Mailchimp

Anyone used Mailchimp to send out newsletters? There's apparently a way to make it imitate your site's design, but I couldn't get it to work with my XF forum, so I'd love to know if anyone else here did.

 

never even heard of it? Got any more information about this service?

 

It's an email marketing system. More info: http://mailchimp.com/

 

I thought about trying it, what exactly does it do? Its sends out emails, and replaces the default email system?

 

Not sure what you mean about replacing the default email system; you can send out newsletters with it to deliver site news and updates (http://bcove.me/mh5cold3), and it's supposed to create a template based on your site design. I tried before, but it didn't work, so I was hoping to see if any of you had tried.

 

Oh, I see what you are saying. I will give it a try once I am free. The thing I dont like is its not fully free, but for a certain number of emails only.

 

Never heard of it myself

 

I wouldn't have more than 2,000 subscribers nor would I break the 12,000-count send limit anytime soon, so that's not much of an issue for me.
