Mailchimp Voted Most Popular E-Mail Marketing Program

Recently we conducted a survey on the topic of email marketing and how to make Magento do more for our users. We had over thousands of responses and the results showed that MailChimp was the most popular choice. Users told us that MailChimp works well for Magento because it allows Magento Merchants to really measure the ROI of email campaigns. Through a plug-in to Magento they track when people click from merchant email campaigns, visit the website, and hopefully purchase. All of this information is then gathered and displayed on a merchant’s MailChimp campaign report. The Magento:Mailchimp email extension is available free of charge here.
