Mailchimp Transactional Email reviews

Het is eenvoudig te integreren met andere platforms, zoals e-commerce sites en sociale media. Het biedt vele sjablonen en ontwerpmogelijkheden voor nieuwsbrieven en e-mails.

De integratie met sommige websites en platforms is beperkt.

Seemless integrations with websites and marketing flows. The sleek design and functionality makes it possible to link websites and this CRM.

Integrations with zapier and mailchimp can do wonders.

The price tier is a little on the higher end, and for obtaining some features, the user has to pay large amounts. The pricing plan could be more flexible.

Ease of building the template with examples in the Mail Chimp database gave me a great understanding of how to create graphics that would better align with the trends of today and how to better communicate with my donor base. Sometimes starting from scratch is intimidating but the support staff is very helpful and available.

Sometimes navigating where a campaign / eblast / structure is setup within the database can be tricky. Begin reading about the different setups within the database before building. I like to generate one look and duplicate for future endeavors. Sometimes I had a hard time locating the original in my Mail Chimp base.

It was free. It did get most emails to our subscribers. It did allow for the insertion of graphics into our emails.

ZERO customer service. None whatsoever. Some functions were easy to figure out, but not all and, when there was a problem, there was no way to get help to resolve it.

We got into Mailchimp early on so we are still on a free plan. We are able to sync with our church management software and put different lists into the system. It makes it easy to get specific emails out to specific groups of people. The design part of the emails is sometimes a little hard to figure out but we have created a few basic templates that we like to use that look nice.

The one thing that I think is difficult is the email design. It's not overly hard but it is not super intuitive. It's sometimes hard to find the options you are looking for when designing and it is sometimes hard to figure out what to do to get the result that we want.

It is easy to setup your basic email campaigns to help get your email marketing started for your small business. The templates help you get all the information you need and generally it is a step by step process.

If you want to get into any real detailed marketing, you'll need to know what you're doing. While they do have good documentation, you'll need to dig in or hire a professional to handle it for you. The Customer Journey is a new addition that is really nice, but not 100% reliable yet. We’ve had to revert to regular campaigns a few times due to Journey failures. That said, Mailchimp support was very helpful and determined to work with their developers to create long term fixes.

Complete reporting: Fundamentally, it includes information on clients, geo-tracking, social media, and Google Analytics integration.wonderful template editorThe editor in MailChimp is straightforward but effective, and the interface is tidy.Many Integration Possibilities: Mailchimp provides more than 500 connectors and add-ons. As a result, integrating any marketing tools you now use or finding new ones for your company won't be difficult. Other features: Mailchimp is adding more functionality, with the most recent additions being an online store builder and appointment scheduling software (the latter of which is only presently accessible in beta in the US and UK).

High-priced subscription packages: Due to the free plan's subscriber cap and severely constrained monthly email blasts, marketers will be forced to upgrade to the paid packages sooner than they would like, and the costs escalate quite quickly.Email scheduling is not available on the free plan, which makes it much less appealing. Mailchimp recently removed this feature from its free forever plan. Moreover, you will only receive 30 days' worth of access to support.

Good experience in sending newsletters to customers.

The reporting part should be improved and the quality of support.

This is so easy to use and was mindless to setup at the outset. The platform provides great analytics reporting, effective database management, and ensures we are in compliance with email regulations.

While the builder tool is quite easy to use, it does get 'hung up' on occasion and can be a little frustrating with alignment and formatting of email elements.

I like that i am able to reach out directly to my fans/Customers directly without any hassle. I have tried running ads on other platforms but nothing as effective in converting sales as mailchimp transactional email. I highly recomend.

Sometimes my emails get stuck in junk and i miss a customer. I think mailchimp should provide a system that allows for mails to go directly to the inboxes.

Easy Integration, part of the wider established Mailchimp ecosystem.

Not much, pricing and locking of features between the different tiers could be structured better.

1. Easy to Use: Mailchimp is one of the most user-friendly email marketing software products on the market. It's designed to be intuitive and easy to learn, with a user-friendly dashboard, drag-and-drop editor, and step-by-step tutorial.2. Affordable: Mailchimp offers an affordable pricing structure, with plans ranging from free to $299 a month. This makes it a great choice for small businesses and start-ups.3. Automation: With Mailchimp’s automation feature, you can set up automated campaigns to send emails based on user activity, such as when a customer joins a list or makes a purchase. This can help to streamline your email campaigns and save you time.4. Reporting and Analytics: Mailchimp provides detailed reports and analytics, so you can track the performance of your campaigns and make informed decisions about your email marketing strategy.5. Integrations: Mailchimp integrates with hundreds of other services, such as Shopify, WordPress, and Salesforce, making it easy to integrate your email campaigns with other parts of your business.

No Phone Support: Mailchimp does not offer phone support, so if you have a complex question or issue, you will need to rely on their online support system. Limited Segmentation: Mailchimp’s segmentation options are limited, making it difficult to target specific groups of customers.

I liked that even though MailChimp has evolved over the years, the free plan is still useful for small businesses without big budgets, and with a small but valued number of people on their mailing list. Integrations with third party tools is also possible, and you are given tips to make your email stay and get opened in your customer's inbox.

