Create Social Media Posts & Ads
In 2023, almost everyone has a social media presence – Including brands & organizations! Mailchimp recognizes the importance of a robust social media presence and offers tools to reach your audience on some of the most popular platforms. With Mailchimp’s Social Media Posts & Ads, you can seamlessly connect your Instagram, Twitter, and/or Facebook accounts. Schedule, publish, and manage posts from your campaign page.
By integrating your social media marketing efforts with your email campaigns, you can maintain a consistent brand voice and expand your reach to a wider audience. Check out our post on multichannel marketing to learn more!
Landing Pages
Visually appealing and conversion-focused landing pages can make or break a marketing campaign. Mailchimp’s Landing Pages feature gives you the tools to create an effective landing page. With a user-friendly drag-and-drop builder, you can design and customize landing pages that align with your brand. These pages allow you to promote products, announce special offers, acquire new leads, and more.
You can also automatically tag contacts who sign up via a landing page, in order to send them targeted emails later on down the line. To learn about this process and implement it yourself, set up a training session with one of our email specialists.
Use Mailchimp for SMS
In a world where people are constantly connected to their smartphones, SMS marketing has emerged as a highly effective communication channel. Mailchimp understands this and offers an integrated SMS feature to send personalized text messages and alerts to your audience’s mobile devices.
Currently, transactional SMS is only available to users with a Mailchimp Store. However, Mailchimp has big things on the horizon! They are currently beta testing a more advanced SMS tool, which many users can apply for today. Keep an eye on their product updates page to see when this feature becomes available to all.
Postcards
By reaching beyond the digital realm, physical mail can have a powerful impact on your audience. Mailchimp’s Postcards feature enables you to design and send personalized, printed postcards to your customers. Whether it’s for announcing a special offer, expressing gratitude, or simply staying top of mind, postcards create a lasting impression on your subscribers, who may be overwhelmed by a crowded email inbox.
Mailchimp’s Custom Surveys
Direct audience feedback is essential for improving your products, measuring campaign success, and understanding your audience. Some contacts are even more likely to engage with emails that include surveys or other interactive components.
Mailchimp’s Surveys feature allows you to create and distribute customized surveys via email or using a shareable link. The survey templates are easy to use, with options to add content, set up auto-tagging, and create robust reports. If you need a hand getting your first survey set up, reach out to Pure Firefly.
