    Pros

    They have templates on templates. Their interface seems a little dated, but their coding is pretty powerful. With their paid plans, you can accomplish almost anything you want, especially if you are code savvy.

    Cons

    The interface is not the most user friendly and I think they could make the process of setting up and creating campaigns a lot easier. However I do understand that if you are running lists with 100k+ subscribers then the needs and design will be different than someone with 100 subscribers.

    Has simplified our monthly newsletter process and freed up Administrative time immensely.

    Pros

    I absolutely love the fact that client's /customers can sign up to receive mailings without me having to subscribe/unsubscribe them. Once you have all your mailings set up and organized it is simple to update and create groups for specific mailings. Great for Newsletters or Emergency notices to specific groups/locations.

    Cons

    It was not as intuitive as I had hoped it would be for setting up projects and groups but once I figured out the terminology it was easier.

    We use Mailchimp for our bi-weekly newsletters to roll out updates and news. We have also recently started using the pro version as our subscriber base has grown. Features such as segmentation and tagging are ones we are looking to further explore.

    Pros

    Mailchimp is an easy to use, delightful software that allows us to make beautiful looking newsletters for our website subscribers. The tool is really intuitive to navigate and has a flexible drag and drop designer that allows easy addition of components. It integrates with our Wordpress blog really easily. It also has high deliverability. It provides good analytics in terms of campaign performance. And what's really nice is that Mailchimp is free for up to 2000 subscribers.

    Cons

    I have found it difficult to duplicate campaigns which I have run in the past, wherein I want to reuse again by making slight edits. Also, Mailchimp gets expensive quickly.

    Sent out 162 emails today in 5 minutes and I received 6 replies within an hour that created $10,990 in sales. I am satisfied

    Pros

    Being able to send emails in bulk as well as being able to have MailChimp add in custom words into different sections of the email to make it seem like not a template.

    Cons

    Once sent, the spacing and the lettering almost are too separated and almost computer like. It can let to receiver know that it was a template email and not customized.

    I used this tool for my website and use them for mailing campaigns to target right customer which is really helps to grow the views. I would recommend go with pro version there you will get great features and templates.

    MailChimp is one of the best tool for send emails campaigns. Easy to use features make your work done and saves lots of time. With presence of various templates makes your email campaigns great success. one of the best is that customizing the target people for that mailing campaign. There are you check the analytics of your mail campaigns and can plan according to that.

    Cons

    The basic of mailchimp have less features as compared to pro version which need to pay some high amount as compared to other mailing services.

    Pros

    Mail Chimp is the easiest email marketing platform I have ever used and we have tried/used quite a few. The process to send an email is very quick. The way that Mail Chimp walks you through the email, creating the list, and ultimately sending the email is very fast. I had never used Mail Chimp before and was able to send an email without reading instructions - it was that easy. I highly recommend this software to small companies and non-profits.

    Cons

    Cost is my least favorite part, but who am I kidding. All email marketing can be expensive.

    For the most part, MailChimp gets the job done and for someone with under 2,000 subscribers, their free plan offers more than enough tools to take advantage of. I love how user friendly it is and the editor tool is simple for most to figure out.

    Pros

    The ability to have MailChimp auto send out email newsletters, blog updates, and any marketing materials on its own, without having to manually do each and every one. The fact that Mailchimp includes a number of added tools that offer just enough to take advantage of what it can do. The drag and drop editor is effective for beginners or those who don't have a lot of coding/html background. The free plan will allow for up to 2,000 subscribers, more than enough for me, but others might need to look into the paid plan.

    Cons

    The setting are a little tedious and take some time figuring out, especially when it comes to email automation settings. This can turn some people off and will surely require a learning curve. The subscription plans though seem to be a little pricey for those than need more subscribers.

    Great experience and helps us grow our business.

    Pros

    We use Mailchimp to send out weekly campaigns to promote our business. We collect emails from all potential and existing clients and compile them into mailing lists. We have a plumbing mailing list and a remodeling mailing list. We can quickly use templates to create email marketing campaigns and send them out to specific lists. We can track metrics (open rates, etc.) so we can tweak future emails to increase engagement. We have had great success with MailChimp!

    Cons

    The software really has no flaws. We will continue to use it.

    I LOVED MAILCHIMP! I wish it was sync with our property mgmt software system to avoid the import of contacts from our resident database. The site is super user friendly and the flyers look great in the resident emails!

    Pros

    Mailchimp allows you to insert links from social media or website to allow residents to easy click yes or no or select for resident polls and resident events. The information displays directly in the inbox and not as a attachment.

    Cons

    The last time I did use it, the importing of contacts was a few extra steps
