Website is awesome. It reallly gives you an instant professional look with professional capabilities all of the banks have. The marketing staff that helps you market yourself on other platforms is second to none. It's like having your own free marketing consultant. Ours has optimized our facebook and linked in pages and is awesome. But the problem is that we got the 220 website specifically as a way to stay in touch with our realtors and past clients through email drip campaigns. We were so excited to be able to do drip campaigns off of it and automatically send the stay in touch newsletter. Then, after paying, we were heartbroken to learn that everyone had to opt in to get our emails. Unlike Mail Chimp, which sends the email with an opt out at the bottom, our folks would have to opt in. Only 17 out of 169 did, making the email function useless. We had envisioned building drip campaigns for every stage of the loan process, including our new leads. Forget it. Impossible to get them to opt in. We are now back to mail chimp. It's maddening. I write this review not to be mean, but in hopes that they will change the opt-in policy to an opt out policy. Until then, count your 220 website useless for email drip campaigns. Also, of the few who did opt in, the 220 monthly email seems to go into their junk mail, so they don't see it anyway. GRRRRR! Update: After reading this review, 220 moved all our contacts over from 220 to mailchimp for free. (There is normally a fee for that.) We have an appointment scheduled with our marketing consultant to learn how to send the 220 monthly email using mailchimp. Wish we could send it directly through the site, but the workaround isn't bad.
