Intuit Mailchimp

As a Time Management Strategist and Small Business Digital Advisor of The Time Tamer, this is my response. The good news is, it's simple and can be easily integrated into your business and with your business tools. However, in its simplicity, it limits the variables. While it can create landing pages (that will trigger automation) this sits outside of your website. Linking it to Facebook pixels and Google Analytics is tricky and feels technically complicated. The automated workflows can be complicated to map and sometimes limited. Many of the workflows are narrowed to the email experience. Mailchimp is limited to one course of action. MailChimp is a great place to start the experience but relies more on an external process for sophisticated automation across your whole business process.

Mail Chimp used to be the go-to mail automation system for the work at Suits&Sneakers, but recent changes have left me cold:

Cons:

- Quotas now limited to one list and under 2000 subscribers which means it is no longer free for many people

- Audiences, Tags, Lists, Segments are now confusing and no good explainer video to make sense of it all

Mailchimp provides a ton of value in their free tier alone. I think the platform is extremely beneficial for businesses that are just starting out and getting into email marketing. The platform is powerful as well and can easily scale with your business as you grow.

MailChimp is a system I've used for the better part of 8 years. The user experience has been amazing and had continued to grow and be enhanced for the user. They've added a lot of features that have expanded the product beyond what I've ever thought and the best part they keep it simple. They also do a great job communicating all updates to the users. It has been one of the best product experiences I've had.

MailChimp is very easy to use from a design and automation standpoint. I can create emails that look good without much effort, and the results of the email sends are very clear. The one area that gets a little tricky is list segmentation, but after reading the help articles they have, segmenting was pretty easy.

Mailchimp is the industry leader in Email Marketing, they basically integrate with everyone. Easy to setup, generous free plan and the recent addition of marketing automation is great. Only slight negative is their prices have increase a little over the last few years but I would still highly recommend as the continue to provide good value.

Does a good job. I think Hubspot is more effective, though
