"ShortStack has provided exactly the service we needed."
What do you like best about ShortStack?

Easy to use and learn, doesn't require any coding knowledge and offers good selection of design themes to suit our brand.

What do you dislike about ShortStack?

Interface works inconsistently, specifically editing in modal window hasn't worked in recent updates, requiring extra steps to set up campaign.

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

Shortstack allows us to provide ticket and other giveaway offers to our users through Facebook but also on our website. Has allowed us to expand our email list/contacts and also help clients offering tickets expand their base and reach our to new audiences.

"Powerful Social Media and Contest Tool!"
What do you like best about ShortStack?

The free plan is a great fit for our SMB. Shortstack's campaign templates makes getting started easy and their team members were quick to respond to my questions

What do you dislike about ShortStack?

I wish the builder was a little more user-friendly. It seems pretty simple, like drag and drop but it doesn't really explain what everything is used for. Wish they had tutorial pop-ups that walk you through the features when you build your first campaign.

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

I was able to put together a customized Facebook Contest in a day when our other vendor fell through. We were able to automate our follow-up process from gathering entries, to thanking them for entering and to make sure they shared this contest with their friends. ShortStack created relevant touch-points throughout our customer's journey that alleviated the need for a dedicated team member to nurture campaign from start to completion.

"Shortstack is a great tool"
What do you like best about ShortStack?

I like that Shortstack's offers different and simple to use settings for even a non-programmer to start. Styling is also quite straightforward with its drag and drop functions and the preset theme makes it easier to follow. Also the variety of set-themes. The main reason I recommended this platform to my colleagues was also the easy-to-integrate function on to Facebook.

What do you dislike about ShortStack?

Lack of materials (video, blog post) to follow if I have would like to tweak the functionality of certain actions or widget. Personally, I think more preset themes can be added.

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

Shortstack help cut down setting up additional sites for our marketing promotions.

"Mixed emotions"
What do you like best about ShortStack?

Shortstack is a powerful tool to build interactive pages for Facebook apps etc, with widgets and templates covering many of the popular interactive mechanics, with quite a room for customization.

What do you dislike about ShortStack?

The interface is a bit outdated, sometimes it is hard to figure out how exactly something should assembled together from the available building bricks to get the result you need.

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

We ran a whole range of lead capture and engagement campaigns and I see the key advantage in being able to quickly put together an interactive page without requiring support from the tech team or outside agency

"Shortstack + TravelNevada"
What do you like best about ShortStack?

Some of the templates are great. It's simple to use, and cost-effective.

What do you dislike about ShortStack?

I really wish there were more quiz options. That's what we'd really like to use ShortStack for, but the current templates are not useful to us.
