My First and Favorite Email Marketing Tool

Likeliness to Recommend

7 /10

What differentiates Mailchimp from other similar products?

Its ease of use. During my time in the industry I've had occasion to use seven or eight similar ostensibly similar email marketing tools and MailChimp is still the only one I was able to pull out of the box so to speak and use without any training of any sort.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Probably the customer journey builder. I was a writer before I became a digital marketer so storytelling is still the way I naturally think through campaigns and Chimp's CJB makes it easy to execute on that ideation.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I don't love its data/analytics side but then that's a problem I also have with the competing products.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

To just sit down with it for a day. I think you'll like it.

Pros

Reliable

Helps Innovate

Cons

Slower Product Innovation

Less Efficient Service

Easy to use and provides a free plan to start

What differentiates Mailchimp from other similar products?

Provides a free plan and lets you upgrade as needed.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

As above, lets you sign up for free. Many other software products only provide a free trial period. With Mailchimp, you can use the free plan for as long as you need it and still have access to a wide range of features.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Mailchimp has raised its prices and cut back on features for the free plan compared to a few years ago.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I would recommend Mailchimp as a great way to start off building an email list.
