Overall Satisfaction with Mailchimp
I use Mailchimp to write newsletters to my audience. I have about 600 emails shared between 3 lists which I created prior to Mailchimp changing their terms and only granting one list with the free account. My business helps people who want to adopt healthy habits to feel energized in their mind-body and stop getting caught in the self-sabotaging habits of a chaotic mind.
- Linking with other applications integrations.
- Organizing audiences.
- Landing pages.
- When writing content, the interface isn't user-friendly for fonts and settings.
- I'd like to create more than one list with the free plan.
- Inserting first names in the text isn't being displayed in the test email. I've had several occasions where the </> the frame was present in the test email. But when the real email was sent, it read as "Dear " with no first name even though I had inserted it. That's been very frustrating.
- Allowed me to stay in contact with my audience.
- I've made landing pages for registration to events.
- I have notifications when someone subscribes to my email list and can interact with them.
- GetResponse and Kajabi
I've selected Mailchimp because of its flexibility of applications with the free plan and user-friendly platform. I have Kajabi but haven't used the CRM feature of it so I can't compare.
I agree with the all-in-one platform. My business has been able to get new leads to add to my email lists from my website opt-in and from my Calendly appointments. I've done landing pages for courses and events with Mailchimp which was convenient. Also, I've got some automation after people have opted in with emails dripping every 2 days with valuable content.
Creating different audiences for different purposes. Creating landing pages for my events and courses. I self-taught the usability and learned how to optimize the different functionality of the platform. I've created tags and segments of email lists so that I can target only the most active users and readers. I learned how to put text in my newsletters in the different columns since I write in both French and English.
