Campaign Monitor's End Points
Campaign Monitor Email Templates
Campaign Monitor's library of professionally-designed email templates is one of the platform's most popular features. The platform includes approximately 50 templates, which might not be as many as competing solutions, but the quality of the templates tends to be more aesthetically pleasing and professional in appearance than those offered by Aweber, Mailchimp, and other platforms. The email templates are also responsive and adjust seamlessly to whatever size display you're viewing them on.
Campaign Monitor Data Import Compatibilities
Campaign Monitor offers compatibility to easily import information from all of the most common database formats such as XLS, XLSX, TXT, CSV, vCard, ZIP, RAR, and 7X. Simply copy-paste the file contents into Campaign Monitor, and Campaign Monitor separates the data into the appropriate fields, which you can remap or rename as appropriate.
Campaign Monitor Data Segmentation
Unlike most email marketing platforms, Campaign Monitor allows you to send emails to more than one marketing list or segment at once. The solution also lets you exclude specific lists or segments from certain email campaigns.
Campaign Monitor Subscriber Journeys
Campaign Monitor includes tools to send email 'subscriber journeys' or 'autoresponders' that start sending a series of timed emails as soon as someone joins your email list.
Campaign Monitor Email Marketing Automation
In addition to basic email autoresponder tools, Campaign Monitor allows you to program specific marketing triggers that automate the sending of different types of emails based on user actions. For example, you can program emails to go out based on the links a website visitor clicks, the products a customer purchases, or the webpages a user visits. Campaign Monitor includes an easy-to-use programming interface with yes-no conditions to plan the exact circumstances that trigger emails to send to subscribers.
Campaign Monitor Analytics and Statistics
Campaign Monitor offers high-level statistics on clickthroughs, unsubscribes, and email open rates. It also lets you zoom in on specific user information to determine whether individual subscribers opened or ignored emails, or clicked certain links. It even tells you where and when they did these actions. Lastly, with Campaign Monitor, it's easy to export analytics reports in PDF format to share with clients or team members.

Buffer Social Media Analytics
Buffer tracks data pertaining to all of your team's social media interactions — then uses this information to create performance reports that will help you improve customer engagement, grow your audience, and boost sales. With data on all of your social media platforms visible from a single, interactive analytics dashboard, everyone on your team has access to the information, metrics, and insights they need. Drill into statistics on individual posts and zoom out for general information. You can also customize reports to show specific team members exactly what they need to see.
