MailChimp Software

I had heard of MailChimp before and just disregarded it as another mailing software; now that I've used it, though, I recommend it to everyone!

Pros

MailChimp is incredibly easy to use! Even someone with limited experience can create a sophisticated newsletter, announcement, or campaign using this software. I love that MailChimp allows me to send test emails and reviews multiple times what's being sent to whom, eliminating some of the anxiety of sending a mass email!

Cons

As with any software, there's a learning curve as you adjust to where everything's at, which buttons do what, and how to get exactly the look you're imagining. I wish MailChimp had more of a graphic design component to it, but it's easy to use other softwares and import things into your campaigns anyway.

A pretty good software must use for simple campaigns.

Pros

Email - A very good and secure email campaign system
Reports - A very well presented report interface
Mobile Application - Good mobile application

Cons

Lacks a few of important micromarketing functionalities.
Little complicated, must work on usability.

Pros

East of use and updating the lists. List for unsubscribed, and permanent bounces. It also lets us see when the email is opened.

Cons

I could not find the button to download the current list.It has always been reliable and operating when ever I log in.

Pros

We really enjoy MailChimp. We have several clients with different needs that we support. MailChimp's functionality and ease of use makes it the perfect software for us to use.

Pros

The drop-and-drag design functionality makes it easy to customize emails, and also comes with great built-in templates so you don't have to start from scratch. The integration with Salesforce is very helpful since it allows for information to be synced and up-to-date without having to manually check records all the time. Ease of use with running reports for analytics and benchmarking is also a great feature. Customer service, especially the live chat, is very helpful and they are quick, responsive, and knowledgeable.

Cons

If you are not familiar with how the integrations (such as Salesforce) sync with MailChimp, keeping track of records can be difficult. Learning the advanced options takes more time if you're not familiar with how workflow rules apply.

thanks

Pros

Variety of layouts for e-mail newsletters, Easy to save and come back later, clean layout, easy to upload photos

Cons

I really can't think of any cons. Could include more layouts for variety? More free e-mails is always a plus

Great option for those with a limited budget as the free option provides a lot of functionality. If you are able to afford a paid version, the additional features can be helpful but are not necessary. Many pre-loaded template options assist those who are not used to graphic design.

Pros

Ease of use, premade templates, easy integrations with other software, automated management of lists.

Cons

No major complaints about the program. Some of the additional features are really not necessary so if you just want a simple newsletter or email system, there are a lot of functions you will not use.

Pros

Easy to use, inexpensive, drag and drop templates are easy to use for those who don't know HTML, great reporting features

Cons

This product is really made to be used by smaller companies. When I switched companies, I would have liked to keep using them but they couldn't support our email volume.

Great app. Best email platform in the industry. If you're not using MailChimp, you're not using MailChimp!

Pros

So easy to use. Drag and drop features are awesome. Integration with other apps are fabulous. Agency feature streamlines all accounts to be manageable.

Cons

Some features are placed where they make sense, but it's not until you stumble upon them that you find them. For example, I had trouble manually adding subscribers to a workflow. I got it eventually but small things like that where practice makes perfect. Also, my company tried for months to have a conversation with MailChimp to talk about a partnership... But they would only accept emails to communicate. We were talking serious business and it seemed impossible to really grab their attention.

MailChimp is great. But, with that said, take the time to consider where you're going as a company. Will it fulfill your needs in a year?

Pros

MailChimp is as advertised, simple, high-performance, affordable email marketing. The email builder is truly world-class, no HTML or CSS knowledge needed. Email deliverability is excellent. I'm really not sure email marketing can be easier than MailChimp. If your email marketing needs are basic, this is probably the best option on the market for you.

Cons

While they've made progress on automation and nurturing, it's still limited and not as flexible as other true marketing automation solutions. Many people don't need to develop complex nurturing streams and buyer journeys, for those people, MailChimp is fantastic. For those who do (or just as importantly, plan to grow into it) this can eventually restrict your growth.

