Overall Satisfaction with Mailchimp
We use Mailchimp to invite pasts guests to upcoming events. Instead of mass BCC emailing hundreds of people we use Mailchimp. It is the best service we have found but leaves a lot to hope for. Before Covid, we were using it at least twice per month for invitations. It's been very useful and satisfactory but hard to work with in terms of creating repeating events versus having to duplicate an event and send the invite again for the next event. It's not very intuitive even for someone who has spent the bulk of their working career using the internet. We continue to use it but wish it would get better.

- We continue to use it because it's the best of what there is.
We attempted to use Constant Contact but were even less happy with it than Mailchimp. It's been several years but back then it was even less intuitive than what we're using now. I believe it didn't have as good of a trial period for us to play with it and try it out. Maybe it didn't have a free version, I don't really remember.
To be totally honest we don't use Mailchimp for anything except inviting people to our events. It is such a pain to use we just prefer not to use it.
Our success is solely in the sense of using Mailchimp has helped us grow our list of attendees. We don't attribute much to Mailchimp except dread of having to create the next invite and make sure it goes out properly.
