What is Reddit's opinion of
Mailchimp?
From 3.5 billion Reddit comments
100 reviews of this app found across Reddit:
If you look at those light up monkey decorations and think "this is a slur against black people" then you're racist.
The history of using 'monkey' as a slur against black people is well known, and of course the kind of caricature is also well- known. These lights have nothing in common with those racist caricatures. Literally nothing.
But I'll play the game, if these monkey lights are in fact racist caricatures then should the Zoo even advertise their monkey and ape exhibits? If any representation of a non-human primate is in fact a racist caricature then we ought to be consistent, right? Is this racist?
Theres basically no way to do it without a back-end. Anything you put in the frontend code can easily be seen and manipulated by anyone opening the page in their browser.
If you dont need it to be 100% built from scratch, you could use one of the pre-built solution offered by different services, like Mailchimp for example. You basically paste a snippet of their code into your website and the rest is handled by them.
Yes, I'm aware automated emails are a thing. If every single automated email takes about 100ms to render and send (a fairly realistic scenario), sending 10000 of them would take 16 minutes of non-stop hammering on the mail server which would immediately result in throttling and half of your emails bouncing.
It's not a trivial problem to solve and engineers working on it get paid fairly well.
Here's an example https://mailchimp.com/help/how-throttling-improves-deliverability/
I'd say that you should first read this neighborhood guide put together by Mail Chimp. It's sort of a "Neighborhoods 101" for the city (not so much the burbs). After reading it, come back here with more specific questions.
Sure thing!

Video support in email is tricky. Check this out: https://mailchimp.com/help/limitations-of-html-email/
iframes aren't supported, which is what you're trying to do.
Instead some rendering clients support the use of HTML5 video, but things like Outlook will not. Typically people use a fall back to a static image when the rendering client doesn't support video.
If you don't want to change services from Mailchimp, there are a number of workarounds to keep Mailchimp and and Shopify connected. Mailchimp has some suggestions here. ShopSync looks most attractive by the way Mailchimp lays out the options but I've seen some people express problems they've had with that app on the corresponding Shopify app store page. I suspect they are having some growing pains from their increased number of users. That said, they have overall favorable ratings. I do wonder what the app maintainers get out of it, though. It's a free app that seems to be doing nothing but providing help to another service. Are they getting a kickback from Mailchimp, maybe?
Browse some neighborhoods here: https://mailchimp.com/about/jobs/atlanta/neighborhoods/
Atlanta is really big and spread out. There are urban areas with character and cookie cutter suburban areas with strip malls and everything in between.
You could live with a roommate or alone and the costa would vary widely based on where you want to be and if you are willing to have a roommate.
Some one bedroom apartments in a good part of town can easily hit $2,000/mo or more but you can also find studio apartments in a semi shady part of town for much much less.
Traffic is bad here so picking what area of town you want to be in and work in matters a lot. Unless you want to be in your car all time stuck in traffic, which I do not recommend. We do have some limited transit.
MailChimp also has a larger guide beyond neighborhoods here: https://mailchimp.com/about/jobs/atlanta/
Might be helpful to read the "Requirements and Best Practices" from MailChimp.
Technically, yes he could email that list but it's at high risk because these people did not opt-in for this marketing, they opted-in for a different company's marketing.
If there are enough spam reports MailChimp could take action, per their terms of use.
>17. General Rules
You promise to follow these rules:
* You won’t send Spam! By “spam,” we mean the definition on the Spamhaus website.
* You won’t use purchased, rented, or third-party lists of email addresses.
* You won’t violate our Acceptable Use Policy, which is part of this Agreement.
* If you use our API, you’ll comply with our API Use Policy.
If you violate any of these rules, then we may suspend or terminate your account.
I think you're rabbit-holing a bit here. These appear to be entirely unrelated to the overwatch material--different logos, sites have been registered for at least two years, twitter has a multi-month history going back to at least Oct 2016, etc., and the DMO is a real office (http://bit.ly/2sCSUbV).
Edit: mailchimp is also a real service (https://mailchimp.com/), not a Hammond teaser.
EditEdit: Per /u/fifthpilgrim, twitter goes back a year. I'm too lazy to verify that.
All advertising resolves around tracking. You see VPN ads because you were tracked, and you will see the same VPN ads everywhere you go. How are they doing this? See https://mailchimp.com/marketing-glossary/google-remarketing/
Essentially, they upload emails of their users to Google, and have them track you across the Internet and show you ads. Considering they're paying close to $1/click, this is the only way to get ROI on your ad spend.
