"Sweepstakes made easy!"
What do you like best about ShortStack?

Shortstack is an easy to use tool to build social media campaigns. We've been using it to build sweepstakes app for Facebook for several years. Very easy to use with lots of drag-and-drop functionalities. Easily collect email addresses and any other form fields you need. Customize to match your brand. All of this at a price that won't break the bank! They even have a free plan for smaller businesses.

What do you dislike about ShortStack?

No API for real-time integration with our top-tier ESP.

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

sweepstakes collection pages.

"The needle in the haystack"
What do you like best about ShortStack?

The use of widgets in buidling campaigns makes it easy to use, and the availability of an extensive template database, allows us to skip some learning time. Everything os drag and drop and you constantly have the ability to review what you are doing. Also there is small tips available everywhere, if you get stuck.

What do you dislike about ShortStack?

We haven´t been using the tool for so long, we are in the testing phase and so far nothing really has annoyed me.

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

This is the tool that allows us to create the interaction with our customers that involves them in the product and leads them to give us sign-ups and data enrichment on profile level needed to do proper marketing automation.

"Very powerful application for almost any business seeking"
What do you like best about ShortStack?

It truly is definitely very simple to established up a contest or landing site rapidly, with simple to switch templates plus the new topic customization. You could insert your very own codes and scripts to provide you with more characteristics as opposed to the wide range you'll find currently.

What do you dislike about ShortStack?

Information: retrieval and exportation are rather confined to your tiny amount of applications, as well as the deficiency of an API implies that there is certainly no workaround. My organization utilizes electronic mail and CRM resources which are not supported by Shortstack so all knowledge retrieval needs to be a handbook, which just isn't wonderful if we would like to call entrants ASAP.

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

We started off carrying out competitions eighteen months back whenever we bought Shortstack, and it really is proved to get a useful strategy of direct technology, purchasing alone numerous situations above. It can be permitted us to increase our prospective buyer's databases and achieve shoppers we would not normally have gotten before. It can be also aided us to assemble user-generated information, providing us with much more written content for subsequent advertising and marketing strategies.

"it is a total package for social media campaign"
What do you like best about ShortStack?

it think the new auto-response function is good.

What do you dislike about ShortStack?

i think there is not much options on the template style.

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

The most important thing is we don't need to rely on IT department or Google to develop form application anymore, with the easy interface and quite a lot of form elements options, everyone in my team can build the campaign. We can focus more on the idea generation instead of the production time.
