MailChimp Software

Pros

This platform is great for email campaigns. There are pre-made templates that you can use or design your own! It's very quick to get set up and start working, and affordable! I definitely recommend this for small company email marketing!

Cons

I wish there was a little more customization available, as far as the design goes. I would like to see more options to upload a background, adjust measurements for logo, etc.

Pros

All the functionalities you'd expect in an email marketing software. Seamless integration with all leading CRMs and multiple productivity tools. Easy authoring interface to create and modify email campaign from scratch, including multiple templates ready to use. The free option is more that enough for running powerful campaigns in a small customer base.

Cons

Haven't found a downside in this tool. I've used it frequently for a good time and have fulfilled my needs.

Pros

It is free, up to a reasonable size on the list. Seems to be used by a lot of larger companies, some that I thought would be using something else.

Cons

UI is horrible. I can't figure out where the overall list is, how to get it segmented, clumsy when integrating with LeadPages.

I set weekly goals to learn different aspects of the program. There are lots of tutorials to help.

Pros

Mail Chimp is intuitive. The basics are very easy to learn. It is a much better way to send mass emails. The clients' names are kept private and you can monitor their interactions. It is also easy to determine which emails & subject lines are effective. The initial set up can be time consuming, but once it is done, your list will be clean and productive. I was up and running with the basics in under 2 hours. That includes importing and cleaning my email list, setting up templates and designing & sending my first email.

Cons

Some of the editing features can be complicated. It requires an investment of time to really use the features effectively.

Very good product for marketing purpose

Pros

Multiple types of Templates available to use.
User Friendly
Also Allows user to design their own templates either using GUI or Codes

Cons

Bit of limitations when designing your own template.
User has to be professional programmer if user wants to design template using codes

Pros

This service features plenty of templates and provides a simple editing platform for email marketing. If you're just getting started with your small business, this service is an excellent place to begin understanding the complexities of eMarketing.

Cons

Uploading an existing contact sheet could be better. Sometimes the software doesn't recognize the layout of your CSV files and require manual input to correct errors. Otherwise, there aren't a lot of negatives.

Working in digital marketing I send a lot of email campaigns and consult on many others. MailChimp is usually my recommended choice depending on the needs of the campaign.

Pros

Easily design and implement email templates
Easily create and deploy email campaigns
Easily manage email lists
Drag and drop email templates
Continual innovation in current and new email and automation products
Customer reps respond quickly and efficiently

Cons

There are not many things I don't like about mail chimp. Their automation side used to be subpar to other available tools however this product continues to improve.

Pros

The easiest platform to use for mass email campaigns by a longshot! Totally customizable and user-friendly. Being so easy it also makes it easy to train others in very little time, even if they have limited computer skills!

Cons

Auto-social media posts are kind of glitchy. They don’t automatically change the text of the post if you copy a campaign and change the subject line of the email. It’s annoying, but not a dealbreaker. JUST MAKE SURE YOU CHECK IT EVERY TIME!

MailChimp provides a good product at a reasonable price.

Pros

We have used MailChimp's analytics features to determine which communications are getting views and clicks. That is helping shape our strategy moving forward. In the upcoming fiscal year we will start using some additional features of the system to send more targeted follow up communications that will help us reach our most engaged audience members.

Cons

I wish MailChimp had features that would allow us to automate our follow up communications. I would like to be able to set up the series of emails and then have automatic system responses.

Pros

Our clients love the newsletters I put together every month. Mailchimp is so simple to use for creation, management, and tracking for mass emails.

Cons

I wish that sending follow-up emails and link clicks were a little easier to understand. The process for automation is quite old school. But overall great product, and super affordable!!!

Very easy, convenient and efficient.

Pros

Firstly, it is so easy to set up, unlike many other mailing products. Secondly, there are so many other features that we can add to our campaigns which add a lot more to the emails. The reports and analysis are also very easy to understand, which is a very good point when it comes to sending mail campaigns.It also has a free trial for users to understand the features and can decide if they want to go ahead with the paid model or not.

Cons

One thing here is that the duplicate emails aren't recognized by mailchimp which can lead to a higher bounce rate. Otherwise, no issues so far!

The email marketing field is increasingly crowded with competitors and it can be tough to find the right fit. MailChimp is one the more reliable and well liked options.

Pros

As far as ease-of-use, MailChimp has a basic dashboard that's easy to set up and navigate. For individuals and/or businesses that rely on email marketing, it's crucial to use a platform that doesn't trigger spam filters and has a high reputation score. MailChimp has a stellar performance record when it comes to both.

Cons

MailChimp can take some time to figure out if the user is coming from one of its competitors. New users will not have the same issues but there is a learning curve that can cause short delays.
The company is always looking to improve their product and in doing so has frequent updates to its product. For someone who finds comfort in routine functions, this can be frustrating to have to learn a new set up every few months.

Great email marketing tool, if have a business it's your best choice.

Pros

MailChim is quiet easy to use and gives a lot of options in it's free version.
With it you can schedule email to be sent to your mailing list, create various mailing lists, add notes for each contact you add on the software. And if you have an email list you can also import it from other platforms, wich helps so much.
Its use is very intuitive. Is a great too for business and costumers relationship.

Cons

There are too many steps to create an account on MailChimp, you even need to give an email address, wich is not ideal for small business or entrepreneurs that work from home.
And some settings can be a little annoying to set.

Pros

Mailchimp allows me to reach all of my customers at one time. Once they subscribe to the email list, any email that I send out will go to all the subscribers.

Cons

I do not really have any complaints about this product. It is my go-to for communicating with all of my business followers.

Pros

Easy to put together email marketing campaigns. Good to see who opened your emails, other than that, nothing else

Cons

If your business requires promotions of another company for ads or to promote a speaker for example, this is not the product for you. I was instructed to pull my emails by customer service when I used this product. Even after I explained my business, they were not supportive regardless if I had consent or not.

In summary, this is a great tool for start-up's and small institutions as it gets the job done!

Pros

MailChimp is a great email marketing tool for sending email blasts and collecting stats. The best part is the easy-to-use feature and the affordable pricing plans which are great for small institutions as well. Continuous updates with additional features make this tool cool to work with!

Cons

MailChimp has one major drawback as the reports don't automatically refresh after emails have been sent. However, a manual reload option is available. Also, advanced features are available with higher plans.

Pros

It's easy to use for people who don't have any coding background and their email templates are mostly responsive.

Cons

Troubleshooting email responsiveness is not easy for non technical marketers. If you don't have basic html understanding, troubleshooting is difficult.

Thanks for the customer support guys. You rock!

Pros

Easy way to get feedback from many costumers. Set up feedback campaigns and let the customers decide which platform to review you on.

Cons

Takes an hour or so to understand how setting up a campaign works. But they got your back as long as you ask questions.

Pros

Easy to use and easy for me to personalize to my company's needs. Mail Chimp has been a big asset to my company

Cons

There was one moment that mail chimp did not notify me that my free trial had expired, therefore booting me out of my program. I wish they had notified.

Pros

Its the perfect tool for email marketing for a small business. The big thing is ease of use, anybody with a good eye and handle of computers can come up with a neat marketing campaign. Also in terms of cost, for a small firms it's a great tool without hiring expensive marketing consultants

Cons

The biggest issue I had was customer support. Sometimes they are very responsive however I've had time where it was so hard to get hold of them
