Overall Satisfaction with Mailchimp

We use mailchimp in a few ways.

(1) Customer Newsletter
(2) Email outreach with specific updates/promotions to current customers
(3) User outreach around new updates in our software

It allows us to easily compile audiences and various lists and send branded messages which is a business problem that needed to be addressed when we made the purchasing decision. Currently, Mailchimp is only used by our Customer Success Department.
  • Compiling and organizing contacts into audiences.
  • Ability to quickly generate branded messages.

  • Branding options to include more custom fonts.
  • The ability to get past spam blockers could be improved.
  • An easier way to send attachments through emails.
