Great customer service and product

5.0 6 years ago

Pros:

Software is very easy to use if you are creative enough to make it work for your business. We captured 40,000 contacts in 40 years and are able to reach out to customers via email newsletter and text. Our biggest advantage is bringing customs in for their birthdays with a discount coupon. They always bring friends! Thanks to Citygro I was able to sell my business with a huge customer list!

Cons:

Having to make sure codes work with our website but that's more of an issue with our website developer.

This product is super easy to use. Offers a lot of options.

I like that I am able to track my customers and send them text or emails from the software. There are many options available for what it is you want to keep track of.

Great Product Idea

4.0 8 years ago

Comments: I love the idea of the product. The fact that we can send out text, and emails to our customers. The way it tracks them and makes it easy for us to look them up. My only complaint is that sometimes our ipads have issues and freeze. We are in the mix of working with someone to try and figure out why this is happening.

Pros:

How easy it is to use and store stuff

Cons:

the fact that ours keeps freezing or wont always save the files

We love Citygro!

5.0 8 years ago

Comments: We have used Citygro from its beginnings in Cache Valley and have always had a great experience. The Customer Support is outstanding! When there is something we don't know how to do or have any minor issue, they are on the ball helping or fixing whatever we need. They are continually improving and adding features. Sometimes we don't know how to do something or things can get a little confusing (user error). They are always willing to teach and reteach or even just do for us. They are willing to schedule a conference call every time we get a new employee to teach them anything and everything about Citygro. We couldn't say enough good about the support! We've looked into different options for texts or emails just to make sure we are getting the best deal for our money and we have never found better.

Great all-in-one solution

Comments: CityGro has a fantastic all-in-one product. They offer a great package of SMS and Email Marketing along with an iPad kiosk solution. Only downside is high price if you don't use all the features.

CityGro is awesome!

5.0 8 years ago

Comments: Using Citygro is a no Brainer for FatCats! The team is so easy to work with and they make sure our account is taken care of at all times. I feel like I can call Luke or John at anytime and they will have my back with any project I need help with. Also, Mindy is a great asset to CityGro! She is so fast at emailing back and each time we chat she seems very upbeat and willing to help. We have seen our database grow over the past two years and I can't wait to see where we go next! Reaching out to our customers is one of our number one goals and CityGro helps us accomplish that goal! Thanks!

CityGro review

3.0 8 years ago

Comments: CityGro would be great however it does not link to Campus View. This makes entering contacts extremely tedious. There is the issue as well of not receiving notices when we receive a text. This is a huge problem make CityGro not easy to use.

Pros:

You can do mass texts though the process to do so is not easy.

Cons:

The fact that it does not link to CampusVue and that you must import an Excel file to do a campaign. Also, there is no notification when you receive a text so you're constantly having to monitor.

Essential Tool For My Business

5.0 8 years ago

Comments: City grow has been absolutely essential for my marketing automation. We utilize the kiosk as a waiver system and automate campaigns based off of their interactions with us. This has been the best "bang for the buck" marketing automation tools I've incorporated into our overall system.

Pros:

Ease of use and simplicity

Cons:

It would be great if there was a way to integrate with a point of sale system.

Super convenient program

5.0 8 years ago

Comments: Love the depth of options you can choose from. We wanted to find a program that just uses the phone for redemption so there would be no card required. Also love the ability to send out deals and important messages.

Pros:

Simple but powerful, can customize to do a variety of things

Cons:

The setup process is a little scattered but then again, there are a lot of things to customize.
