Getting Started with MailChimp


Email marketing with Mailchimp is a great way to keep in touch with your members, partners and donors.   It has a simple user-interface and analytics that is easy to use.


Here is how to get started connecting your Member Essentials platform to Mailchimp:

  1. Setup your free Mailchimp account and set the integration between Member Essentials and Mailchimp.
