GrooveMail Review- CRM Tool of the Future?
Do you know what is GrooveMail? Well, the name, “GrooveMail” gives away its identity. By the name you can understand it is a customer relationship management (CRM) tool. To simplify more, you can say, it is an email and SMS marketing tool, or service.
There are hundreds of similar services and tools in the market. Some are very good with high reputations. And they are on the market for years!
So, why GrooveMail is different, what is the big deal about GrooveMail? Why I have started my GrooveMail review saying it’s the CRM tool of the future?
In my GrooveMail review, I’ll emphasize this particular issue. And also, give a light touch on the feathers and functionalities. Because, if I don’t, it would be hard for you to fathom what GrooveMail is capable of.
So, I’ll spotlight the reasons to prove my claim- it is the CRM of the future. But I’ll start with why it is the tool of the future first and then, I’ll go through the features and the functionalities.
Why GrooveMail is the tool of the future?
The first reason is that GrooveMail is still in the beta stage. You know, you can do a lot at this stage. That means you cannot use all the features in full swing right now. But you can use most of them. You may think of it as a disadvantage, not an advantage, right?
Not so. Beta-stage means you can have it now cheap. A lot cheaper than the original price. How cheap? A lot! Check the price comparison chart below.
So, you can take it as an investment for the (near) future. A lifetime deal is on right now with a one-time payment. The deal will benefit you for the rest of your digital marketing career.
GrooveMail will be functional soon, within months from now. So why not take advantage of the beta stage? This apart, I have listed a few benefits of GrooveMail as follows:
Reason #1 GrooveMail Is FREE for life!
It is true! Don’t take my word for it. Go ahead and sign-up for a Groove free account. You’ll get the GrooveMail for free with other essential digital marketing apps. Don’t worry! The account is free and all the apps are free. And it will be free for life!
But there are some restrictions on GrooveMail’s free account. You can store and manage only five hundred contacts on your free account. You need to upgrade your account if you need more than five hundred.
Reason #2 GrooveMail Is One App Integrated With 16+ Digital Marketing Apps
You must understand that GrooveMail is not a stand-alone app. It comes with sixteen other essential digital marketing apps. The advantage is you can cross-utilize other apps functionality with GrooveMail. For instance, you can create a sign-up form in GrooveMail. And then integrate to a page created with the groove page builder called the GroovePages.
Reason #3 Comparative Pricing With Other CRM Tools And services
GrooveMail’s price is a lot cheaper compared to the other apps and services on the market. You cannot get a GrooveMail account without the other sixteen Groove apps. Even so, the price of the GrooveMail alone is more cheaper than any other email marketing service.
Let’s compare with ActiveCampaign. They charge $149 per month for only 2500 contacts if you pay yearly. So you need to pay $1788 per year for only 2500 contacts.
You can get GrooveMail for $1997, not per year! You pay once and enjoy it for life! No further payment whatsoever! Moreover, you have the liberty of managing 10,000 contacts in GrooveMail. Within the GrooveMail lifetime deal, you are getting all 16 GrooveApps as well.
Reason #4 Acquiring GrooveMail Means Acquiring other 16 Digital Marketing Apps For Free
Let me show you what are the apps you are getting with your GrooveMail account. And then we will show you the comparative prices of similar services on the market. Here is the list:
