Best promo service around

Maximize Your Music’s Exposure with Promoly
Comments: I’ve found Promoly a valuable tool for organizing and sending professional looking data-driven music promotion campaigns. The written feedback I get off djs is helpful to further drive my promos forward.
Pros:
Promoly enables me to send personalized, professional promo emails to my lists of DJs, bloggers, media outlets, and other key influencers. It provides analytics on who opened the emails, listened to the tracks, downloaded, and shared them. This insight helps me gauge the effectiveness of my campaigns. The interface is super user-friendly and helps me to create a professional presentation for my promo material. I can also add branding elements, such as logos and personalized messages, to my promo campaigns, which enhances the professionalism of the promotion
Cons:
Although the interface is user-friendly, there’s still a learning curve involved in figuring out the best way to manage campaigns and analyze results effectively, especially for users new to email marketing.

Thanks for the great review, Don. We'll work on some extra guides and best practices for getting the most out of the campaigns.
An Okay Alternative to Label Engine (But, with time, will be just as good)
Comments: Overall, I had a very positive but often frustrating time with Promo.ly (both as a software and the team who run it). I think it offers a great alternative to Label Engine in terms of its cost and user interface, but it certainly has a long way to go before I would recognise it as a serious competitor to LE. The team I spoke to for support were incredibly helpful and very responsive. At the time of using Promo.ly, there were a number of problems I encountered which, with the help and speedy replies of the team, were either resolved soon after the initial conversations or were on the list of things to update. It seems the team behind Promo.ly are really passionate about their product and offer a much more personal touch than, say, Label Engine. As much as my feedback may be perceived as negative, I would certainly recommend it to a friend or colleague. I can see a lot of potential for it in the future.
Pros:
The cost was definitely something I liked. It's a good software with a good price point. Each update seemed to make the cost more impressive, but, alas, updates and few and far between. The software's interface, although often buggy, was easy to use and allowed for a somewhat visually appealing product.
Cons:
The software, for what the service is (a promotions software), is very buggy. When I joined Promo.ly, the internal clock of the software was wrong and often lead to my promo's being sent out at the wrong time. Uploading tracks to the software regularly resulted in the software crashing. More generally, I feel like the accessibility of the interface was overshadowed by the buggy software. Even at the relatively low price point that Promo.ly is offering, the problems I encountered at the time of using Promo.ly sometimes made it not worth it.
Best tool in the market for new labels
Comments: Perfect for where my business is at right now and I recommend it often
Pros:
The pricing structure is ideal for small labels or those starting out. All the features are available at the entry tier which sets this product apart from the competition and means I have loyalty to the product when my venture grows to needing a higher tier
Cons:
Sometimes buggy but the team are super responsive to resolving issues through live chat or email
About Promo.ly
Comments: With the help of promo.ly we distribute our music to DJs, magazines and producers.
Pros:
We used several similar services before Promo.ly and after we switched we realized how Promo.Ly is convenient and easy to use with many additional useful features
Cons:
I don't like it when the system reaches Bounce limits and in this case it doesn't allow you to send a promo
