    Landing page creator

    Sign up forms within newsletter tool (opt in-opt out process)

    Pricing

    The pricing here is difficult to get a read on, as the service is entirely customized. You won't be charged a set fee or even an amount per email or subscriber. Instead, you’ll talk with an agent and describe exactly how you’ll be using the service and what you require, and then you’ll be offered a customized quote. 

    Customer Service

    If you need to contact the support team, you can do this by phone on 800 220 1136, or leave your email address and query on the website, and wait for a reply.

    Summary

    If you’re looking to improve your employers’ efficiency by taking away their repetitive tasks, DemandForce has automation options to achieve this. It also allows you to personalize a lot more emails, which should strengthen your customer relations. But, while the quote-based pricing means that you’ll pay for exactly what you get, it's hard to rate such a service with no idea of its costs.

    A service with a similar level of automation options, but more clarity when it comes to pricing, is SendX. Here, you can also allow personalization to be taken out of your hands, but at a clear cost, starting at just $7.49 per month.
