Overall Satisfaction with Mailchimp
Mailchimp was first utilised by our marketing dept. We quickly realised how dynamic it was and implemented it company wide. The data we can share with others and the data we are able to receive is hands down the best. We love having the templates that we are able to utilise in times where we are in a hurry or creatively empty.
- Templates. They are current, fresh, visibly pleasing and easy.
- The data that you receive is accurate and you are able to create your own custom reporting.
- Accuracy. The bounce back rate is VERY low. Your database is easy to maintain.
- Maybe the customer care followup could be better.
- Pricing structure.
- Adding flash to templates.
- Google Analytics: Users can track campaign success rates through full integration with Google Analytics. As mentioned in the “Reporting” section (above), Analytics 360 gives users access to high-level statistics on their newsletter’s revenue generation. It is also possible to apply Google Analytics tracking to archived campaigns.
- Eventbrite: The Eventbrite add-ons allow users to enhance their event management capabilities using Mailchimp’s built-in tools. Users can target event invitations to subscribers in select geographic locations or personalize event invitations and follow-ups.
- Social Sharing: Available with all plans, this feature allows you to automatically post newsletter updates to Facebook and Twitter as well as tracking stats and creating a social sign-up page to generate new subscribers.
Mailchimp is a mature, time-tested, and easy-to-pick-up ESP. The company offers a great selection of features at a reasonable price, and its security and privacy policies are at the top end of the industry. The basics of the software are easy to use, and recent changes to the knowledge base have made advanced features more accessible to a broader range of users. The free plan is very generous for users with modest campaign needs. Mailchimp’s recent upgrades have largely focused on segmentation and automation features, adding an incredible amount of depth to what was already a very strong program.
Mailchimp has allowed me to not only grow both my business' engaged clientele base, but also fans of my music and label! It's also allowed me to provide campaigns and reporting for my clients that are easy to understand and digest. With just social, it can be hard to cut through the saturation, but with email marketing, you're going directly to your Interested audience and able to create an incentive for them to not only continue to engage but to share with others. It's been truly amazing.
My overall experience has been very pleasant. Many elements of this tool are intuitive, and you can self-teach many features of this communications tool given the help guides available. Bravo. The campaigns are easy to create and are polished and professional looking. This has allowed our organization to raise its profile and effectiveness of our main tenant ~ to bring information to, and collect information from our constituents, our school district families, and to bridge this parent base and our school district administration. Good communication and transparency between parents and administrators are of utmost importance. Mailchimp has allowed us to do this most effectively.
