RedLime (hearts) MailChimp
Saturday, October 06, 2007
We here at RedLime really love MailChimp. We're not big monkey fans, but when it comes to the MailChimp, we're in love.
For those not in the know, MailChimp is an email marketing solution. I suppose it's in direct competion to Constant Contact, but in our opinion, there is no comparison as Constant Contact is the pits. Just dreadful. We can always tell when someone is using CC as their email is quite ugly and it looks the same as everyone else who uses this horrid service. And that's before we even get to the bottom with the really hideous footer with CC info splattered everywhere. Ewww.
MailChimp, on the other hand, has a beautiful website and you'd never know the person is using their service as their templates are actually clean. And lovely. And not used to advertise the MailChimp service.
Where CC's footer is a great way to learn where NOT to go, MC users are typically so thrilled with their entire experience, they're telling everyone about it.
One of the founders of MC is a Mac freak. For this reason alone, we know they are awesome. Well, there are other reasons as well, but this company is starting on the right foot. A comparison of the 2 sites brings to mind the comparison between a Windoze OS and the Mac OS. MailChimp has a lovely, beautifully clean website and CC, not so much. It *looks* like Windoze. And if you're going to want to look like something, for pity's sake, don't choose THAT!
MC has several different templates you can use or you can create your own. They allow you to carve up their own templates to best suit your needs and they make it super simple.
MailChimp doesn't charge you a monthly fee. What if you're on vacation for a few weeks or you just don't send out an email every month? With MC, you only pay for the mail you send. That's it.
I suppose that right about now, you're thinking that we must work for MC or that we've been paid to write this review. Nah. We just heart the chimp!
These guys have a sense of humor as this blog entry indicates. And this one here? A total scream. The front page of their site currently yells out "email a constant headache?" Haha. Clever Double entendre there! We want to be just like MC when we grow up...
If you are looking for an email marketing solution, you could do a heck of a lot worse than MailChimp. We guarantee it. We recommend this service to every client that asks about newsletter or html email marketing and at this point, I believe we've set up a dozen or so different templates and accounts for various clients.
MailChimp rocks our world. Thanks MC for being so super duper cool and fabulous!
