Delivering a personalized customer experience across multiple channels, such as email, SMS text, postcards and landing pages, throughout your customer lifecycle plays a pivotal role in capturing leads and selling your products and services. | You want to run a referral program for your business that allows referrers to log in to check their progress and automatically get paid for their work. | |
Getting your emails delivered to your contacts’ inboxes reliably is a critical part of your marketing and sales campaigns. | The ability to view all your company’s data in one place without the need for spreadsheets or manual calculations is important to you. | |
You don't like stretching your budget to pay for software that doesn’t meet all of your needs, or being locked in to annual contracts. | Your customers would benefit from adding a membership component that serves as a learning platform. |

While both Ontraport and HubSpot feature visual campaign builders as their centerpieces, Ontraport’s marketing tracking and campaign performance reporting features give you concrete evidence of what’s working and what’s not in your campaigns.

Ontraport Advantages
Industry-Leading Email Deliverability
At Ontraport, email deliverability isn’t an afterthought — it’s a core part of our service. With over a decade of experience as a high-volume mailer and a dedicated team of postmasters standing by, you can finally stop wondering if you’re getting the best possible delivery rates. With enterprise-grade mailing infrastructure, Ontraport can offer private IP pools to qualified mailers as well as personalized delivery testing and advice on best practices. Of course, if you prefer, Ontraport can send your mail through the SMTP service of your choice.
Facebook Custom Audience Integration
If you use Facebook ads to drive traffic, this feature is a game-changer. Assign leads to specific Custom Audiences right in your Ontraport campaigns to create hyper-targeted advertising that speaks directly to each lead or customer, at exactly the right time, specifically about what they’re interested in.
Full Ecommerce Suite
Integrating with a third-party app to sell your goods and services is neither easy nor cheap. Ontraport is as much an ecommerce solution as it is a marketing toolkit. Quickly build customizable order forms that sync with your contact database; easily manage your shopping carts and payment gateways for a seamless purchase process; offer flexible payment options to reduce friction, and safely automate payment processes such as credit card declines with ease.
Custom Objects
Many business owners need to store records beyond merely contacts. Ontraport is the only small business marketing platform that offers the ability to create completely custom record types, to create relationships between record types, and to design completely automated systems around those custom records. Custom Objects in Ontraport offers the flexibility to create custom records for things like events, children, classes, users, administrators and just about anything else you can think of.

Jeff M, Brave Girls Club
“With Ontraport, I don't think I will ever have a need for any other tracking software. It is all there in an easy-to-digest layout and all the different tracking reports. It has enabled us to see exactly where we were doing well and where we need some work. Having this all-in-one system automatically track and intuitively report every step that is taken through our campaigns in real time without any additional setup has been a game-changer for us.”
