Overall Satisfaction with Mailchimp
Our organization is a bulk food store that is fully non-profit. We used Mailchimp to send out weekly sales and information about upcoming events, products, etc. It was being used across our whole organization and was a nice way for us to keep all of our contacts, correspondence and notes together in one single place.
- Audience management.
- Customizable sign-up forms.
- Campaign tracking.
- Learning curve for building templates.
- Being charged for tiers of audience members (even if they're duplicates).
- Branding shows (in lowest tier).
- More Facebook Likes.
- More website visits.
- More purchases (using coupons sent via email, etc).
- Growing contact list (from users sharing email with friends, etc).
Mailchamp is accepted by Google, and their email templates transfer correctly to email users, whereas Robly does not as easily which was a big factor that set it apart from Robly in our opinion. I felt that Robly's template editor was a little bit easier to navigate, and the pricing was a little bit lower with Robly, but for bigger operations, the investment is worth it to spend a little bit extra to get the features and compatibility that Mailchimp offers.
I love being able to manage all marketing activities within one platform. When you have multiple users having to access multiple different aspects of marketing, it is nice to keep everything together in one spot for everyone to access. I feel that the tools that are offered through Mailchimp make the cost for the program more worthwhile (rather than paying for the tools separately, buying one single platform to handle them all is so much easier).
One tip I would share is to not export templates into code until you have made your final edits because reimporting them limits you being able to edit with their block editor.
Also, take good notes for each contact; as your database grows, it is easy for contacts to become "numbers" rather than people who feel valued and appreciated as customers.