This is hypocritical and deceptive, for a privacy service that claims it will prevent tracking while doing it themselves.
Options twofold.
- Use a 3rd party app such as ShopSync to integrate Mailchimp to Shopify.
- Switch email marketing provider. Some suggestions are Klaviyo, Omnisend, AWeber, Convertikit, Drip, Sendlane, Constant Contact to name a few.
A few more details here that I wrote up. Mailchimp have more details too.
When you initially captured the opt-ins, is the service/content they opted in for still the same or are you reusing addresses for different projects/services/etc. not related to the initial opt-in agreement?
Also, have you taken the time, throughout the years, to prune the list? Removing hard/soft bounces, unsubscribes, and low/no engagement accounts?
You can read more about omivore here https://mailchimp.com/help/about-omnivore and also you can contact their support if you're confused. We're not tech support.
SOP. This email isn't even about the money. The dollar amount options presented are mostly in the impulse purchase range, with a low potential ROI. Kenney is independently wealthy enough to fund his entire campaign, if he chose. This e-mail is about getting people to donate some small amount so that they're conditioned to support the actual desired outcome of voting for him later.
Optimistic 2% <strong>open</strong> rate on the e-mail to a maximum of 80,000 UCP members (=1,600 opens), with a <strong>click through</strong> rate of just 5% of that 2% (=80 clicks), for a maximum expected ROI of 80*$200=$16,000. There's no realistic way to get $1 per UCP member directly out of an email blast.
Third-party lists of email addresses are prohibited under Mailchimp's Terms of Use. We recommend growing your audience using the tips found here: https://mailchimp.com/resources/growing-your-audience/
The barracuda's do content inspection and it looks like they are putting in links to a domain the barracuda doesn't like. IMO I would leave newsletter sending to companies that specialize in it. That way your content is coming from trusted systems who have built up a good rep with all the email providers and spam lists.
Mailchip is free for up to 2,000 subscribers and 12,000 emails per month
The official Mailchimp app for Shopify will stop working. But there are other apps that can sync your Shopify data with Mailchimp and vice versa. ShopSync is a free app that a lot of people seem to be flocking to. I'm personally waiting a little while to switch to ShopSync since it looks like they are maybe having some growing pains with the large influx of new users (see the reviews on the app store page). ShopSync and some other apps are mentioned here along with Mailchimp's take on this whole mess.
You can add the inactive contacts to a Group before unsubscribing them. You'll be able to view the group of contacts later on and resubscribe people if you want to re-engage with them. As long as the contacts were unsubscribed by the account owner/admin, you should be able to resubscribe them. https://mailchimp.com/help/resubscribe-a-contact/
Where's your job at?
Atlanta tends to be more car-centric than your average major city, e.g. NYC, SFO, DC, Chicago... you can certainly find ways to get by without a car if you want to, but if you'd prefer to have one, you're in the majority.
If you work in or north of Buckhead up 400, Buckhead is a reasonable choice. Buckhead has a particular vibe to it that not everybody enjoys - including myself. I find it a bit pretentious and snooty, so if you're into the more divey or hipstery types of stuff, you might have better options.
Describing the whole of Atlanta is kind of difficult, but MailChimp has a good overview here: https://mailchimp.com/about/jobs/atlanta/neighborhoods/
I would honestly say MailChimp, they've announced recently that this will be free: https://mailchimp.com/features/marketing-automation/ which means that you are able to set up a lot of automated campaigns, which makes life a lot easier.
MailChimp has a guide to the city. https://mailchimp.com/about/atlanta/
As far as nerdy gaming places go, I'm only familiar with Battle & Brew, Oxford Comics & Games, and Joystick Gamebar.
I live in Lawrenceville, so I do most of my game shopping at Titan Comics & Games, Wasteland Gaming, and Galactic Quest. I've also heard good things about Meeple Madness, but that's even further north.
You didn't set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC; they are a requirement for most mail servers today. Without them your messages will fail SPF tests and be flagged as spam, and many recipients may never even see them.
Mailchimp or any other email host isn't going to set these things up for you, it's up to you as the domain owner.
Mailchimp is free for under 2000 contacts (with limited functionality) and very user-friendly. Hopefully, if you can show that a mailing service is a good investment, they will provide you with the tools to help you be successful.
I use MailerLite rather than Mailchimp but there should be an option to create a sign-up form on Mailchimp that you then embed in your website. People can then fill in their details using this form, which adds them to your mailing list. If Mailchimp is anything like MailerLite (and other similar tools) you will then have an option to automatically send out a confirmation/greetings email.
