Mailchimp streamlines business operations by connecting over 11M companies worldwide with customers, allowing sales, creating and launching effective marketing campaigns in a single platform.
I love the user friendly interface and the ease of use. It allows me to see any updates regarding clients and allow my coworkers to stay up to date on tasks and important information.
That's about it - ps lots of emails in the history have been lost over time. I just stick with it because all my data is there now.
Big Contacts is very user friendly compared with my experience with Salesforce. We appreciate the value, reliability and the flexible fields that customize the program to meet our needs.
Next, the program had a problem and stopped showing all of my contacts. It would only show the first 25.
I like the comprehensive "dash board" look and feel of Big Contacts. The web based product is far superior to ACT! in ease of use, and ease of access by pc, blackberry, or a client's computer.
I had an issue once where I had to retype the email three times. I had tried to send the email but your site was having trouble emailing.
Ease of use, functional, ease of access from remote locations, ability to customize. Overall great product for a very fair fee.
Having trouble figuring out how to embed videos into emails.
It has a pretty straightforward pricing plan with an awesome customer service solution. I can find this tool super helpful.
You are restricted to specific designs and formats only, which can be a little frustrating when your business doesn't match those categories.
I love the visual elements of mailchimp. It’s easy to navigate and simple and the training and help facilities are excellent if you’re not sure.
I don't like the merge tags functionality. Almost always it ends up not working and it looks awkward and embarrasses in front of your customers.
I love this platform for most cases and businesses. Easy to use and great features to improve results.
They have a really strange billing system that is designed in such a way that it sucks money out of you.
We are having an amazing experience with it and will suggest you as well, because they offer excellent paid plans with depend on your subscribers.
But there is a problem, when I wanted to link any picture or a sentence with a new window that is available online, I couldn't get where to I do.
Duncan: My name's Duncan. I'm the community editor with Pullman's Weekly News and Advertiser series. Our company's a news company with an employment size of 14, and I would give MailChimp a user rating of five out of five. Our company uses MailChimp on a day-to-day basis to reach more readers and an audience digitally. Obviously, the newspaper business as a print business has declined significantly in the past years. It's essential for us to communicate to our readers through digital means, and as such, MailChimp proves an excellent provider. The reasons I personally like MailChimp is it's very easy to use. You can have a drag and drop system for placing the templates in emails. You can select photographs to go with news stories very, very quickly. There's no need to download any complicated software. The platform of MailChimp contains all of the necessary infrastructure. I simply upload the database of our readers, and these readers receive the email through MailChimp servers. Some of the cons of MailChimp are its cost. Obviously, the more users you have, the larger the subscriber list, the larger the cost incrementally. It would also be nice to be able to send videos of a longer duration through MailChimp. I'm sure that would be achieved at some point, but that's one of the requests I would make.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
