would recommend this appPros
I've had a very positive experience. The help desk was able to respond to some of my questions pretty quickly, I like the functionality and my emails look good.
Mailchimp is very great software. I like how it's easy to interface, and how you can clean the data.
I like how Mailchimp keeps track of my audience and helps me categorize them for different types of emails. I also like being able to create appealing and interactive emails for my viewers.
Pros
Later, we added the Donation module and this was the greatest asset for the software. First in importance was the accuracy of the entry and the availability of almost instant reports.
I love that this program is very user friendly. Coming from an accounting background I appreciate the similarities.
I would rate it very well. Adequate support makes all the difference in helping to apply a good experience in working with any kind of software uses.
Cons
I have had instances where the emails sometimes end up in the spam folder or promotions folder, which can be annoying and needs to be figured out.
Mailchimp is used by many which means that spam filters are more likely to tag your emails as spam. I did not have any other problems with Mailchimp.
For a company that's been around as long as Mailchimp has, it's crazy to me how bad the UX/UI is. It's just hard to use so much of the time.
Cons
When trying to correct mistakes or errors it can sometimes be tricky to do. I think this software requires more training than one would expect.
The scheduler program is used by our church, but must be handled separately from all our other calendars due to lack of integration with other programs.
If I were to chose a negative, I suppose it would be the learning curve.

Mailchimp has been fantastic for our church. It even integrates with our church membership database, Planning Center.
Pros
Mailchimp is super easy to use. We are able to train our employees on using it in a matter of minutes. We use mailchimp to communicate with our parishioners.
Cons
The one slight hangup that needs takes a minute to figure out is the "campaigns" aspect to how emails are organized.

Instant communication with all our church members.
Pros
I can set up my own heading and footer, and totally control the content. I like being able to choose the right "box" to hold my content throughout the newsletter. There are many different styles from which to choose that helps my newsletter look more professional. I like that people are able to "unsubscribe" if they no longer want to receive email from us, and that they can reply if they have a comment or question. There are many more features that I have never needed to use, too.
Cons
There are certain features that are not intuitive. That is why I gave it less than 5 stars in Ease of Use. It would also be nice to be able to re-size pictures within the newsletter without having to always go back to the media page.