I'd do this on a dedicated page on your website, rather than the contact page (which I would guess is for general enquiries). I'd also be wary of asking people for anything more than an email address; you want to make it as quick and easy as possible for them to sign up.
I'd take a look at this article: https://mailchimp.com/help/add-a-signup-form-to-your-website/ .
Hope that helps!
If you've got 2,000 or fewer people, the best option would be Mailchimp. You can sign up for their free account, upload the names/emails/companies, and use the field merge tags in an email to dynamically pull in that information. https://mailchimp.com/help/getting-started-with-mailchimp/
1) You probably don't want to set up your own mail server - it's a lot of hassle you could save yourself. I'm assuming your client already has some kind of email system set up? Like for internal use, info@ addresses and similar things? In that case you won't need to setup a mail server. You just have to connect to it. How you do that depends on your stack.
2) You can do HTML mail, but it's an absolute pain the behind. E-Mail HTML is not like normal HTML. Depending on the client used the rules can be wildly different and you somehow have to put together something that works on all of them. In either case you should always provide both a text and a HTML version (via multipart). Tools like Litmus can help you a lot with that.
3) Spam-filters are becoming increasingly complex - they use hundreds or thousands of factors to decide whether or not something is SPAM. Those will include things like outgoing links, phrasing, frequency of emails and many many more. Domain is just one of them (if an important one).
4) Why aren't you using one of the existing tools for this? There are plenty of services like MailChimp out there that will make your life a lot easier than trying to implement emails yourself. Working with email is to be feared and should be left to wizards with long beards.
~~eh? You lost me.~~
Wait. I see it now.
<!-- This is a parody website. Not actually produced by SpaceX. Contact for any questions. -->
All the rest of the HTML looks legit enough and is literally impersonating Starlink, from the branding, SpaceX copyright notice, down to the embedded Property Meta-tags with Starlink HQ's legit address listed, 18390 NE 68th Street.
"Parody"—I do not think it means what they think it means. ;)
Maybe tossed it in there in a lame attempt to try to shield from SpaceX/Starlink taking over the domain via ICANN/WIPO Domain Squatter dispute resolution processes? Pretty dumb, if so.
Maybe they're just harvesting e-mail addresses? Something tells me SpaceX/Starlink doesn't use Mailchimp. ;)
Mailchimp... Free for up to 2,000 subscribers and 12,000 emails per month. Easy to implement with embedded code, and you can make very nice newsletters with their template system.
I've only run a few mailing lists before, if anyone else here has more experience, I hope to learn too!
>What domain is it better to send from, a free domain like @googlemail.com or from my own domain?
I don't think it matters but if you use your own domain, you should verify your domain with MailChimp
>The subscribed googlemail.com account received the mail in the "advertisement" folder - does this depend on the content of the mail, the domain i send it from or can i simply do nothing about it?
Campaigns end up in Gmail users' "Promotions" tab. It's up to the subscriber to do anything about that. You can encourage your subscribers to add your From email address to their contacts list, or encourage them to manually move your emails to the Primary tab.
>What are best practices to avoid spam filters? Or do you have to accept that some amount of the subscribers will actually never receive the mails?
When you collect email addresses, get their names too, then use merge tags in your email. Verify your domain. Don't send email that gets you reported as spam. Avoiding spam filters
>Anything else i should know?
You can track open rate and click rate, and try to optimize them, but you should know that there will be many people who never open your email.
On my last sent campaigns I have usually between 25-30% open rate, and occasionally a 45-50% open rate. And from there, your actual conversions will be just a percentage of that. So getting a high subscriber list to begin with, is important, and at the same time, know that MailChimp is only free for the first 2000 subscribers you get. When you exceed that you'll have some billing options to choose from.
hm, if you want to take a look at a mailing list MailChimp has a free plan (up to 2k subs, 12k mails/month) and is probably the easiest to set up. If you need assistance with that, let me know.
You can really only ballpark. Best way to get a ballpark is to start soliciting signups for a mailing list; i.e., get customer emails with a landing page and offer. From there, apply the conversion rate for your category of business. Mailchimp puts the conversion rate for e-commerce mailing lists at about 3%.
I am in e-commerce as well. So, for example, I pay about 38 cents per signup. My conversion rate is around 3%. Therefore, my advertising cost per sale is roughly $13.
As an email gateway admin, I can tell you that if you set up your own smtp server now and begin sending out email you'll most likely get blocked or blacklisted due to the age of your dns, reputation, and the content may appear UCE.
