OptinMonster make do the work to get conversions to the people that do come to your website
I wish their customer support was more available, responsive and able. I had an issue and it felt like I was asking a rock for help over and over again. I have been apologized to and have been contacted again, but it felt terrible knowing I couldn't get someone to help me when I needed it. I actually couldn't get OptinMonster to work at all during the trial period and had to cancel it completely and unplug it from my website as a result of terrible customer service. I, however, recognize the asset that OptinMonster can be to my business and have decided to give this platform another chance.
I need to create campaigns to grow my contact list. I need a platform to give away prizes. I also need to successfully track users who abandon their carts. I want to make sure I'm capturing every sale I can.
Cool product features like exit intent campaigns, interstitials, website banners, etc. Much easier to use than Google Optimize.
Not always clear or straightforward how to implement/launch. Doesn't always operate as expected and support can take a while for respond.
Helping reduce website bounce rate with exit intent campaigns. Also helpful when redirecting traffic through website sticky banners.
There are so many integrations that make it helpful for blogs of many sizes. We used the WordPress, Google Analytics, and HubSpot integration the most, but there are many others. The tool offers lots of templates and ways to get started quickly, but there's also a lot of availability to customize your opt-ins and track their success. The A/B testing feature was also really helpful for us to constantly iterate and improve with ease. The analytics in the dashboard are also pretty helpful, and we were easily able to see the success in Google Analytics, too with how we used the tool and UTM tagged our content even in instances when we didn't use the information capture function.
It can take quite a bit of time and learning to feel really ramped up with the tool and efficient with building opt-ins and adding them to your site.
We wanted an easy, dynamic way to capture more leads and offer relevant opt-ins based on our blog content like topics, tags, specific URLs, etc. It increased our conversion rate the more we were able to customize our CTA/opt-in based on the topic or specific post or page.
Great API with SharpSpring for easy setup of optin form tracking.
doesn't always work properly and doesn't tell you why it doesn't work.
Lead capturing and automation of lead management.
It does its job by providing many customizable options for adding various blocks to your site and blog aimed at converting users. A/B testing and analytics are good too.
User experience might be better as the visual editor is not that intuitive and it takes time to get used to it when creating campaigns. Sometimes it can conflict with your website/Worpress blog.
We were looking for a solution to add custom CTAs to our blog in order to convert its readers. Now we are running different campaigns both on the website and blog and they work fine.
The customization possibilities are very wide. You can customize the look and feel of your popups, forms and optins in many ways through colors, fonts, css and much more. Furthermore, the embedding process is very easy. It's integration with Hubspot helps us combine our lead acquisition efforts with our lead nurturing strategies by funnelling every lead into the correct nurturing path. It also helps us categorizing the lead in terms of interest, language and level of quality.
I can sometimes be buggy. Referring to the management dashboard being slow or not showing some data properly sometimes.
I am supporting and increasing my company's lead generation strategy though our content marketing assets by converting our simple visitors into actual leads.
