And You Should Too

Review: Feature by Feature

What is Active Campaign

Contact Management

Active Campaign manage and grow contacts with ease. It automatically detects the contacts timezone and location through IP Address. It can also view, add and remove contact that is tagged with it as well with automation sequences/series that contacts are currently on.

CRM Deal/Opportunity Pipeline

ActiveCampaign has released their new CRM sales pipeline and contact scoring, which is directly built into its system. It’s completely a free small business CRM with sales & marketing automation built-in which enables you to close more deals in less time. (love this).

Email Newsletter Broadcasts

Conditional Email Content – THIS IS HUGE! – this means you can send one email and have someone with let’s say a tag of Client see one version compared to people who don’t have that tag like Prospects.

Automations

Combined with personalization and dynamic content, you can create an entirely automatic sales force without losing that personal touch. Through the use of drip campaigns to send automatic welcome emails, engage with contacts on their birthdays, send contract reminds, automate sales follow ups, and more, you can focus on the contacts who will drive you the best return.

Integrating With 3rd Party Apps

One of the coolest things that sets Active Campaign apart is the fact that it comes with a free Zapier Account included with all accounts (including their Free plan). Fuzed App completely integrate with ActiveCampaign, allowing you to connect Membermouse, GotoWebinar, Google Calendar and Wistia into it with all the great goodies of Fuzed.

Website Forms

Customise the Double Opt In Confirmation Email per form (love this)If you do make your form Double Opt-In and someone who’s already on your database fills in the form, it won’t know they are already opted in and will still send them the email confirmation email before any automated series begin.

Online Enquiry – Step 1

Import/Export

Easily import from existing tools with the built-in free Zapier Integrations.They also offer to help you migrate over from another tool (haven’t used their service to do this so can’t comment on how good it is) I haven’t really spent enough time exploring this functionality to find out what I don’t like yet

Behaviour Tracking

You can track when people click, open, REPLY to emails (these can all trigger automations)Customised Lead Scoring that you can set the values of and what causes the score updates (very powerful)Be able to trigger a new automated series off of a website or webpage visit

Deliverability

The all important deliverability. I mean features are great but it’s worthless for your business if the emails aren’t making it into the inbox.

Support

Really pro-active, and fast even if you’re on the free plan.Regular Software Updates! Making the help documents more accessible from within ActiveCampaign itself, would have saved me some support tickets and wasted time.

Price

Compared to other tools with comparable features that start from $199/m to $297/m it’s hard to believe that prices start from $9/mIn fact there is even a FREE account!If you’re a business you’d be better to go on a paid plan to remove the ActiveCampaign Logo from the bottom of all your emails – much more professional and will help with keeping your spam scores low.
