Smore

What do you like best?

Smore is a super easy way to share news and events that are happening within your organization. We love how easy it is to change the background images, colors and font of the newsletters. An added bonus is the variety of content that you can add to your digital newsletters. Smore allows the user to not only add text and pictures but you can even add video content, attach files and embed forms as well as audio and calendar options. It's alo very easy to share your newsletter to social media or copy a link to send out via email.

What do you dislike?

I tried my best and just couldn't find anything that I did not like about smore. It's easy to use and most people can be expert users in a matter of minutes. The product also gives you the ability to view analytics which tell you how many views you have had. They also have a great support area built into the site and you really can't beat the annual pricing.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

If you are looking for an easy way to share information via social media, email or a digital link you will not be disappointed. Smore is one of the easiest solutions I have found to implement. I spend very little time training a user how to implement the product. The newsletters are always of very high quality and the included graphics are great. If you are purchasing this for an educational environment make sure you purchase the education version so you can get the clip art with education themes. You can also try the product out for free.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

I work as a Chief Technology Officer for a small school district and we actively use Smore as a community engagement tool. We send out school and department newsletters and our superintendent even uses Smore to send newsletters out to our faculty to keep them better informed.
