Constantly swapping social media links back and forth is the digital equivalent of playing the cup switch carnival game—except now everyone loses. (“Uh-oh! Which one’s the active link?”) It wastes time updating links across all bios and even forgetting certain platforms in the shuffle. SleekBio is presented as an easy way to feature the best content in a social media bio, without having to manually update every profile each week.

Chose Benchmark Email
In the past, I have used Getresponse. I found it very handy for Affiliate Marketing but not good enough for Corporate Marketing. I then incorporated Benchmark Email into my arsenal because it is good enough for both Affiliate Marketing and Corporate Marketing. With the upgrade …

We used the free trial of many competitors, such as Mailchimp, Constant Contact, etc. Basically, Benchmark Email provided the best value for the money. The fact that we could get some economy of scale on the extended contract as well as the introduction of split a/b testing …

I stated this plenty of times in my previous responses but we moved to Benchmark from Mad Mimi. Mad Mimi's feature set is extremely basic and only suited for start-ups or very small businesses. Benchmark provides enough customization to take the next step in your email …

At the time of the decision, we anticipated a larger audience and a high potential cost of MailChimp. We also believed that Benchmark Email would be less complex and therefore quicker to implement and learn. Given the current needs and pricing, I believe MailChimp may be …

Benchmark is very good for sending business email for products and services and especially for sending white papers compared to the others. But it also depends on your requirements.

User Testimonials
Benchmark EmailSleekBio
Likelihood to Recommend
Their free option has no time limit and accepts an email list of 2,000 contacts. That's generous considering that some similar software have free trials limited to a month or less and will allow only about 1,000 contact lists, if not less. With that 2,000 contact space available for free on Benchmark email, I can gather 2,000 leads or buyers into my email program without paying. Thus, Benchmark Email is suited for profitability, especially for a start-up business.

Cons
  • Glitchy editor - powerful drag and drop features, but precise formatting can have issues.
  • Stagnant platform - few notable features or fixes over the past two years.
  • Delivery Success - anecdotal customer reports suggest high percent of emails are diverted by spam filters.

Return on Investment
  • We were able to reduce recurring costs by 20% per year by buying an extended contract plan.
  • Benchmark is more robust than our previous software, and we've been able to increase newsletter sales by about 10% per year.
  • We were able to introduce split a/b testing into our newsletter mix, as it's a native feature of Benchmark.
