### "MailChimp Helps You Through The Jungle of Email Marketing "

August 18, 2022

4.0

I have enjoyed sharing MailChimp with numerous clients. I have had less difficulty with MailChimp than with any other email campaign software.

Pros

MailChimp has a really great free line. You can get up and be effective before you really pay for anything. Plus it also allows you to do scheduled social media blasts.

Cons

I'm not wild about the name MailChimp. It looks a little funny on the emails.

### "Business Success with Mailchimp"

August 11, 2022

5.0

I would say Mailchimp is a Superb Marketing software and they do have room for improvement.

Pros

The ability to keep track of the changes in your audience in general is big plus for me. All of the features, namely, emails, website, landing pages, forms etc are all very easy to use and they guide you along great, if you're still not sure what you're doing.

Cons

When preparing forms, it was a bit difficult to edit elements. In addition, some of the elements for the form building was a bit hidden and it took me a while to figure out where they were, so they can be changed or moved.

### "My Go-to for email marketing"

January 24, 2020

5.0

Mailchimp has been my go-to for 5+ years and I see no reason to change that now. It's simple, easy-to-use, and affordable. I also care about who I work with. From what I can see as an outsider looking in, they have a great company culture. I once found a mistake in their API documentation and they sent me a free t-shirt! Most companies aren't willing to spend money just to say thanks, and I think that says something about the culture and character of the company.

Pros

Easy to setup: I've used Mailchimp in the launch of dozens of brands and digital products. Mailchimp is so easy to setup; I can literally have an account up and running, collecting email addresses within 20 minutes. Great free option: One of my favorite things about Mailchimp is the fact that you get up to 2,000 contacts for free. Having that as an option (particularly for new businesses) is absolutely critical in making sure you can measure ROI from the platform before you start investing a lot of money. Easy to use: Mailchimp's forms, email templates, list management, etc. is all so simple. In the rare case you can't do something you want via the Mailchimp admin, it can probably be done via the API. Mailchimp has also done an exceptional job of integrating with 3rd party platforms to make sure you can easily maximize your email collection. More than just email marketing: In the last few years Mailchimp has started offering additional features outside of email campaigns, like Facebook ads and card mailing services. I personally don't think they're as good as Mailchimp's email service, but I am sure they'll improve over time.

Cons

In the last couple of years Mailchimp has made some changes to their pricing structure that I don't particularly love: 1) Pay as you go features have become more limited compared to their monthly plans. 2) Monthly rates have increased (although that's bound to happen at some point). 3) They now include some social platform contacts in your allotted contacts (i.e. you pay for them like they're email contacts). As well, Mailchimp automatically increases your bill when you cross over your plan subscriber threshold. I'm not a huge fan of that, but I suppose I prefer it to them just disabling collection of new contacts.

Reason for choosing Mailchimp

### "We use this platform for a long time, the only thing is that it is not cheap"

October 18, 2021

4.0

In general, the tool is considered by many as the best and most recognized tool for email marketing. Its main features like Customer Journey Builder + Branch Points make it stand out from the rest. Within what I would highlight would be the advanced segmentation, the multivariate tests and the flexible and easy to use comparative reports. The only thing we did not like very much is that the price is a bit expensive.

Pros

What should first be highlighted about this tool is its extremely easy interface to create emails and all the tasks related to this, its high open rate also stands out. Another advantage is its marketing tools

Cons

I could say that it is almost perfect, but it has a big but, only problem. Its very high price

### "User of Mailchimp"

November 19, 2022

5.0

My experience has been excellent. I like the functionality and the way my emails look, and the help desk was able to answer some of my questions fairly quickly. When I want to produce leads, in particular, I adore using MailChimp for email marketing. It's hard to beat their landing page. Unable to send emails to other people when you enter the wrong email address, which is also very confusing and difficult to figure out where to click.

### "Mailchimp is a great tool for managing email marketing and anyone can use it."

April 6, 2023

5.0

Mailchimp has helped keep me connected with clients and potential clients through email. It is an easy tool to learn, anyone can use it.

Pros

This is a very easy product to use. Mailchimp has greatly helped my clients' businesses and is a great marketing tool, especially with online magazines and blogs that we manage. I highly recommend it. I had never done any kind of email marketing, and using Mailchimp was a piece of cake; very easy to pick up and learn fast.

Cons

I don't like that I can't change or resize images. I have to do that using another program and waste more time.

August 12, 2022

4.0

I have never had any issues with Mailchimp, their customer support has always been very fast to respond and everything just works.

