Marketing Automation with Mailchimp

Welcome to Marketing with Mailchimp

Marketing and commerce – it’s ultimately the crux of why you’re here. Presumably, you’re interested in growing your current efforts or verifying that you’re making the best use of the Mailchimp platform if you’re a current user. Platforms such as Mailchimp can be absolutely huge, and deciding what would serve you now versus what would work later in terms of your marketing efforts can be very overwhelming.

I don’t want to discount the value of the robust knowledge base that Mailchimp’s own technical content team maintains. It’s been written by some of the smartest and kindest technical writers in the business, but what we can build together here in this book is a holistic vision for how the pieces that you’re already using fit together and can be boosted by leveraging more of the platform.

Let’s get right into a little background on Mailchimp and then define how we will be using both some general marketing terms in the broader context and terms you will see in the Mailchimp platform itself that deviate slightly from their typical utilization in the marketing industry at large. The goal here is just to set a solid foundation and understanding of words we’ll be using throughout the book, but also in the event that you don’t have an existing Mailchimp account to work with, we’ll also be walking through creating an account quickly toward the end of the chapter.

In this first chapter, we will cover the following main topics:

  • A glance at Mailchimp’s journey
  • Understanding and using online marketing with Mailchimp
  • Mailchimp-specific terms
  • Common utilizations
  • Creating an account

A glance at Mailchimp’s journey

Mailchimp, like many startups, started its life as a side hustle for its founders Ben Chestnut and Dan Kurzius. Ben and Dan operated a web design agency called Rocket Science Group and repeatedly noted that their smaller and mid-sized clients in particular mentioned their need for email marketing services. So, over time, on the side, they built the first Mailchimp email marketing service for small businesses.

Both Ben and Dan had parents who ran and operated their own small businesses throughout their childhoods and so they saw first-hand how difficult it could be for entrepreneurs to compete with better-equipped or larger competitors. This drove them to what ultimately became the mission of Mailchimp – to empower the underdog. In 2007, Rocket Science Group ultimately ended its agency work and turned all its efforts to developing Mailchimp into something specifically designed to provide small and medium-sized businesses with an email marketing tool as their initial entry point into marketing and staying in touch with their audiences.

Over the next decade, the needs of marketers steadily increased and became more complex. As the market pivoted more heavily toward diverse types of digital marketing, this drove Mailchimp to add more channels to be able to continue to equip the businesses that grew with them with what they needed to stay competitive. Of course, not only was this a benefit to long-time Mailchimp customers but it also ensured over time that Mailchimp stayed an ideal platform for new folks to start and grow with.

Over 20 years, this specific focus on small and medium-sized businesses and the commitment to the success of its users really propelled Mailchimp from being a bootstrapped, quirky, obscure, small email marketing platform into being a globally recognizable brand that does so much more. It kept much of what made it quirky and scrappy but certainly made its way to the front of the pack. This brings us to the current-day Mailchimp marketing platform.

Now that we have had a look at Mailchimp’s journey, let’s walk through a quick overview of the online marketing universe and then define some general terms and specific terms used in Mailchimp.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
