Overall Satisfaction with Mailchimp

I use it for a marketing newsletter for my travel agent client. She advertises a variety of trips she is offering to her clients. I also use it personally for my business as a weekly newsletter and sales opportunity.
  • User friendly design
  • Automation is easy to implement
  • Provides an easy way to re-send to unopened users
  • It would be nice to have an eyedropper to match colors vs. the current color picker
  • Could have more attractive templates
  • My client has a very high open rate - over 50% and often books several high end tours ($6K+) off her emails alone.
  • My personal business yields about a 29% open rate, and I get multiple digital product sales from it
I feel like Mailchimp is more advanced than Constant Contact. I have used both, and if a client asks, I always steer them towards Mailchimp. The whole system is more user-friendly, and I get fewer errors when creating the email. I also think the templates are a little fresher. MailChimp is my choice!
I find it very easy to use, but someone who has never built an email campaign might get a little confused at first.
At this time, we really just use the email function. I haven't tried using it for social or other functions.
My client (travel agent) always gets really high open rates and often books at least one trip every time I send an email for her. I also know the subject line is crucial to better open rates.

Would you buy Mailchimp again?

Yes

Mailchimp has always been well-suited for my medium-sized clients. I have also been using it to market to my own prospective clients and like the ease of use. I suppose a large enterprise may need more tracking capabilities, and segmentation, but for small to medium businesses, it works quite well.
