  • It helps us to prioritise our data protection responsibilities and keep our subscriber lists in order
  • The segmentation features allow us to hyper-target specific customer groups and personalise content with great results shown in reports
The interface and overall setup is very easy to use and get familiar with. The training materials available make it a breeze to learn more about the platform and features if you get stuck.

We have integrated mailchimp with multiple Woocommerce and Wordpress platforms. Creating this integration allows us to seamlessly transfer audience subscriber data into Mailchimp so that there is never any need for generating exports and uploading the lists. This is massively important to us in order to meet our data protection responsibilities, yet it also allows us to automate a number of emails to customers that have purchased our products via the websites.
Keeping an organised setup is important but a key factor is ensuring there is good quality content ready to go to be plugged into Mailchimp to really get this most out of this platform. Work with a designer to create multiple templates will help save lots of time in the long run and ensures that the look and feel of the emails remains fresh and engaging for the recipients.

Mailchimp is a great platform for any company that doesn't yet have a CRM or email marketing platform in place. If using an e-commerce platform like Woocommerce it is a great addition to build out the tech stack and add extra features such as the automatic newsletter signup at checkout, automated cart abandonment emails and discount emails for new signups.
