What is Mailchimp? ✨

Mailchimp is an all-in-one marketing platform that empowers businesses to connect with their audience and grow their brand through targeted communication and strategic campaigns.

What Mailchimp can be used for? ✨

Community builders can leverage Mailchimp for various aspects of community engagement and growth, such as:

  • Email Newsletters: Regularly updating members with newsletters that share community news, events, and stories. Sharing blogs, podcasts, videos, or other content created by the community to keep members informed and engaged.
  • Event Promotion: Announcing and managing RSVPs for meetups, webinars, and other community events.
  • Membership Onboarding: Sending welcome emails and onboarding series to new members to familiarize them with the community.
  • Segmentation and Personalization: Tailoring communication based on member interests, behaviors, and engagement levels.
  • Automated Campaigns: Setting up automated email sequences to nurture leads or re-engage inactive members.
  • Feedback Collection: Distributing surveys and collecting feedback to improve community offerings and member satisfaction.
  • Analytics and Reporting: Gaining insights into email campaign performance to refine marketing and engagement strategies.
  • Brand Building: Crafting a consistent brand voice and aesthetic through customizable email templates that resonate with the community's identity.
  • Transactional Emails: Sending confirmations, receipts, and transactional information for community-related purchases or donations.

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.
