Why use Act! Marketing Automation?

Five years ago Act! acquired a leading-edge marketing service, and merged it with the Act! product. The best marketing integration for Act! is no longer a link to a separate marketing service, but now is instead the built-in Act! Marketing Automation. Here are some of the reasons why:

  • Leading-edge functionality & technology
    • Prior to 2018, email marketing functions in Act! had limitations that caused many customers to use a separate service for marketing, however this was often costly, inconvenient, and time-consuming.
    • Then the acquisition & merging of a leading-edge marketing solution into Act! has allowed customers to leave other services behind, and do everything they need within the Act! system.
  • Easy to use
    • Intuitive drag & drop designer
    • Local support in Australia & New Zealand
    • Free online video training
  • Save time
    • No more exporting/importing/uploading/downloading lists
    • Send from Act! & see results in Act!
  • Save money*
    • Send 2,500 messages per month at no charge
    • Send 5,000 messages per month for AU$19 per month
    • Send 7,500 messages per month for AU$38 per month