Please inform users before blocking services. Since many users don't read your policies. Atleast give them a notification so they can save themselves before the time runs out.

Pros

Forever Free Plan! for 2000 contacts. Mailchimp is awesome in the way it helps small organizations to fulfill the demands at no cost. Moreover it can used easily by the novices as well.

Cons

It definitely lacks support and softness. The way it blocks data and bar user to use services, without telling the absolute reason. I still remember last time i contacted mailchimp, it took them 10 days to revert and still the case is not resolved.

This is the best mass mail solution I've used. From it's ease of use to its affordable, this is the solution I will not depart from. I just sent out another 'stay in touch' email to clients which was fast, effective and easy to track. Well done, Mailchimp! You've listed to your customers.

Pros

Easy to use, Filled with templates for every need / purpose, great value, excellent reporting mechanism.

All in all it is a great product for marketing purposes. We use it to advertise our events linked to Eventbrite and for our monthly newsletter.

Pros

It is an easy product for someone who doesn't have a graphic design background to use and finesse out for their particular needs. The ability to import and export lists is good. The templates on display are great.

Cons

Not necessarily MailChimps fault but the new privacy laws make it difficult to import large lists. Have to work around that one. Could do with a few more nice fonts to choose from.

Pros

They are a big name in this industry and it's easy to see why. Robust feature set + easy to use. This is easier said than done!

Cons

None really. Perhaps there could be more customization options for organizations that need that (but we haven't needed that so far)

Pros

I've used Mailchimp before for personal purposes and, in terms of getting mass messaging out in an efficient manner, Mailchimp worked tolerably well.

Cons

Since I used it to distribute newsletters, I found it difficult to correctly format the html and often had to send several tests of my message before coming up with something that would look good in MailChimp. It's possible this would have happened regardless of the provider, but I'd appreciate it if there were more of a "preview" in MailChimp before sending.

MailChimp is so versatile with whatever you are using it for whether it is personal, for a business, for a non-profit, it works great for all.

Pros

Very easy to use, great layout, a lot of options within the email creation itself, integrates with a number of other softwares, some features are free!

Cons

I have not come across a con yet! However, I know that MailChimp doesn't integrate with every single software out there but who can really do that?

MailChimp is a great value. I looked at several others who wanted to charge me a lot more for the number of emails I send. MailChimp's pricing is simple and is based on the size of your list rather than the number of emails you send. So, you don't have to scrimp on reaching your customers due to cost.

The support is just OK. I've been on MailChimp for several months and I still stumble across things I can do that I didn't know before. There seems to be no sales/marketing team to guide you along the way. I'd really like to start doing some more advanced emails based on customer behavior. So, I'll be looking for alternatives to at least supplement MailChimp. If you're just looking to blast out newsletters, you can't go wrong with MailChimp though.

Pros

The pricing is great
Fairly easy to use
Many integrations with lots of other solutions
Great for blasting to your list

Cons

Support is just OK- no phone support on most plans
No assistance in finding how to use advanced features
Segmentation is pretty rudimentary

It is a great platform and has helped me a lot with mailings.

Pros

Easy to use, user friendly. I like the Social media platform as I can send campaigns through my social media platforms

Cons

I don't like how the resending of campaigns is done. Also, I would like to be able to send to multiple lists one campaign instead of sending the same campaign 1 by one.

I can highly recommend this software for small or large organisations. We pay a small fee each month as we have a few thousand on our mailout listing but the private person could use it for free.

Pros

The ease of functionality. Even someone who is not versed in coding can set out a nice email or newsletter

Cons

Nothing really - maybe the new privacy laws have created difficulty in sending our some emails - but that's not Mailchimps fault!

My assistant takes care of most of it now.

Pros

Once it's set it does work as planned, and the reports are very easy to access and use. I like the editing ease as well

Cons

Very tough to learn , the terms for certain features and functions was tough to learn and the online help techs offered varying soultions
