With the introduction of Mailchimp into our business, running email and promotional campaigns has become a piece of cake. I am easily able to engage better with my customer before any important product launch or product-related upgrades. The reports and analytics are very detailed and insightful making me understand my customer better.

Mailchimp suited us well in the area of installing and customizing the widget used on our website for gathering emails from people willing to signup for our newsletter. The submitted addresses are automatically flowing to the database where they are stored. Managing them could have been easier but it is decent enough. We were lacking the possibility to send out newsletter in the free plan.

Mailchimp makes it easy for us to email marketing campaigns to multiple clients from one platform. We can easily set up campaigns with different messages for each client. I use Mailchimp to capture leads across platforms and segment website users. We've integrated other tools seamless with a variety of options. It would be nice to resend one I made to a new person and keep it under the original. Although I enjoy MailChimp's user-friendliness and attractive templates, it also offers robust reporting and tracking features.

Mailchimp is well suited for a scenario in which you are seeking to send out newsletters that can be easily constructed to multiple users within your organization. Using the simple user interface, you can easily send out newsletters on your desired cadence. Mailchimp is less suitable should you desire to collaborate with co-workers on the newsletter.

When you want to connect with your users and customers, Mailchimp is quite useful. We are able to send non-stop email campaigns to all our users. The best part is the email deliverability of Mailchimp. We are able to reach all our customers in their Inbox itself rather than their spam folder. Also, the analytics aspect is very cool.

Mailchimp handles the organization of customer contacts and their segmentation well. It's relatively easy for novice users to create and send bulk emails without much technical knowledge. There are many options available to design and build templates and emails. Mailchimp has helped us refine and improve our email marketing campaigns for customers and employees.

Creating email templates to reuse can be a daunting task, especially if you are not a developer or have strong front end experience. Mailchimp allowed us to get our templates up and running pretty quickly and we were able to preview how they rendered easily as well.

Additionally, we have a small audience list but it changes pretty quickly, so we want to make sure we are sending to actual subscribed recipients to maintain a positive reputation score. Mailchimp allows us to stay on top of our recipient list quite easily.

Highly recommend this tool, especially if you don't have a large team and you are just getting started with Email Marketing.

Mailchimp will probably always be my go-to for those who are just starting their list or online business, as it is easy to use for basic functions.

However, I don't think it's a great option for anyone with a sizable list who needs advanced email marketing capabilities. Even with their most recent changes, the interface is hard to look at for any extended period of time and is cheesy. To be honest, it may be my prejudice from working with other email platforms and the difference in user interface. For someone who starts and grows with Mailchimp, it could very well handle more complex functions considering the newer features such as "Journey" automations. But it still doesn't feel very intuitive where other platforms are.

Mailchimp is great for acquiring and storing email addresses. Some of the features are difficult to use. For example, I would like to create different welcome emails originating from different links. I was not able to do this in a streamlined way. I ended up making a landing page, and then it was hard to get back to it on the Mailchimp site to edit it later.

The best part is that it's completely free for up to 10,000 emails each month. There are several templates that we may customize, and it just needs a basic understanding of HTML and CSS. Sending out daily or weekly newsletters for new products or events is an excellent use of the Mailchimp service. E-commerce systems like Shopify can benefit greatly from the use of this technology for email marketing. Small enterprises will benefit greatly from this.

Outreach marketing is not ideal if you are looking to use Mailchimp in my opinion. Mailchimp is more suited for inbound marketing like newsletters, product releases, or event publications. Therefore, it’s best to have a good mailing list before getting into Mailchimp. Otherwise, don’t expect to reach new customers and create possible lead opportunities.

We started a new client on Mailchimp who had about 500 emails from their Shopify store. The list would not automatically sync so we exported the list. After sending the first email campaign the list was archived because 12 subscribers reported the email (all but one from Yahoo email). We could not use the solution and moved them to another solution. We have started recommending other solutions and found the support for partners to be disappointing.

Mailchimp is well suited for sending out quick & simple emails if you don't have a specific design in mind. The templates are great to use and easy to fill in your necessary information. It's also well-suited for sending out different email campaigns based on the audience since you can easily divide your audience by tags and send campaigns to different tags. Mailchimp is less appropriate if you want an extremely customizable experience. It can be tough to use design-wise, and I find it a little difficult to make large edits to your audience. You have to go into your audience members one by one, so if there are any big changes, it can take a while.

For small businesses, it's ideal for newsletters and other campaigns. Free and easy to use. I often recommend it to my clients and to other freelancers. I just wrote a post about my favorite free and low-cost tools and included Mailchimp on that list. I'd rate it a 9 out of 10.

For bigger businesses or those with bigger lists, it might be more expensive. If you have more than 2,000 people on your list, you might want to evaluate other solutions.

The best thing is that it is free for up to 10 thousand emails in a month. It provides a number of templates that we can edit, it just requires little knowledge of HTML and CSS. If we have to provide a newsletter for new offers or any event every day or week then Mailchimp is a good option. It is one of the best tools available for email marketing for niche-based e-commerce applications like Shopify. This is very helpful in promoting small businesses.

Mailchimp is a great solution if email marketing is a necessity for your business. If you are sending frequent, weekly (at least) newsletters, then Mailchimp is both a reliable and cost-effective tool. If you are like us, however, sending infrequent emails, the monthly pricing structure is prohibitively expensive and not ideal for our use case.
