hey guys I have searched high and low for some reviews on what other dealers opinions on edifice automotive. They offer different package levels but I am more interested to know if anyone has used them and what their thoughts are. Same with KHOU and Autosweet.

If you have not used them any insight on who you like to use for e blasts and about how many times a month you do them would be greatly appreciated. (Or do you prefer to just do them internally through your own CRM)

I understand each one will have its pros and cons and we have used all of them but like I mentioned before I'd like some insight from pros.
 
Pretty sure every conquest email marketing program is 100% a scam. We got burned a few years back when our dealer signed up. Then we got burned again when we tried a different vendor.

Finally, after the third one, we learned our lesson and stopped wasting our money.

Rob that's interesting to hear, do you mind me asking who you were marketing to and maybe not all the details but just a gauge description of what happened
 

✨ AI Highlights

A dealer seeks peer reviews on three email marketing platforms (Edifice Automotive, Autosweet, and KHOU/Cars.com) and asks about best practices for blast frequency. Responses are limited and cautious, with one dealer warning that conquest email marketing programs are "100% a scam" based on negative experiences with multiple vendors, while another mentions using Atomic Mail Sender with acceptable (though imperfect) inbox delivery rates. The thread suggests significant skepticism about third-party email marketing ROI in the automotive industry, though no detailed success metrics or constructive alternatives are provided.
