Overall Satisfaction with Intuit Mailchimp

We primarily use it to create emails and automate email campaigns. However, we have also recently started using it for text notifications, and it works well. Intuit Mailchimp is beneficial for triggered email sequences when you need variables that depend on users' behavior, sales, dates, and other multiple factors.

Pros

  • Automation
  • Email generation.
  • Segmentation

Cons

  • It got more complicated and confusing.
  • Limited email customization.
  • Hidden costs behind already high prices.
  • It helped to increase open rate.
  • Segmentation worked well and we decreased drop offs.
  • Automated sales campaigns has better revenue.
I find the 360" CRM functions of Mailchimp very convenient since I can segment the audience and check all channels and mediums in one place, which helps me to understand the results better and improve campaigns faster. I spend less time on tests and try more ideas. Also, dynamic content and AI functions make my job easier.
  • Behavioral targeting
  • Segmentation
  • Marketing CRM
  • Dynamic content
  • Headline tester
  • Email marketing
  • Customer journeys (automated workflows)
  • A/B testing
  • Surveys
I think that pre-built templates have limited customization, and it can be frustrating at times. However, other functions work well and don't cause a problem if you learn how to work with the platform. All the functions I've mentioned are really helping during the campaigns, enabling me to increase ROI and optimize budgets.
I use Mailchimp AI frequently when I need to generate transactional emails, such as "Thank you for registering...", "We added you to a waitlist...", etc. English is my second language, and it's very handy to have an editor and copywriter directly on the platform, as I work with texts all the time. It helps to save time.
Intuit Mailchimp is designed to grow, but the prices for high tiers are a bit high. I'm not sure if my company will continue using Mailchimp as it grows. However, it may be a particular challenge for nonprofit organizations, which often have limited budgets.
The interface is a bit complicated, and I need to spend some time to learn new functions and understanding how it works. I don't like working with email templates because of the limited customization options. However, functions like AI for generating emails, segmentation, and analytics still work well and are very useful.
Intuit Mailchimp gives a 360" CRM experience and gives the possibility to manage social media, texts, pushes, emails, and other interactions in one place. It is really handy and offers numerous possibilities for creating complex marketing campaigns within a single platform. Additionally, it is easy to test and improve campaigns, which accelerates the process and enhances the results. Other platforms might be great, but they are not as competitive when it comes to complex campaigns.

I loved Mailchimp 10 years ago, and as a long-time user, I appreciate working with the brand I've been attached to for so many years. It still works well with regular email campaigns and with automation. However, if your email audience is constantly growing and you have a limited budget, it may be wise to explore the more affordable options.
