Reviewers also find SMS useful for quickly disseminating information, such as event reminders, which can increase engagement and open rates.

Reviewers report using SMS marketing to drive sales, increase revenue, and convert leads into paying customers. One user called the results a "game-changer" after converting over 30 leads with a few SMS blasts.

This is the biggest feature I use. I am able to drive more sales as I can send text messages at the click of a button

We converted 30+ leads into paying members in the first few SMS blasts. We've NEVER sent a marketing SMS prior to that effort, so we were very thrilled to see those conversions coming in. It was a game-changer for us.

We've used the SMS integrations for both B2B and B2C marketing. We needed to use it on very short notice, and Intuit Mailchimp's system was able to verify our number very quickly. From that, we kept the texts super simple and it worked fine in the platform. Definitely a quality system.

Users find SMS to be a fast and effective way to communicate with their audience. It's used for disseminating event information, sending reminders for specials, and reaching stakeholders who may not use email, such as older members.

We admittedly could do a better job at deploying SMS. That said it has come in handy for quickly disseminating event info changes (such as time changes, etc.)

The SMS has really helped get the word out to our customers, reminding them of our monthly specials and special events.

SMS is great for last-minute event reminders and invitations, especially for our primarily college student demographic.
Verified user in Religious Institutions (1-10 employees)View Full review
Our SMS feature has made it easier to communicate with members who don't have a computer (many of our members are over 70). Notification of a dues deadline through SMS helped us reach one member last year who was over 90 years old.

Some reviewers raise challenges with Mailchimp. One user found SMS campaigns became too expensive and did not provide a return on investment. Others have faced challenges with integrating the SMS feature with other platforms or the inability to respond to texts from a mobile device.

It is the main source of income for Mailchimp. Successes have seen customers signing up during the day because they are bored. It is also easier to find when they decide to find it. Challenges have been responding to texts on the go because it is not available on mobile devices.

I used to use the SMS campaigns but they became too expensive and I did not see the ROI. I also did not have the capacity on my time to leverage them.
