Tell HN: Mailchimp is incredible

7 points by adelevie 15y ago ↗ HN

I just tried Mailchimp for the first time for my student organization, the Penn State Entrepreneurship Network. I sent out an email to our 300+ members and now I am glued to my computer, hitting refresh every 30 seconds (who am I kidding, every 5 seconds!) to check the analytics of the campaign.

In a tech world filled with hype, Mailchimp is the real deal. So to whoever is behind Mailchimp, congrats on getting so many things right. And, thank you!

It would actually help Mailchimp to educate their users or potential users on how to get newsletter subscribers. maybe even a youtube channel or video blog would do them good.

I tried MailChimp before but found them to be very slow, often it took hours for a signup confirmation email to be sent out which had a noticable impact on people confirming, so I ended up using SendGrid instead.
