Ambassador vs Keyhole

"Only Ambassador Program you need!" What do you like best about Ambassador Referral Marketing? The simplicity of setting up campaigns, the ability to monitor every ambassador and their sales, and the ability to pay ambassadors all in one tool! I have tried numerous other softwares like Referral Candy and this software hands down does it all, they have just released a new look and function which supports the backend that much better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Ambassador Referral Marketing? The codes are not as simple as a URL with our name, each unique code has to be mbsy.co/company/ambassador. These would be great if they were slimmer for handing out business cards or person to person marketing like a bit.ly shortcode length. But this software does the job right in the online environment of referring customers, it would just be better to put a friendly code on our teams business cards so there is a potienital sale during networking events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Ambassador Referral Marketing: Get a full time Ambassador lead internally to run your Ambassador program, someone with marketing and social media experience. It needs to be a full time job that a leader can guide quality ambassadors through proper messaging and communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Ambassador Referral Marketing solving and how is that benefiting you? We are solving the power of word of mouth advertising by using GetAmbassador, our marketing force is limited by the fact we are a company. Once you have a community spreading the word about your brand/product the sky is the limit. Ambassadors are more trusted because they are an individual, not a marketing organization promoting the product. The benefits we have seen are from Ambassador testimonial videos. The refer a friend campaign has provided a streamlined, consumer facing page that makes it easy to capture consumer emails and allows them to share via social media to their network of friends and family.

"Interesting and unexpected tool" What do you like best about Keyhole? I like how easy it is to generate my analytics report for my social media channels. The hashtag tracker is particularly useful and the insights have proven to be of great use for our campaign. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Keyhole? I dislike the scheduling content part, I thought it was going to be easier, more user-friendly and allow me to upload carousels and other social media needs, sadly I have not been able to use it because the UX is a bit uncomfortable, but I hope this can be fixed in the future. I also dislike that in the dashboards, where the dedicated individual graphics are when you export them as PDF they miss the necesary info on each section, therefore I cannot send that PDF reports to my stakeholders, therefore I have to take screenshots of these and still miss some of the info. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Keyhole: Hashtag tracking is not entirely retroactive so be mindful about wanting to retrieve past data. The trial will not allow you to see too much data to make an informed decision. I had to buy a month to decide in one day if I was buying a year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Keyhole solving and how is that benefiting you? I am able to easily track hashtags and provide faster reports to my stakeholders, these are complete, allow me to save time and and share the information in an easier manner for older stakeholders who might not understand. I also greatly appreciate the description of each metric and how you measure it.
