Overall Satisfaction with Mailchimp
We use Mailchimp as a way to generate leads through custom forms embedded on websites. Easy to customize and easy to implement, Mailchimp is usually our top choice when suggesting a company's first lead generation form. Clients looking to build a mailing list or to target visitors interested in products or services can use Mailchimp to build a free list of potential clients.
- Easy form building gets you up and running quickly.
- Segmentation of contacts allows for grouping of contacts for email blasts.
- Drag 'n drop email builders can create industry standard emails that look great.
- Embed codes for websites which can be easily copy and pasted onto websites for instant usage.
- Pricing structure could be adjusted. The jump from Free to Essentials may be overkill for some clients who don't need the extra send capacity, but want access to A/B testing, etc.
- Other lead generator / email capture software allow for better HTML / customization of emails campaigns.
- Mailchimp requires very little investment before it begins to work and help you build your client list. Developers can implement the forms quickly.
Mailchimp usually wins because it has a very nice free option to begin exploring the world of contact gathering / lead generation. While it doesn't have all the tools available to you via Hubspot, Keap, or Constant Contact, Mailchimp still provides a good launching point to begin your journey from. One great feature is how easy it is to export contacts from Mailchimp and into one of the more complex offerings when the time arises.
Honestly, we have never found Mailchimp to have an 'all-in-one-marketing platform'.
Successes aren't something we tracked as we mainly dealt with implementation.
