Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We started using Shortstack in 2014 as our content management solution didn't allow for the fast and flexible deploy of contest/sweepstakes type experiences and, even more importantly, the ability to track conversions and funnels. Shortstack immediately allowed us to capitalize on the growing audiences on social media platforms by allowing us to create experiences that were highly Facebook friendly.
Pros
- Flexible templates that can be modified to meet internal branding guidelines or can be used as a starting point to create completely new experiences.
- Ability to embed any analytics tags to track conversions or retargeting tags.
- Built with the marketer in mind, not the developer.
Cons
- No API integration for email collection in real-time to major ESPs such as Responsys.
Return on Investment
- We've been able to collect significant leads using the platform.
