Great platform for small businesses to get their messaging out
Pluspunten
Templates and user-friendly features make it possible for anyone to create great communication without any programming background.
Minpunten
I sometimes have difficulty with formatting text, and controlling the spacing details in the rows. Perhaps this is a lack of training and expertise on my part - but that is a frustration for me.
I can’t speak highly enough about ReachMail.
Pluspunten
These folks know what they’re doing. My newsletter is the core of my marketing. As the sole income for my household, my marketing has to be solid, so I’m not going to mess around with anything less than the best newsletter service. Sending newsletters through ReachMail is easy, intuitive, and top of the line. But if you do have a problem, customer support knows how to explain things to non-technical folks. Customer support treat me like a princess. They even added a feature to one page to remedy a problem I was having with that page. They care about their customers. ReachMail Features (or at least, these are the ones I know they have): WYSIWYG Email Editor, Template Management, Mobile Optimized Emails, Dynamic Content, Subscribe/Unsubscribe, Mailing List Management, Drip Campaigns, Auto-Responders, Image Library, A/B Testing, Customer Surveys, CAN SPAM Compliance, Reporting/Analytics.
Minpunten
No cons, they’re that good! Anyone who’s dealt with mass mailings on a regular basis knows what a pain it can be. I’m so grateful to ReachMail for making it easy for me instead. Sure, sometimes they hit a bump because nothing is perfect, but they’re quick to take care of it, and don’t make excuses.
Excellent Choice in Email Marketing
We've used it for the past 4 years and love everything about it.
Pluspunten
The templates are great and ease of use of the entire software is awesome.
Minpunten
Some of the templates can be difficult to use. I think simplicity could be improved.
One Stop Shop for All Our Mailing Needs
Reachmail really has been a great service to work with. In the 6+ years of working with them, they have been a great, reliable ESP that goes above and beyond for their clients.
Pluspunten
Reachmail is incredibly easy to use with the ability to set up and send marketing promotions on the fly. I think my favorite aspect of working with Reachmail has been the excellent customer service. They have routinely gone above and beyond to accommodate our needs, offer professional guidance, and customize our account to helps us achieve our goals and optimize our mailing capabilities.
Minpunten
Off the top of my head, I can't think of ways in which Reachmail is lacking. If anything, the major con of working with Reachmail is not taking advantage of all the features and assistance Reachmail offers.
Very good but room for improvement
I don't have business problems as such. I'm a writer selling and marketing books and I use a number of service providers. Reachmail is one of the better ones but could be much better.
Pluspunten
5,000 subscribers (better than most of its competitors). The reporting and sending process is straightforward.
The site is basically good to use. The list cleaning system is particularly useful. It's always tricky to keep lists clean. If the system had a way of recognising spam traps that may inadvertently appear it would be a major step forward.
Minpunten
Deleting the entire list of subscribers when desired is cumbersome. You have to copy and create another list and fiddle around.
The WYSIWYG editor is not as good or sophisticated as some. I'm using it now (taken a break to fill in this survey). I can't insert margins around photographs (you enter figures, try to do it and image vanishes). Boxes appear and you can't get rid of them. A row of boxed symbols has now appeared which is new to me. They just get in the way. Take a leaf out of Mailchimp.
It's also hard to check and see if the autoresponder works. It does, because a list is added to, but to amend it is not easy. And it's impossible to actually SEE a form you already created.

David,
Thank you for your comments. We are working on enhancing the AutoResponders based on customer feedback. We have made some improvements in the past few weeks and more are pending in the near term. Feel free to let us know what you need. We always appreciate customer input.
List deletion is very simple. Just select the list and click the big red DELETE button. In your case, however, all your lists are tied to your drip campaign AutoResponders. Deleting them would break your drip campaigns. Our system is just preventing you from breaking your campaigns in this case.
For message design, we recommend you upgrade to the Message Builder we added about a year ago. It's a drag and drop editor that's a lot easier to work with that standard WYSIWYGs and it will always build mobile friendly messages. The WYSIWYG editor is still around for those with advanced knowledge of HTML and CSS, but for those that aren't experts, the Message Builder will do all the heavy lifting for you!
A great email program for business and marketing

Reach Mail
Pluspunten
I like Reach Mails customer service. They are always available to give you some help and their lists tools are very helpful when updating.
Minpunten
Reach Mail is updating their layout tools so it takes a bit more time to create email blast.
Great Value
Pluspunten
Reachmail has been a great way for our senior center to send out free, weekly emails as well as our monthly newsletter to better communicate with our members.
Minpunten
Resizing images is not easy. It would be nice to be able click and drag to resize.
Customer
Overall great!
Pluspunten
Has all the features and capabilities an email platform needs. Also, great customer service. Very responsive and always there to help.

