FitBlitz has been on the market for awhile and has a pretty good track record. If you're a blogger, getting FitBlitz on AppSumo at the deal price for lifetime access is a great opportunity! It made email marketing with blogging super easy. It's like on autopilot. I recommend it to anyone looking for an easy way to email marketing with blogging.
Before this offer I don't think I had heard of FeedBlitz before. When established companies come to AppSumo, I pay attention, because they have proven themselves over time. Of course, like most Sumolings, I also wonder why they are on AppSumo when they are already established, but that question was answered in the Questions section on this page.
After checking out many of their pages (they have SO MUCH information on their website you could get lost reading for hours - a good thing!) I was curious to see if I was subscribed to any lists that were using FeedBlitz. And yes, there are a few lists I am on that use it (I guess I don't pay that much attention to the autoresponders people use, lol).
As for my rating, I was really torn on whether to give four or five stars.
I wish they had longer support hours. Customer support is only available during regular working hours (9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET), and as a homeschool mom who usually does email stuff after the family has retired for the evening, it would be really nice to have support available in the evenings (even if it was up to 7 or 8 p.m.). There is a lot of documentation on their website, as well as videos, so it's possible that for the most part I may be able to figure stuff out on my own. I'd just like to have the assurance that there is someone available in case I got in over my head.
On the other hand, I called the support phone number one day, and was very surprised and pleased to have the Founder and CEO take my call. I'm not sure if this is a regular thing that he does, but being able to talk with Phil was a delight, and I was able to talk with him about a particular question and issue that I had. I believe they will be working on a solution, and I am looking forward to that. In the meantime, he was able to give me a short-term workaround.
I've also checked out their pricing structure, and although I love LTDs like every other Sumoling, I was pleased to notice that if/when I ever need to jump to a subscription, their rates are comparable to other autoresponders.
I don't blog regularly, but I do want to change that, so the blog update feature will be very useful for that, I'm sure. I may also be starting a podcast soon, so I will be checking into the features that FB has for this as well.
In general, I am pleased with this deal, and I plan to upgrade the tier I have before the deal ends.

hi @Suzanne:
Thank you for your review! It was fun chatting with you. Normally I don't cover support unless we're short-staffed, but doing so when we need the extra hands certainly keeps it real for me. We are adding support staff too :)
I do think at some point we'll extend our live support hours; the majority of our business is still US eastern and central at the moment. At some point, we...
This has been one of the most valuable platform investments I have made through appsumo, and trust me, I have made a lot of them per my profile! So I hope that alone has caught your attention that this ranks in the Top 5 offering for me.
I run a blog site and we average 4-5 updates per week. Feedblitz provides a great solution for me to manage an email subscription list and customized/configurable daily update that pulls from my latest blog entries.
The end result is that if I have any posts within a 24 hour period (usually there are 15-25 posts), then Feedblitz is configured to auto-send an email blast with a summary of all my blog entries. The special sauce is that this news digest is categorized and formatted so the news items appear under set categories that mirror my blog site. For the reader, this is perfect as they can quickly scan the daily posts based on the news categories they are interested in. And note, if no news postings happen, feedblitz is smart enough not to send an "empty" news digest email. So the email only goes out if news items have been posted on my blog.
The end result is in quick order, I have 2500 subscribers with no drop-offs/unsubscribes because they love receiving a daily news digest. It's a great way to promote my blog as well and is a key marketing tool which allows me to configure and sell banner space as well.
If you are running a blog, please consider this platform. Phil and his crew have been great and have helped me configure my automated email news summary as explained above and it's fantastic. Well worth the investment I have put into this, and unlike 75% of my appsumo buys, this is being used now on a daily basis and I don't have to lift a finger. It's fully automated!
I sent my first newsletter with FeedBlitz this week and it went off without a hitch. I'm not super techie, so simpler, idiot-proof is better for me and this was easy enough.
The customer service emailed me twice to check in before my first log-in to the platform and then after to see if I needed anything. I liked that. It feels more personal than MailChimp.

An already proven & established tool that's a no-brainer deal!
Feedblitz is a no brainer if you're wanting to make sure your emails are making into your subscribers inbox and not their spam box.