Pros

Mailchimp is very easy to use with an extremely small learning curve, deployment across teams is fast and simple. In fact all the features of Mailchimp are simple to use. I also love the fact that they have a mobile app allowing me to manage things on the road.

Cons

There is nothing I don't like about Mailchimp as it fits my user case perfectly. However for extremely heavy users with large teams Mailchimp might possibly be lacking more advanced features.

Cons

Paid version unlocked all our doors, as it provides all the analytics and trackings. This tool helped us converting many clients from emails.

Cons

### "Great for Email Marketing and Campaign Analytics, not so great for List Management"

April 13, 2023

5.0

Overall, my experience with Mailchimp has been positive. The detailed analytics have also been helpful in refining my email marketing strategies. However, the pricing can be a downside for businesses with larger lists, and the limitations on the free plan may not be enough for some.

Pros

User-friendly interface: Mailchimp has a clean and intuitive interface that is easy to navigate, even for those without much technical expertise.Customizable templates: Mailchimp offers a range of pre-built templates that can be customized to fit a business's specific needs and branding.Good analytics: Mailchimp provides detailed analytics on email campaigns, including open and click-through rates.Integrations: Mailchimp integrates with many other tools and platforms, including e-commerce platforms, CRMs, and social media.

Cons

Pricing: Mailchimp can become expensive for businesses with larger lists, as pricing is based on the number of subscribers.Limited features on the free plan: While Mailchimp does offer a free plan, it is somewhat limited in terms of features and functionality.Integrations: I really wish Mailchimp would be able to integrate seamlessly with Google Sheets to sync the campaign report data. Such as syncing the contacts who opened/clicked on a specific email campaign into Google Sheets to be able to share that data with a sales team.

### "I miss the old (affordable) Mailchimp."

September 17, 2021

4.0

While I originally chose Mailchimp for the quality, I ended up leaving for MailerLite and feel I'm getting a much better value and ROI with MailerLite.

Pros

I used Mailchimp for years and LOVED it, but moved away this last year when my subscriber list necessitated a higher-tiered plan. For many years it provided exactly what I needed (some of the time, at zero cost to me!). Their analytics are some of the very best, and since leaving I miss those. I also miss the quality of their features and overall design integrity. It felt very easy to send out a great-looking email.

Cons

Last year I started paying for my subscription list (which was fine) but as it grew quickly, I realized their plans (even the lowest tier paid plan) were jumping in price astronomically as my numbers increased. I was going to need to start paying around $80 a month for standard features and it just wasn't a good fit for me anymore. At the time of their rebrand, they changed their backend UI and it felt quite a bit LESS intuitive (it may be in part that I was so used to the old dashboard look). Though they have slick branded graphics, I don't think their icons or dashboard layout are very user-friendly. One of the only big integration fails I experienced was their Woocommerce integration (via Wordpress plugin) which didn't really work well at all during my time using it.

### "My experience using Mailchimp"

June 16, 2023

5.0

A few years ago, I began using Mailchimp for my wedding photography business. My colleague and I both found it to be user-friendly, allowing us to easily plan marketing campaigns, send client follow-up emails and newsletters. We appreciated that Mailchimp notified us if our emails were opened within a certain timeframe. Additionally, we were given the option to resend emails that were not opened. Now, I also use Mailchimp for my personal blog. It simplifies the process since I already have a list of subscribers and can easily add new ones as it grows.

Pros

Wow, Mailchimp is seriously amazing! It's incredibly user-friendly and perfect for freelancers or those just starting out with their own business or community. I've experimented with other mailing software in the past, but Mailchimp definitely stands out with its abundance of options on the free and starter accounts. With Mailchimp, you can easily segment your audience, set up automation, and the templates for all kinds of mailing campaigns are an absolute game-changer! Sending newsletters has never been easier, and I love being able to track the reading and opening rates as well as growing my subscriber list. Mailchimp is definitely a must-have tool for anyone looking to take their email marketing to the next level!

Cons

This platform is a breeze to navigate once you get the hang of it, even if it may take a bit of time to grasp the interface and functionality at first. While the mobile app may not have an abundance of features, it still serves as a superb mailing alternative.

### "With well-organized features and display is easy to use."

September 1, 2022

4.0

There are several different delivery services we could have used for our campaign. However, we decided on using the campaign creation screen because it's the most familiar and simple option. Creating a campaign on this screen requires no testing; its contents won't fail unless you remove critical parts such as the recipient and subject line. Additionally, you can create HTML emails on this screen— which allows for visually striking emails — easily. Currently, only plain text emails can be created with this service.