Your best bet is to use a service like mailchimp (https://mailchimp.com/m/pricing/pay-as-you-go/) or ConstantContact that will handle the unsubscribes, bounces, and abuse reports. These services send out a lot of email but because they do a good job with keeping their lists clean and handle abuse and unsubs quickly - they are trusted and allowed to deliver to my domains.
I don't see the endgame either, unless they are malicious Mailchimp competitors, trying to screw with Mailchimp. (I have no reason to think that beyond pure speculation, I should add). This Mailchimp info suggests it's a well-known problem though (one which we're both just finding out about the hard way): https://mailchimp.com/help/about-fake-signups/
Hi there!
In this case, merge tags would definitely be the best way to send unique codes to subscribers. You could create a "Text" field (in your Audience Fields) and add a unique code in this field for each subscriber. When you add the associated merge tag in a Campaign Email, the code will automatically be added to each subscribers' email.
Getting Started with Merge Tags: https://mailchimp.com/help/getting-started-with-merge-tags/
Schedule batch delivery
https://mailchimp.com/help/schedule-batch-delivery/
Use batch delivery to send your email to an audience or segment of subscribers of any size.
To schedule batch delivery for a campaign, follow these steps:
1 - In the Campaign Builder, click Schedule.
2 - In the Schedule Your Campaign pop-up modal, Check the box next to the batch delivery settings.
3 - Click the first drop-down menu to select the number of batches you want.
4 - Click the second drop-down menu, and choose how long we should wait between sending each batch.
5 - Click Schedule Campaign.
https://mailchimp.com/culture/investing-in-people-through-profit-sharing/
> Tom’s (Chief Marketing Officer)referring to our ridonkulous profit sharing plan that puts a bonus of up to 19% of your annual salary into everyone’s 401k plan each year, based on company performance. That’s in addition to a 6% company match for 401k. For example, if you made $75k last year, Mailchimp matched your 401k contributions up to 6% ($4,500) +19% profit sharing ($14,250) for a total employer contribution of $18,750. IN ONE YEAR. All immediately 100% vested. Ask your dad, that’s good shit. Since 2010, MC has matched/contributed over $12.7M to more than 350 employees’ 401k plans.
Something like Mailchimp provides a free tier that would prevent you from having to do any web development. It depends on your list size, but I'd suggest a service like this, as it has all the features you'd ever need and more and you could pass it off to your university department (if you're inclined to) once you graduate.
Alternatively, you could also reach out to IT/Web services at University and see if they already have a service they're using you could piggy back off of.
For your first issue, if two emails have come through fine then it sounds like it's nothing wrong with set up but just a spam issue. I'd recommend reading through this Mailchimp guide on spam: https://mailchimp.com/resources/avoid-spam-filters/
If newsletters are very important to your business, it might be worth setting up Domain Authentication (there is a Mailchimp guide for this too). This can help with getting through the spam filters. It's not something I've had to do for my sites, but I'm not sure if certain domain setups need this more.
For the second issue. In Mailchimp you have an Audience, which will be a list of the people that signed up to your website form. You also have Campaigns. Campaigns can be many things but in your case, they're an email. You create an email campaign, choose the audience, make the email using Mailchimp's email template, and press send!
Love the idea of this thread!
My story may not be the most impressive, but perhaps it can help someone! For context, I have a micro business that involves sharing info-graphs and blog posts online with different communities. The communities then engage with our content and refer to our site, where we sell a variety of products as well as ad units. Right now we do about $200/month (operating costs are about $40/month). So like I said.. micro business.
What worked for me for getting more visibility and traction on our content was sort of three fold:
- Using Medium to cross-post our articles for added visibility (Medium also pays out writers if their articles get views).
- Using cross promotional user pools like Social Stans (it's a new service, we've just used their Twitter option but seems like they are expanding to other platforms soon) to create buzz about our content.
- Building a solid mailing list with Mailchimp. We just create auto pop ups on the site and get about 5-10 signups a week without any additional promotion.
We reached $200 just from this year alone, coming from $0 at the end of 2020. Not the biggest business model, but we are growing, and I hope this helps someone who's in a similar position!
If you haven't emailed them in a long time, they might report you as spam. Also a lot of bounces are bad. Take a look at this before you do: https://mailchimp.com/resources/avoid-spam-filters/
Not sure about which plan works best for that need, but in the tool you can follow the guide here when it comes to importing your email html https://mailchimp.com/help/paste-in-html-to-create-a-campaign/
From MailChimp's own documentation:
> If you work from home, you may not want your home address exposed to your subscribers, so we suggest you use a post office box as an alternative.
