Overall Satisfaction with Mailchimp
Mailchimp is used to send newsletters for our marketing department and sales funnels for our sales department. We use automated emails to create an onboarding process for our customers. We use segmentation to send certain emails to specific groups of people, from purchasers to non-purchasers, to US customers versus international customers.
- Intuitive user interface
- Easy to use design system
- Analytics aren't good at all, I want to see more data on segmentation, tags, etc.
- Automated emails don't have options for how people may or may not respond.
- We are able to nurture our leads to generate a sale.
- We are able to retarget purchasers to purchase more.
- Autopilot and Outreach
Mailchimp is a good overall newsletter platform, and we chose it because we started off small. These other products are built for more developed stages of business. Also, we love how Mailchimp can make the newsletters look beautiful--something that these other programs don't have. As we scale though, we might switch over.
Honestly, the other tools aren't as good as the newsletter tool. We tried them, but we've been relatively unhappy with the experience, so we have stuck with just the newsletter tool. As a result, we have not benefited much from it being an all-in-one platform. Maybe things will get better over time?
I like how Mailchimp's prices scale as you grow. We've learned that email is still one of the primary ways we generate the sale and the leads that we capture on Mailchimp have one of the highest conversion rates. We have successfully grown our email list about 27x what it was at the start of our business.
