"Flodesk Review"
What do you like best about Flodesk?

It's super easy to use. Absolutely stunning templates. The price is right. You get unlimited subscribers and the price doesn't increase like with most email marketing platforms.

What do you dislike about Flodesk?

It just came out of beta (was in beta for a LONG time). It can be glitchy sometimes. The support isn't the best I've seen with taking too long to respond or giving canned responses. It's not as intuitive or robust as platforms like Active Campaign and doesn't have all the measuring and analytics I would really like to have. Also, it can be difficult sometimes to upload your list(s) because they have a verification process to go through.

What problems is Flodesk solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's simple. It's quick. It's visually appealing. Benefits are saving money because of the cost but also not having the price raised as my list grows.

"Beautiful, but still needs some tools"
What do you like best about Flodesk?

The layouts are gorgeous. I primarily switched to Flodesk from another mailing list provider because of the layouts and overall smooth look Flodesk offers. The aesthetics also focus on simple but elegant styles you might associate with fashion/beauty IG influencers. The price also can't be beat. I'm paying a fraction of what I paid with my previous mailing list provider, and the newsletter building features and visuals are top notch and better by far. I also appreciate that Flodesk doesn't limit you to small image sizes like some other providers. It was such a hassle to have to reduce file sizes on others, and Flodesk doesn't have that problem.

What do you dislike about Flodesk?

There are some issues that I wish Flodesk would focus on. First, I wish image sizes were more customizable. The templates only offer you a few image sizes, which means oftentimes parts of them will be cut off because there's no perfect dimensions. I wish the reports were more robust with a lot more options. Coming from Mailerlite, what you can see in the Flodesk reports is very limited. Drip campaigns / Onboarding sequences is another area that doesn't quite meet other services I've tried. I'd like to be able to create different onboarding sequences and branches so that I don't need a second mailing list provider for that and can just use Flodesk on its own. My one other concern is that their FB group can be insensitive to users posting issues. Our industry is kind of a small community in that word of mouth spreads widely and quickly, and that is not the kind of reputation you want.

What problems is Flodesk solving and how is that benefiting you?

Flodesk has really simplified newsletter drafting, saving me a lot of time I can spend elsewhere, and it looks really professional and visually appealing even when I just use basic templates. The cost savings have also been significant, and despite the drawbacks above keep me with Flodesk.

"Flodesk is not a good email platform"
What do you like best about Flodesk?

The only good thing about flodesk was its initial beta price point. When I used it, I got it for half the advertised price. For those that use it, it isnt complicated for the most part.

What do you dislike about Flodesk?

Everything. They do not allow you to add fields to forms. You are limited to first name, last name, and email. You cannot collect texting numbers without rewriting the HTML code and tricking their database. The database has a phone field, it has an address field, you just cant use them. Also, Google scans keep saying they are using old Javascript code.

What problems is Flodesk solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am solving none. I have used nearly every email platform, and this is the worst I have ever used. The best benefit you can gain is to stay away! The price may be good but your marketing efforts will be hampered.

"With Flodesk I want to send emails to my list all the time. It's beautiful and so easy to navigate."
What do you like best about Flodesk?

I really love the intuitive set up because I have had so many tech challenges with the free platform I was using before. With Flodesk I was able to figure out my first opt-in page and my workflow within 3 hours. The customer service care is also excellent.

What do you dislike about Flodesk?

The downside was the pricing which I did find slightly high for my stage of business but it's well worth it for how easy and inviting it is to use the platform.

What problems is Flodesk solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's so much easier than the other platform I used previously. It's easier to make my emails beautiful and to set up a workflow, making me want to connect with my audience more regularly than before.

"Absolutely amazing for a small business that puts high quality and personal relationship first!"
What do you like best about Flodesk?

It's pretty simple, but you still have a lot of space for individuality. It's easy to handle and navigate. The design/layout of the Newsletter are so minimalistic yet so stylish and presents high quality. I like that a lot! It's easy to use, fast to understand, and within only a few hours, you can send a beautiful Newsletter to your clients. I LOVE IT!!!

What do you dislike about Flodesk?

There is always room for improvement. Everyone works differently, so everyone has different needs. There is definitely still room for more individuality in special regards. I have already submitted a few requests and feel they slowly but sorely are working through them all.

What problems is Flodesk solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allows me to stay in contact with old, present and future clients. I use it to keep them up to date and show them they are still vital to me. Not everyone has time for a personal connection with every single one of their clients (especially the old ones) but Flodesk enables this in a very suttle and beautiful way.

"The most gorgeous, intuitive email marketing platform out there!"
What do you like best about Flodesk?

Simple, intuitive, affordable, very beautiful software. I love using Flodesk for my email newsletters! The templates are beautiful, they just released extremely robust analytics (that blew my Mailchimp account away), and it's very easy to use, even for baby beginners like me. When they added custom fields to their forms feature, I was able to start personalizing my emails which has increased my engagement rate quite a bit. I don't miss most of the features I used to have with Mailchimp because the pricing is comparatively low. I also use Checkout for selling a few of my design templates. I've made thousands in sales in just a few weeks, so that makes me a happy camper!

What do you dislike about Flodesk?

I would love to be able to connect more services to Flodesk without needing something like Zapier. They currently have limited integrations so I use Zapier for triggering emails from my online shop. It would be nice if there were more integrations included with my Flodesk subscription.

What problems is Flodesk solving and how is that benefiting you?

My Mailchimp email marketing used to be the biggest pain point in my business. My emails were ugly and they took me hours to put together. I dreaded sending email campaigns. Now, with Flodesk, it takes me only minutes to send out emails I'm proud of. I've even gotten quite a few replies from my subscribers over the years saying how much they love the look of my emails! I never thought I'd say it's fun to create emails, forms, and online sales funnels, but it is now thanks to Flodesk.
