Squarespace and Toast Payroll & Team Management

Mailchimp is a little more complex and offers features that these other platforms don't have, which makes it ideal for creating high-quality email content. I also very much appreciate how you're able to track your engagement analytics through the Mailchimp platform, allowing you to make strategic adjustments as to how to better target your audience and create consumer segments. It is great for designing content to appeal to your target market in creative ways through its different features and design tools.

Usability

Again, Mailchimp offers a variety of tools to help you craft a high quality email campaign. It's essentially an "all-in-one" in this sense. Because it focuses only on these email campaigns, it's able to offer features and properties that other platforms, like Squarespace, WordPress, or Toast do not, allowing you to develop better, more effective marketing email campaigns.

All-in-One Marketing Platform

This definitely streamlines the process and makes the creation and development of email marketing much more efficient and effective.

Lessons for Success

I've been able to make strategic decisions and changes based off of engagement analytics while also building my client's brand images while building a stronger foundation for their brand through Mailchimp's features.

It presents a user-friendly interface that's quite easy to use, allowing even novice campaign managers to utilize its features and pick up on it quickly.
