What is Mailchimp?

Mailchimp empowers small businesses to do big things by giving them innovative marketing tools that help them grow. Whether you want to get more people to download your app or keep loyal customers coming back, Mailchimp has all the features and integrations you need to become the brand you want to be.

Create integrated campaigns— Mailchimp has capabilities in email, landing pages, automations, social ads, and more—to reach your audience across multiple platforms. Connect your favorite tools to see all your marketing and sales data in one place. Set up automations to make your life easier. Then optimize everything with tools that help you get to know your people and take action on key insights, so you can get a little smarter with every campaign

What’s more, when you connect your eCommerce store with Mailchimp, you can take advantage of even better marketing automation tools that help you make more sales, such as abandoned cart emails, product recommendations, order notifications, product re-targeting emails, product follow-ups, and customer re-engagements.

Mailchimp for Email Marketing Optimization

One huge advantage of Mailchimp is its email marketing optimization tools. They allow you to collect customer data and understand what works best for your audience, thus continuously improving your marketing performance. (This is in addition to its integration with Google Analytics and all standard analytics tools you can get there.)

For instance, you can use Mailchimp to segment your audience to send the right message to the right people. You can also run A / B testing to figure out how best approach your customer segments. For even more flexible personalization, you can take advantage of Mailchimp’s killer tagging feature that allows you to pull in content specific to each of your contacts to make your marketing feel more personal. Ultimately, you can use Mailchimp to create a personalized shopping experience for your customers and set up automated email personalization based on segmentation, tags, events, timing strategies, and eCommerce conditions.

All in all, Mailchimp helps you better connect with your audience at every eCommerce touchpoint and develop email marketing strategies that work best for your business.