There’s a podcast called Partners from Mailchimp that had PJ and Alex on and they actually went to therapy to work on their work relationship because they weren’t getting along. I want to go back and relisten to it.
Just be aware Mailchimp pulled their app from Shopify and I think you have to use a 3rd party app to connect them now:
https://mailchimp.com/help/connect-shopify/
Shopify has its own email campaign app now after Mailchimp pulled their app. It’s called Shopify Email. I was already fully invested in Campaign Monitor before switching to Shopify so I stuck with them.
You can simply use the MailChimp generated forms embedded using an html block. Easiest solution by far.
Curious about whether Mailchimp is any good. They say they do everything and more but does anyone have a personal experience?
https://mailchimp.com/resources/mailchimp-vs-klaviyo/
Here’s a comparison from another source. https://ampjar.com/blog/klaviyo-vs-mailchimp/
I know the sales team in our G Suite reseller company enjoys Copper. We don't use MailChimp, but it looks like they do have integration.
Email spam still works in 2020? I thought that was illegal.
edit after 3 minutes of research: not technically illegal (as long as you comply with the CAN-SPAM Act), just against Mailchimp's Acceptable Use Policy
So I did look into it a little further, and Mailchimp does allow for an HTML export of any templates you save.
Not sure how well that code would translate if I were to use it as the "programmed version" in another client. I don't have the ability to test that currently.
It appears they coded this themselves. They've styled td's as inputs and then have embedded javascript to handle the form submit.
This is a very risky and not recommended way to collect data, you should never try to embed javascript in an email due to so many email clients blocking scripts for security reasons.
Sounds like you're looking for a "welcome series". I don't know why everyone else is telling you Mailchimp can't do that...
https://mailchimp.com/help/create-an-automated-welcome-email/
Just set this up and as you add new clients to the list it will fire off the email.
Mailchimp provides this. They call it "Email beamer." It's a custom address that you send an email to and it mails it to the entire list. It doesn't change/rotate, so you can add it to their address book or create an internal forwarder.
​
https://mailchimp.com/help/use-email-beamer-to-create-a-campaign/
The only idea that comes to my mind is to transform the JSON feed to RSS and then use the RSS merge tags. https://mailchimp.com/help/use-rss-items-content-blocks/
Are you sending these from a personal email service, such as Outlook or even Gmail itself? If you are, you may want to focus on getting it done properly. Using a service like MailChimp (who actively try to maintain a good relationship with Gmail so you don't have to) should help reduce bounce rates, not only to Gmail emails but to people's emails in general.
I recently started using Mailchimp for this newsletters on my site, It has a nice custom email builder (It's free if you have under 2000 subscribers with some limitations obviously) but its cheap enough $9.99/$14.99/month or around $250 for lifetime i think
Im using the free plan on mailchimp but while searching earlier i looked at alternatives for the future i came across an alternative called Sendy.co (once off fee of $59 costs $1 per 10k emails You host it on your own server and it sends via amazon web services
I don't know of anything off the top of my head that meets your criteria. But you can always check MailChimp's Integration Directory.
If you're technically inclined or have the resources to pay a developer you also have the option of leveraging Mailchimp's REST API to build a custom integration.
You could do something similar with merge tag fields in mailchimp to create a custom URL to each of the files. You'd just have to organize everything pretty logically and then add some columns to your list.
This document describes one way you could do it:
https://mailchimp.com/help/use-merge-tags-to-send-personalized-files/
Should be able to get pretty close with just the existing layout editor as /u/Randomscreenname states. You'll probably need to be a little flexible with your paddings and margins. The whitespace and the footer may be difficult to match closely without custom HTML.
One thing that you will have issues with is the text overlaying the background image for the News/Updates and Project Updates section. Some popular email clients, in particular all of the Outlook desktop and web email clients don't support background images without jumping through ugly hoops using Office's VML.
If you just have images with the text part of the image, then there's no issue. But then you can't easily change the text or image without re-editing the image.
HTML e-mail can tough to pull off, particularly if you want to include JavaScript.
This article over at Mailchimp says:
>the vast majority of email clients block scripts since they can hide malicious content.
Can you send the file as an attachment?
Or can you host it somewhere?
.. I'm going to assume your business has its own custom domain, not using generic gmail.com / yahoo.com / etc. domains for email.
Make sure SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are set up for your email domain (usually means you have to add or edit TXT records at the domain host).
For DMARC I'm pretty sure you need to leave aspf in its default relaxed mode due to Mailchimp's inability to send out messages properly aligned to SPF custom domains. Mailchimp uses its own domain for the return address which breaks SPF alignment.
