Overview
Mailchimp is an email and marketing automation platform owned by Intuit. It provides campaign builders, a Customer Journey automation builder, audience segmentation, landing pages, forms, SMS in some regions, and reporting. Its AI features draft subject lines and email copy, suggest send times, and generate content in a brand voice. Small retailers, restaurants, nonprofits, and consultants use it as their first email tool. A small store can connect Shopify or WooCommerce, import customers, and set up a welcome series and abandoned cart email within a day. It integrates with Shopify, WooCommerce, Squarespace, Canva, QuickBooks, Zapier, and Google Analytics. Pricing scales with contact count, and Mailchimp charges for unsubscribed contacts unless archived, so lists should be cleaned regularly to control cost; automation branching requires the Standard plan.
