What Mailchimp can be used for? ✨

- Feedback Collection: Distributing surveys and collecting feedback to improve community offerings and member satisfaction.

What are the limitations? ✨
Mailchimp may encounter certain limitations such as:
- While Mailchimp offers integrations with various platforms, some community-centric tools or forums might not integrate as seamlessly, potentially complicating user experience and data synchronization, and requiring the extra expense of Zapier-type tools.
- For communities focused on delivering regular content like courses or webinars, Mailchimp may not have the necessary features to schedule, track, and manage these resources effectively.
- As the community grows, the cost associated with using Mailchimp can increase significantly, which may be prohibitive for communities with a large number of members but limited budgets.
- Mailchimp is used by many. That means that spam filters are more likely to tag your emails as spam. So you have to think about using additional “warming-up” tools.