Also make sure you have Mailchimp's server settings for SPF and DKIM in your own domain settings. Once you do enable the verification on their website when you log in.
https://mailchimp.com/help/set-up-custom-domain-authentication-dkim-and-spf/
Beyond that probably not much you can do, sometimes even with SPF / DKIM / DMARC passing correctly the emails may still end up filtered in a recipient's folder due to other algorithms that recipient email provider is using. Often it's just a learning algorithm, so if all your previous emails were being scored as spam then the algorithm takes that into account.
When I re-worked my company's domain records they did indeed pass all the checks but tests to gmail.com were still filtered into Spam. I forget the exact reason, it said something like .."due to emails like this being categorized as spam in the past". In those type of cases hopefully gmail, or other recipient email services, eventually starts filtering your emails out of spam folder.
If you never set up SPF and DKIM, it shouldn't be an issue.
If you setup SPF and DKIM for your domain (recommended), you'll need to merge MailChimp's records with that of O365 or GSuite. They shouldn't have any issues coexist together if those are all the more hosts that will be sending mail for your domain.
sorry about the double post, but this might also help a bit more at face value: https://mailchimp.com/resources/mailchimp-101/
And it's scale-able from what i understand starting with a 0$ price tag. (not sure what this covers, but you can get in there and check it out without financial commitment)
Can't speak about their service as I haven't started using it yet (plan on it though when I get there), I would say check out: https://mailchimp.com/
This was on a GDC talk and a few Postmortems I checked out about a year ago, and I made a sticky note (still plastered on my monitor after a year), and see it every day so I remember for Newsletters to check this out. The devs really spoke to how easy it was to use. Hope it gives ya a nod in the right direction.
What type of email campaign/templates is he creating? Are they completely custom HTML, based on an existing template? Or one of the base WYSIWYG-editor template builders?
If it's custom HTML, they could just create the campaigns under a separate free-level account. When one is ready to send, you just copy/paste the HTML into a new blank template or campaign.
For non-custom HTML, sharing them via accounts by way of a template is probably your best bet. You might check to see if agency-level MailChimp accounts have the ability to copy/share campaigns across accounts. You'd then just set up your company as Agency Account A and your freelancer as Agency Account B.
One other option that came to mind that might work for any type of template is creating campaigns by email. I've never used this feature, but if they're your freelancer is creating the email in MC, I'd hope that it could survive the sending and reimporting into another MC account relatively untouched.
Hi there,
I'm a little confused about what you want to do. I think you're saying you want to transfer word to HTML.
You can convert Word to HTML, but it's not recommended: https://mailchimp.com/help/avoid-word-and-publisher-to-create-content/
If you really want to save time, you could export the word file as PDF and just attach it to the email with a 'Read Updates' button or something?
You could also encourage people to create the emails in mailchimp, rather than word.
Yup, it is possible! Each field in your list will have a corresponding merge tag. If you place the merge tag into your campaign, it will generate that field’s data into the body of the email. For example, in most lists the first name field uses *|FNAME|* as the default merge tag. If you put *|FNAME|* into a campaign, it will populate a contact’s first name into the campaign where the merge tag was placed.
You should be able to find your ‘Validation Codes’ field’s merge tag by going to Lists > down arrow by ‘stats’ > Settings > List Fields and *|MERGE|* Tags. There’s also a guide on using merge tags to help out with them - https://mailchimp.com/help/getting-started-with-merge-tags/
This may be worthwhile: https://mailchimp.com/help/troubleshooting-test-email-campaigns/
Most of the times I’ve run into this issue it revolves around domain verification/authentication. Hope this gets you going in the right direction.
Any of the email platforms below will do that for you, 2 not mentioned are emailout.com + mailchimp.com which are both free, which is always handy when you're starting out.
Good luck with the new project.
Use groups as that's exactly what they're intended for. You can have just a single group category with your various different group names under it, or you could split out your group names into multiple different categories. For the latter, you could have different groups for client type (small business, large corporation, individual), location (NY, NJ, CT), etc. It really is just however you want to split it out.
When it comes time to send a campaign, just segment your list based on group membership. Or you can use pre-made segments based on those groups.
Make your groups visible when your clients sign up and they can maintain their interests themselves. Alternatively, make them hidden and you retain full control. Or mix and match - you could have client preferred topics for some, but you have your own segments that you retain sole control over.
If I follow, it sounds like you added the people you want to send to as users to your mailchimp account. Mailchimp doesn’t have a way to send to users on the account as that’s not what it is built for. If you want to send to the 354 subscribers you’ll want to create a list and then import subscribers. Then you’ll be able to send to them.
