Chose Thryv
I chose Thryv not just because the price was budget-friendly but because of the ease of use and ability to learn how to leverage the platform to meet my business's growing needs.
Chose Thryv
I realized Thryv could help me BUILD a customer list and that is what it will really make my website work. I am counting on Thryv to help me get to where I am going which is a money-making plus-size clothing website by using all of its features. Thryv is not a quick fix it is …
Chose Thryv
Thryv is much more robust in what it can do. It is so robust that I learn something new it can do, or it offers almost every day. There are things that the others I tried did that Thryv does not, and things that the others do better, but when push comes to shove I went with the …
Chose Thryv
Let's say use this software because it gives a lot of benefits to the company and we no other software use do not.

Likelihood to Recommend
I have used CommuniGator to implement a monthly newsletter that sends our latest updates to our opt-in base every month. As well as this, if anyone opts-in after this newsletter has been initiated/broadcasted the new opt-ins will also receive the latest newsletter too to ensure we are communicating with warm leads.

Thryv is not for everyone! It all depends on the needs of the individual's business. If they are wanting to scale back on the number of tools they have to use and pay for, to accomplish their business needs and those tools include a scheduler, Social Media planning/posting tool, an email marketing tool, etc. then Thryv could be for them! If they are looking for a tool to automate some of the communications with their clients, Thryv could be a fit there, too! BUT if they are a small business, solopreneur, and need to start with the entry package BEWARE! The Premium package doesn't have the basic things that the more expensive packages do. One is a customized email signature so you can have you logo, picture, etc. in your email signature. This wasn't offered at all a year ago. I asked for it to be added. Evidently others did too because this week I got an email that they had added it BUT NOT for the Premium Package. Something that is basic that EVERYONE should have access to BUT you have to pay more! It didn't make me feel like a valued customer that's for sure.

It is very easy to use and the features are great for the ones we utilize. If you have any issues at all, customer service or our sales rep is great to work with and fixes what issues I have. They are always willing to help out and to follow up to make sure you don't have any more issues.

Although getting through to the right person may take a while, they have the ability to take over your screen and always assist with whatever you need.

I really like CommuniGator for the drag & drop interface in email building. I also really like the level of customer service with having a dedicated account manager but also the ability to live chat at any point and if this doesn't help, they are always happy to jump on to a video call so I feel very well supported. I also like how there are many products within one platform, lead nurturing, pop-ups, workflows, email, forms, social media management, etc...