Some features that make your email stand out, increase engagement and make your emails more relevant for your customers are a paid feature. You have to really consider if you would like to subscribe to use the other features or if you and your team can live without them.

Mandrill provides a simple and well documented API and has libraries and integrations available for many major web frameworks and languages. Making use of it for simple email sends is a fast and easy process, and it provides additional functionality for black lists, white lists, bulk sends, static IPs, etc. Their dashboard makes it extremely simple to see all the emails sent to a given address along with full content and reasons why sends failed or were delayed, which is a great for debugging and testing. They also provide analytics and send, receive, open, click, and bounce rates.

The service used to be much cheaper, but costs went up sharply when it was reabsorbed back into Mailchimp. Still an excellent service, but harder to recommend without reservation.

MailChimp Transactional Email is an easy-to-understand product for designing and sending email campaigns. With an interface that is user-friendly and a simple integration process, the software is by far the easiest email software I have come across. Also, it is the dominant email software especially for small business owners with lean budget. So it means that it is hard not to find a client or platform that will have problems integrating the software. And the most interesting is that it can be accessed for free if one is starting with a zero to small subscribers.

Just as with every other software, MailChimp Transactional Email has its little inadequacy. For instance, the developer could make the interface a bit easier and more fun to use. Also, integrating it on a sales funnel design should be seamless as I often have a headache trying to figure out where exactly to input the code. In addition to this, the tracking accuracy could be worked on.

Mailchimp can be a great starting point for folks looking for a free email marketing program. I was able to send emails to my small list of subscribers for a few years, without needing to upgrade to meet my basic email needs. Its array of templates also allowed me to present the right information to the right audience. By duplicating campaigns and making tweaks as needed I was also able to save lots of time.

Although Mailchimp is accessible and a great starting place, as your list grows it becomes pricier and loses some of it's draw. The templates can also be a bit clunky to manage, and I often found myself screaming at the editor because a paragraph wouldn't look like the rest for whatever odd reason.

The platform's overall design language has been carefully considered, and the layout and templates are exceptionally user-friendly. I particularly value the platform's delivery of data and analytics, which are transparent and simple to understand. I can quickly assess how well an email campaign performed without any hassle.

Email campaigns may not be as effective as they may be due to deliverability concerns with emails sent through Mailchimp. Compared to other email marketing solutions, I thought the personalization choices were either limited or not as sophisticated. Additionally, I've run into bugs or other technical problems with Mailchimp.

Works well, haven't experienced any problems. Has an online GUI where you can easily find emails that were sent, easy to see blacklisted emails. Has a nice statistics page to see how your emails are doing overall. We've been delivering millions of emails in past year without a problem.

The PHP SDK I used was kinda outdated and it had little options to change the behaviour without manually changing the source. They should update the library to standards that are more current.

GUI where you can view emails, etc. sometimes is a but slow. The search filters could use a face-lift.

The software is very affordable and great for email marketing for small businesses. Dashboards and automation are very helpful.

I found that there weren’t a lot of out-of-the-box landing page templates to choose from. The ones that were available were specific to e-commerce and b2c businesses.

As a SaaS company, we have customers that use our product and depend on automated emails to get information about their account on a daily or weekly basis. Mailchimp allows us to quickly flag whenever something has gone wrong in our system due to abnormal spikes / lapses in emails sent. It also allows our Customer facing team to see how clients are interacting with automated emails (opens, clicks, etc.) with the helpful ability to resend emails that were missed or accidentally deleted.

The interface can be laggy to load, and not super intuitive how everything is laid out. Overall minor UX improvements could make a big difference between using this tool occasionally to troubleshoot issues, vs. using it more regularly to get proactive insights and reporting.

Domain validation could be made simpler;

Once Mandrill got integrated with Mailchimp the pricing model became less attractive;

The API is easy to use and the setup is fast. Rather cheap plans when you get started (but gets expensive soon)

The archive of messages is way too limited! I don't require to keep track of the message content of all our messages, but for our business we must keep track of whether the emails have been sent/read/rejected or not, and there is no way to achieve this even on a higher plan. We'll have to build a workaround with webhooks or find another tool that offers it

The ability to create various templates that work for most emails. You can also change as needed very easily. The ability to maintain various email lists as well.

Sometimes the audience list can get tricky but it gets better with practice

Mandrill is easy to set up, use and integrate with most web frameworks. The transactional emails provide an opportunity to include a marketing message, one has to be keen though on the laws governing the issue in the area of operation. The emails are highly personalized and relevant to the intended recipient thereby increasing engagement. Fast delivery, great reporting and has the ability to track the status of the email sent.

Mandrill got bundled together with Mailchimp, you have to log into Mailchimp to access Mandrill. By providing it as an add on makes it pricey especially when you do not require the other features offered by Mailchimp. You also cannot buy less than 25,000 emails since that's the lowest block available. If your needs are few and you have unused emails at the end of the month, they cannot be rolled over to the next month.

It's very easy to use and set-up.It provides a lot of great templates that you can immediately use and personalize/customize.It's great for mid-size business companies.

Probably just the contacts management: let's clarify, it's not a CRM and it's not meant to be one.It's a great e-mail marketing platform, but it's not yet a contact management tool.