Inconsistency of delivery to major ISPs

The software editor can be improved although is is not bad.
Antwoord van ReachMail
Roger,
Thanks for the kind words. If there is anything you would like added to the Mailing Editors to meet your specific needs, please let us know. We're actively working on a few enhancements requested by other clients at the moment and we always appreciate customer suggestions.
Reachmail
I’ve used Reachmail for several years for work and volunteer jobs. It is easy to use and the most recent version has important features. I’ve used other packages as well and Reachmail has provided everything I need.
Pluspunten
Customer support is excellent. I got immediate help when I had a problem with my ISP. Reachmail staff were quick, courteous and professional.
Minpunten
I’m planning on implementing HubSpot and I understand Reachmail doesn’t integrate with HubSpot.
Easy to use, Great customer support!
I use ReachMail to streamline the process of sending out bulk emails to the membership of a large non profit organization. It provides all the tools I need to create bulk mailings and manage my mail list. I am not a communication specialist, but have been successful thanks to the great built in help system and tutorials that ReachMail provides. When I needed more help I reached out to ReachMail customer support by phone. I can honestly say that was the best, most helpful customer support experience I have ever had. They were friendly, thorough, generous with their time, and competent in helping me to both educate myself and overcome the issues I was having.
Here is a list of their features, most of which I have used. A/B Testing, Auto-Responders, CAN SPAM Compliance, Customer Surveys, Drip Campaigns, Dynamic Content, Image Library, Mailing List Management, Mobile Optimized Emails, Reporting/Analytics, Subscribe/Unsubscribe, Template Management, WYSIWYG Email Editor
Pluspunten
The intuitive organization of the website. Large selection of 'getting started' videos. Extensive built in help system. First class live phone customer support.
Minpunten
It seems redundant to require both an account key and username when signing in and providing your password.
Great product
I have been able to reach specific customers depending on their languages and markets they are in with ease.
Reachmail has been very helpful in allowing me to provide important information on new lines o products in a timely manner and with very little effort.
Pluspunten
Ease of use
Import tools
Scheduling
Personalized email blasts with name and company
Minpunten
I have not found anything I don't like, it takes a little time to get used to, but is worthy.
review-1
I like Reachmail over all...
Pluspunten
I like the cost of the plans you can start for free and build from there.
Minpunten
I would like to see a landing page builder.
Happy to work with ReachMail
Keeps me in front of my customers with affordable email, link checking, professional looking emails.
Pluspunten
Love the price, the ease of use, the website support, the ability to format things for our particular business.
Minpunten
Occasionally I get hung up with the html and templates. I'm either not smart enough, or I know just enough to get myself into a box.
Great product!
Very nice product! We are a small company and used icontact and others. Yours is much easier and your staff is amazing!!!
Pluspunten
Very easy to use and a great value. Like the ability to link in the social media posts with the campaign.
Minpunten
The scaling/cost of email lists is incorrect - it count duplicates as part of the total number and costs more monthly. Also, not sure how to best manage the consolidation as I pull emails for different lists, e.g., california coaches, scouts, etc. which may have the same email.
My favorite email marketing software
Pluspunten
Reachmail is not as well know as some of the others such as constant contact and mailchimp but they are easy to use, great support and free (depending on list size)!
Minpunten
Although I've never asked, I don't believe you can set up a template. However, I don't use this functionality as I always code HTML.
Good service, great value
So far we've been pleased with being able to use their service to reach our members with important email information.
Pluspunten
We are a medium nonprofit company, and ReachMail is the most affordable solution for our company's mass emailing needs. I shopped around other services and Reachmail beat their price by quite a lot! Also when I have had questions there has always been a live person to talk to with prompt answers.
Minpunten
I still find it confusing when attaching documents to an email and using some of the templates. I mainly just create my own but it would be nice to have some templates that have themes for holidays and the like already included.
ReachMail review
I'm communicating with all my customers much better than before.
Pluspunten
I like the ability to change up the look of my emails easily and update easily.
Minpunten
It's sometimes difficult to move text around easily or justify. The biggest con is not being able to have customer service on the weekends.
Reach more people with Reachmail
I cannot send to more than 20 emails using my Outlook. When that was tried in the past, the whole system went down for several hours and the person who caused this was reprimanded. It caused a problem for the whole company, as none of us could use Outlook. Using Reachmail allows us to reach ALL of our clients and free up some time because it's easy to use once you know what you're doing.
Pluspunten
I can reach a lot of my clients quickly without worrying about my system crashing. The merge feature gives my email blast a personal touch to each and every client. Reachmail also allows me to see who did what with my email.
Minpunten
Understanding the stats. Need more training in that area.
Top business builder at your fingertips!
Ability to reach more people, and customer service that makes your business their business! They care about your success!

Ease of use!! Great product and customer support id outstanding!!

Nothing its great product! I am very satisfied with all aspects of the software.
ReachMail helps you reach your customers
So pleased we haven't explored any other options.
Pluspunten
ReachMail is extremely easy to use, we are able to produce professional, quality email for our marketing campaigns.
Minpunten
Like all software, updates cause a bit of discomfort when first introduced.
ReachMail provides our association with a user-friendly process for getting communications out to our members, and it had a great analytics system for us to monitor and identify who is engaged, and what content interests them.
