What are the alternative choices to Infusionsoft ?

[The Mad French]

Hi everyone,

I was recently looking at Infusionsoft and his awesome possibilities.
I currently use Mailchimp and feel restrained whenever I want to go deeper.

So, since I can't afford the huge prices of IS, I wanted to know if there was out there alternative choices much cheaper that allow us to :

- use a graphical campaign builder
- send emails based on advanced contact behaviors
- easily modify and rearrange portions of your campaigns
- see which user has bought through one of our emails
- track visitor activity from their first visit to latest purchase
- easily assign a source to each subscriber
- evaluate web form, landing page, and campaign performance and ROI
- connect transactions to contact records
- easily segment your subscribers based on certain criteria


I know some of the above points are possible with MailChimp (but it's not really intuitive), unfortunately many others aren't.
However, I understand that it's not the same price tag.

I've never used Aweber, is it possible to do more with it than Mailchimp ?
They have exactly the same prices so I doubt a little but we never know...

Any other advanced solutions that come close to Infusionsoft are greatly appreciated !

Thanks all and have a good day.

The reason why Infusionsoft has such a high cost is to keep the tire kickers and the undecided out. They actually help with the design and setup of your campaign(s).

Tips:

• Educate yourself on the power of tags.
• Find Jermaine Grigg's Automation Clinic

The majority of what I've learned and implemented with marketing automation comes from Mr. Griggs. When he says automate as much as you can, he really means it.

Hey Mr. "unpronounceable name",

Thanks a lot for your advices.
I will take a look at these solutions and at Jermaine Grigg's !

Yep I understand the concept and use of tags but let's say you want to send a customer that just bought something from your site in another campaign.
It's possible with Mailchimp but as far as I know, it's really a pain in the ***.
You will have to connect multiple services to have the informations you want.

Are you using Infusionsoft currently ?

Infusionsoft has a steep learning curve, but it is worth it.
If you're good with servers, try installing Mautic as well. it's not a bad open source program.