Are you planning on using the same plugin or signup form just from different web pages/social channels? If you're using different signup form types, there is a Source field in each MailChimp list that you can use for segments.
If you're using the same signup form (let's say an embedded form) just on different webpages, you could create hidden groups in your list, then link each form to automatically send contacts to those groups. You'd be able to segment by selecting a single group then. MailChimp has a guide on how to do that: https://mailchimp.com/help/automatically-add-subscribers-to-a-group-at-signup/
Hmm.. no.. the majority of marketing team use template editors provided by their campaign platform. You'd be stupid to waste the cost and time of a developpers when you can get a wysiwig tool for a few bucks a months.
Here's one but there are other: https://mailchimp.com/features/email-designer/
Concur on this.
But working at the airport means you'd be living the dream, reverse commuting as long as you don't go too far north of midtown and get caught in the southbound mess north of the downtown Grady Curve.
The one thing that cities like DC, SF have on us is a reasonable grid system that scales under heavy load. People that live in the northern burbs are 100% dependent on feeder arterials and when a wreck happens or traffic is heavy, there are NO other routes. (This also happens to a lesser extent in town with Ponce, Piedmont, Briarcliff and some others being solo arterials).

You want to look at "automation" - if you have Mailchimp hooked up to your shop and the ecommerce side of Mailchimp is already working, then there is a specific workflow Mailchimp have called "Specific Product Follow Up" or "Category Follow Up" which you could use for this.
if you haven't got your store linked to Mailchimp's ecommerce function, then you'd need to get that sorted first before going down the automation route.
The starting point is probably here, but happy to help if you have any issues: https://mailchimp.com/connect-your-store/
I think memberpress does this. For mail outs mailchimp may do the job. Not 100% sure if they do all you ask. Woocommerce might be able to do the small store stuff. Might be worth investigating.
some quick google fu told me NJ has 565? something like that municipalities, so just go sign up for Mailchimp, you get up to 2000 emails for free, or you used to. Its really easy to use.
>>If you don't find what you need, click through the prompts to access our contact form.
Just keep clicking through the prompts on the support page. Eventually you'll get a green message that says
>>Didn't find what you need? Access our contact form.
And then it gives you the contact form below. It took me five seconds to get the contact form to come up, so I think you're missing something.
It sounds like you're looking for their dynamic content feature. You can select whether or not content in your templates show up to a person based on variables you select (like tags).
Hmm. Try zooming in and out of the page a few times.
We also recommend replicating the campaign to see if you're able to remove the content block. If you're still experiencing issues with the content block, save a template from the campaign instead, and try to remove the content block from the template. Any luck?

Hey there. To set this up, you'll create either a Classic Automation with the "Product Follow Up" trigger, and add a 15 day delay, or a Customer Journey Automation with the "Buys any Product/Buys Specific Product" starting point, and add a "Delay" step before the first email.

Hey there. In this case, if you'd like to allow contacts to opt out of one email list, but not the other, we recommend using "groups" instead of tags. By using groups and adding an "update preferences" link to your campaign emails, contacts can choose which emails they'd like to receive.
Getting Started with Groups: https://mailchimp.com/help/getting-started-with-groups/
It's different process for every person, and every platform. But since you're using Mailchimp, this is pretty much the easiest way: set up an automated message for people who sign up from a specific landing page you created for that specific free book promo. The automated message either contains the file, either hosted by Mailchimp or by you on your own server/Google Drive/Dropbox/iCloud, whatever. (Probably best to do this on a pen name email's, though.)
Can you reach out to our Support team with details about what you are experiencing and they can take a deeper look into this behavior with you? You can use this link to send them an email. [https://mailchimp.com/contact]
Hey there! We've got bit of info here on connecting the Squarespace Commerce integration, and setting up Classic Automations. You'll select the "Buys Specific Product" starting point.

Perfect! You're very welcome 😊
There isn't a built-in feature to make this work, but it's possible there's a third party solution. We recommend taking a look at our integrations directory here: https://mailchimp.com/integrations/
Read this (noting the highlighted section): https://mailchimp.com/help/about-campaign-footers/#:~:text=Your%20Physical%20Address,office%20box%20as%20an%20alternative.
If you go into the email template in MailChimp and remove the information in the footer that includes your physical address, MailChimp will add your address at the bottom of any emails you send by putting in a separate image that can't be modified or removed. I've verified that this does indeed happen. They do this because it's required by law (see link above).
