Overall Satisfaction with Mailchimp
Looking to quickly get our email marketing off the ground. Our audience is relatively small and email templates are a pretty straight forward layout. Mailchimp was able to get our templates built/qa'd/launched/reported on relatively smooth. The interface is very straight forward. Functionality wise we didn't need a whole lot of bells and whistles from our EMS but Mailchimp had some advanced functionality up it's sleeve that actually made our job easier. Our team enjoyed the simplicity of Mailchimp and we will continue to use moving forward.

Used a few other platforms that perform the same tasks as Mailchimp. These platforms, while are much more robust than Mailchimp, have a much steeper learning curve. Yesmail and Adobe Campaign have alot more to offer that would work great for teams that need more automation and deeper reporting on automated emails. I recommend Mailchimp for teams that are in the "crawl" or "walk" engagement vs using others for the "Run" phases.
Mailchimp has a slew of integrations that we took advantage of. From Creative and Data management to Reporting, Mailchimp made it easy for multiple teams to collaborate and not be so silo'd! Design we integrated Canva to create our beautiful graphics and layout. LinkedIn and Facebook allowed us to gain quick turnaround with Social leads and Lead Generations with signup forms. Both very helpful and intuitive and easy to implement.
We've been able send more emails and have more actual email sends. With that, our list constantly changes and it's easy to update the recipient lists to get ensure we're sending the most up to date subscribers. It is VERY important to send out marketing emails to those who are currently subscribed. We've been hit with a few "SPAM" alerts due lists being stale. We've learned to scrub our lists to contain the most up to date subscribers otherwise our reputation score will take a hit and we could be sending straight to users Junk folder. This was a VERY important lesson learned from Mailchimp. Thank you
