Customer Data Platform

Blueshift  serves as our primary customer data platform, enabling us to manage, curate, and update our customer segmentation while integrating that data into our email templates.

A specific example of how I use Blueshift  for customer segmentation and email integration in my daily workflow is that it helps us build all our customer journeys, triggered campaigns, retention campaigns, and promotional campaigns. We have a robust customer experience that spans over 100 campaigns, so it is quite intricate to manage.

Blueshift handles the intricate campaigns effectively by efficiently managing the customer information that we need, placing it and displaying it in a concise manner.

We are able to capture a wide amount of customer data at our organization, and Blueshift does an excellent job of organizing that data in a manageable way.

Blueshift offers excellent features including customer data management and segmentation, an intuitive easy-to-use user interface, quick and efficient customer support, API connection, campaign management, and dynamic list creation.

Among those features, the one that has made the biggest difference for our team is the predictive audience targeting, which empowers our brands to identify customer likelihood to engage, purchase, churn, and more. I also appreciate the generative content creation, which transforms text and images into content that perfectly matches the tone and style that best resonates with our customers. Additionally, the product and contact recommendation helps to connect customers with the product and content that is most likely to drive the highest engagement in our organization.

Predictive audience targeting, along with channel and time intelligence, helps to optimize campaigns so that we are able to deliver them at a time and channel that resonates best with the target audiences.

Blueshift has positively impacted our organization in many ways over the past four years by helping us consolidate processes for getting our products into one system, improving and introducing new email streams, and automating emails, which saves us 30 to 50% of our time. The introduction of new products into the email has been seamless as well.

To improve Blueshift, the customer support should enhance their response time, and reporting should be accurate while ensuring that the flow of data remains seamless.

The data flow can sometimes be quite slow, and that aspect should definitely see improvement.

I think there should be an ability to move customers easily from one campaign to another with one click, which should be very seamless.

I have been working in my current field for four years and seven months.

Blueshift is very stable, with no downtime noticed, making it fast and reliable.

I find Blueshift to be scalable, as it helps capture a wide amount of customer data at our organization, and it does an excellent job of organizing that data in a manageable way.

Regarding customer support, the response to our queries is somewhat slow, but they manage to respond. However, they should work on their speed in responding to customer queries.

I previously used Salesforce Marketing Cloud  Email Studio.

I switched from Salesforce Marketing Cloud  Email Studio to Blueshift because Blueshift's capability with events and segmentation is unmatched. With other CDPs, we have not been able to replicate the ability to create an event based on customer behavior that captures a payload of information regarding that particular action. Blueshift goes way beyond its alternatives.

I have seen a return on investment with Blueshift, leading to better segmentation, targeting, and intelligence that has resulted in a higher revenue percentage and better deliverability in our organization.

In terms of pricing, setup cost, and licensing, the cost can be high for smaller organizations working on a tight budget. However, for our organization, the cost is more cost-effective and affordable.

Before choosing Blueshift, I evaluated SparkPost as an option.

My advice to others looking into using Blueshift is that it has enabled us to capture a large amount of time-sensitive data within each payload, specifically regarding events. We can trigger campaigns and segmentations off that event data, which is essential to our success as a team and an organization. Therefore, it is a highly recommended tool, especially when managing large amounts of customer data that need to be organized.

The predictive score is useful for pushing content at the right time to potential customers.

I would rate this product an 8 out of 10.

My main use case for Blueshift  is to use it as a customer data platform, both to manage, curate, and update our customer segmentation and to integrate that data into our email templates.

A specific example of how I use Blueshift  for customer segmentation or email integration is that we are able to build all our customer journeys, triggered campaigns, retention campaigns, and promotional campaigns in Blueshift. We have a robust customer experience that spans over hundreds of campaigns, so it is quite intricate to manage.

In addition to my main use case, I capture a wide amount of customer data at our organization and Blueshift does a fantastic job of organizing that data in a manageable way. Specifically in customer events, we are able to capture large amounts of time-sensitive data within each payload specific to that event. We can then trigger campaigns and segmentations off of that event data. This is essential to our success as a team and as an organization.

The best features Blueshift offers in my experience are customer data management and segmentation, intuitive and easy-to-use UI, quick and efficient customer support, and an intuitive user-friendly interface that allows me to manage complex data easily. Blueshift also offers robust features such as integration with Segment  and other apps, retargeting with dynamic content pulled from data feeds and catalogs.

Out of those features, I find myself relying on the customer segments and recommendation tool in Blueshift the most day-to-day because it has helped with automating and personalizing our tags.

I would also add that the predictive score is very useful.

Blueshift has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to launch triggered marketing campaigns targeted to specific segments based on users' behaviors on-site and deliver relevant personalized content using the AI-based recommendations tool.

Blueshift can be improved by enhancing the reporting functionalities and ensuring that the flow of data is seamless.

I would also add that support should be more available 24/7.

I have been using Blueshift for three to four years.

Blueshift is very stable for my organization, as I have not experienced any downtime or lagging.

Blueshift's scalability is very impressive, as it can handle our data management, journey building, and customer events easily.

The customer support is a bit slow; they take time to respond, and they should improve.

I would rate the customer support as seven out of 10.

I previously used HubSpot Marketing Hub  and I switched because I feel that Blueshift has ways to get before they get near some of the upper tiers, especially those that drive successes and are willing to be involved in the everyday marketing strategy.

I have seen better ROI with more precise targeting, which has become more adapted to pressure. It was long to put in place, however, so it is taking time, so we do not have to lose customers easily. Additionally, we have seen an increase in improved introduction of new email streams, automation of email, and the introduction of new products into mail, but it has slowed the process of getting all products in one system.

I have seen a return on investment, as Blueshift has had a tremendous impact on our email marketing KPIs. The based approach and recommendation tool has led to increased engagement.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing has been cost-effective, and the settings cost was also effective and easy.

Before choosing Blueshift, I evaluated other options such as Adobe Marketo  Engage.

My advice to others looking into using Blueshift is that if you are looking for a tool to improve or to boost better segmentation, targeting, and intelligence which leads to higher revenue percent and better deliverability, Blueshift is the real deal. It is a highly recommendable tool for that work. I give this product a review rating of 8.