I mean, I feel as those are 2 completely different scenarios, with Buena Vista's album really meant to reflect who was playing where it was recorded, David's approach to the album was incredibly different. On the jump podcast David talked about the process and how ir started by his work on a song meant for a Jonathan Demme movie that later evolved into Loco de Amor. You can clearly hear his respect for the musicians who performed, especially Cecilia Cruz.
All that being said, you shouldn't connect any of this to David's mental disorder. I'm not gonna act like he's a perfect guy, his ego and hogging of album credits has been talked about by multiple musical partners, especially Chris Frantz, who talks about it extensively in his book Remain in Love, or on podcasts, like the Rockonteurs podcast, but connecting. But connecting any of this behaviour to his mental disorder is at best infantilization and at worst ableist
If all you're doing is collecting emails, you can use MailChimp free.
From https://mailchimp.com/help/about-mailchimp-pricing-plans:
"If you exceed the 2,000 contact limit in your Free plan, a hold is placed on sending live email campaigns or test emails until you upgrade to a paid plan or reduce your contact count. You'll still be able to work on your campaigns and templates, and collect and import new contacts."
If you never send an email with MailChimp you can keep collecting email addresses forever. You can later export the email addresses to a file and use them wherever you want.
Hey there. While open times can be viewed on an individual basis, there's no way to view the average/peak open times for your Audience. In this case, we recommend creating an A/B test campaign, where you can send two versions of the same campaign to a percentage of your Audience, at different times, to determine if a specific time works best.

It's either done through pasting code directly into wordpress, or through an integration. If it's pasted code you'll want to go in and delete it in Wordpress. If it's an integration you can probably log into mailchimp and delete it. The above link should help you with what to look for.
If your site is built through wordpress, you need to log in there, find the Page it's on, find the code, remove it, and publish.
If you want to import your old HTML newsletter templates, you'll have to upgrade to Mailchimp's Standard plan, as it's not a feature they offer on their free plan.
https://mailchimp.com/help/import-a-custom-html-template/
Prices for the Standard plan for up to 500 contacts would cost you $14.99/month.
If importing existing templates is important to you, then you can always give us a try. Our free Starter plan covers your first 2,500 subscribers and you can import as many HTML templates as you need to.
Let us know if we can help at all.
The keyword you're looking for is "drip marketing".
Mailchimp has that: https://mailchimp.com/features/date-based-automations/ Most other mail sending platforms have this feature these days. Essentially you'd be looking to use their "renewal date" trigger, which works backwards from a date.
If you want to market to them as well, mailchimp might be good. Otherwise some of the others people have mentioned are good like Sendgrid and Mailgun. AWS SES is also great but there is some overhead there for configuring in aws.
Wenn die einen Einschlägigen Email Marketing Provider (z.B. Mailchimp, Sendgrid, HubSpot, Zoho, etc) benutzen (das kannst du in den Datenschutzbedingungen nachlesen), kannst du dich wegen der fehlenden Unsubscribe links auch an die wenden (z.B. hier für Mailchim, i.d.R. unter dem Stichwort Abuse). Das ist zwar in Deutschland nicht so klar, wie das genau zu sein hat, aber die Anbieter haben normalerweise ihre eigenen Regeln die Unsubscribe links vorschreiben.
How many emails do we talk about?
But before building something new, I would always check if you can use something already there. Your problem sounds like you could fight it with e.g. https://mailchimp.com
That's correct. This includes a few steps that would need to be handled manually.
Doing it sequentially would work, or you could set up two automations, each with a different filter that determines which contacts can enter the campaign. This wouldn't likely be a perfect split (like an a/b test), but you could set up Automation A with a condition based filter, like this, and set up Automation B with a different filter:
"Include X contacts who X."
This can be related to signup source, signup date, email address, etc... We'll add a link to a number of different conditions/segments that can be used in filtering contacts for an automation.
All the Segmenting Options: https://mailchimp.com/help/all-the-segmenting-options/
Hey there! This depends a bit on whether this is a Mailchimp embedded form or a third party form. Using Mailchimp's embedded forms, you can add either hidden fields or groups to determine contacts' signup location. Both of these can be used to segment and target contacts.
Determine Webpage Signup Location: https://mailchimp.com/help/determine-webpage-signup-location/
Add Subscribers to Groups at Signup: https://mailchimp.com/help/automatically-add-subscribers-to-a-group-at-signup/
We don't have a built in feature to check the size, but you could save your campaign as a .pdf, and reference the size of this file. To do this, you'll need an archived version of the campaign. In this case, the easiest way to do this would be to replicate/copy the campaign > set yourself as the only recipient > view email in browser > print > save as .pdf.