Pros

Sending newsletters via email is easy; there aren’t many options for editing HTML emails. Since their customer base primarily uses Twitter, it's beneficial to be able to link to other services used for email distribution. This makes it possible to send linked campaigns through emails and tweets from the service as an actor in the campaign. Recommended for first-time newsletter senders. This service can be tried for free; it's also the only service in its price range that automatically gathers subscribers from other systems and regularly sends out emails. By automating the tweets, the process eliminated the possibility of tweets being deleted. Plus, it reduced the amount of time people spent working manually.

Cons

Emailing members valuable information for free is possible through the analysis of multiple emails. Consequently, this allowed for effective email distribution.

### "Email marketing tool for small and medium business"

August 9, 2022

3.0

Overall its a good tool for small and medium business. If we go for a paid version we have more options to explore. Specially if the main business is email campaign then its best have the options to have more audience type which is available in paid otherwise you can create only one group. The price seems to be bit high for small firms.

Pros

The readymade template which can be select and proceed with our spending much time and the options to schedule your campaign is a time saviors. The integration with the forms and the audience database is a good feature which avoid the rework. Testing your email campaign with multiple version is one of the best feature.

Cons

Some times the campaign get stuck put on hold because their algorithm thinks is a spam. We have to contact their support team to release / reinitiate the campaign this is painful process.

November 29, 2020

It's a very useful platform for business owners, and it can help to improve the performance of a marketing campaign by giving us some insights about the campaign. It helped me a lot to build a strong repetition and to be able to not spam my customers and let them run away. I wish they can add more features and keep updating this great platform and we will keep talking about it and recommending it to our friends.

Pros

They have a Free plan and I really like it because It allows me to send up to 2000 emails monthly. Very easy to use and the UI is very clean and it's for everyone. Mailchimp Drag and Drop option are great because it's very simple. I really like their Integrations with a wide range of popular platforms. Everything is in one place and you really don't need any other Platforms. I can create and build a contact list for my marketing campaigns/promotions and to reach out to my customers. It allows me to automate my emails and get an analysis of the performance of my campaigns. They have a lot of templates, and you don't need to create anything from scratch. I'm getting a lot of information about my promotions, and which one is performing very well and this helped me to focus more on some "winning products". They really helped to solve my Marketing problems, and they really helped me to reach my business goals and to build a good repetition and I really can't change it to another platform because my customers already recognize MailChimp emails. They have also, a great support team and they offer a lot of tutorials and blog posts to help us understand how Mailchimp works.

Cons

They can improve their reporting system because it's not accurate sometimes. They can give us more control to build an email automation system. After all, they are doing a great job, and they keep adding some great features and I feel like they are listing to us and giving us what we need exactly for a better experience.

Mailchimp offers widely available features to manage, create and send e-mail campaigns. Sometimes we just want to send a campaign and the other time this has to be an automation funnel. Everything is possible and with their 3rd party integration is just doesn't stop there. Features are literally endless.

### "Robust emailing marketing software with lots of third-party connections."

November 1, 2017

4.0

Pros

MailChimp is a very popular email marketing platform that makes it easy to send out mail campaigns. We use a great plugin for our gravity forms pushing anyone that submits a form on our website to a specific MailChimp list, group, or segment. This makes it easier than trying to regularly upload a list each time it changes. It's popular for good reasons as setting up templated emails is really simple, guided by a step-by-step process with additional coding and advanced setup features. It also allows for RSS feeds to be sent to a blog signup list. Creating automatic drip campaigns is another feature we utilize heavily and works great at increasing follow-up. The split A/B testing is a great way to test the messages of your marketing campaign. Being able to see the reports on clicks and users makes it one of the best features of MailChimp. We use it as a way to know our warm leads we should be reaching out to.

Cons

Although being easy to use, the few spots you get snagged up on are better resolved through a Google search than a chat to the support people. They stink. The other big con to MailChimp is the way it handles lists, groups, segments, and signup forms. Because MailChimp bills you for every last contact you have with your lists, creating duplicate lists can be an expensive mistake. The only way to separate contacts without getting double billed is to use segments and groups. This creates a challenge when using the signup forms, as the person will have to choose their preferred group to join. It would be better if MailChimp either made the signup forms group based or allowed for separate lists without duplicate charges. The other big downside to MailChimp is the difficulty with managing a user's email preferences. For example, if a user only wants to receive monthly emails instead of weekly emails, creating that option can be a bit tricky without some careful planning. It would be simpler if MailChimp created a frequency option as a customer profile option. This would fail-safe against sending out too many emails to someone that wanted fewer emails.
