WEBINAR: What you need to know about Mailchimp (GSII Series)
4th August 2020 - 2pm - 3pm AEST
WEBINAR OVERVIEW
MailChimp is a popular web-based email marketing service and a good way for not for profit organisations to get started with collecting a database and communicating with them regularly. Even better, the system is free until you reach 2000 subscribers!
Using an email marketing system like Mailchimp helps you design professional looking email newsletters, share them on social networks, integrate with other online services you may already use, and most importantly, comply with anti-spam laws and track your results so you can improve over time.
If you would like to get started with email marketing, or to pick up a few new tips as an existing user of Mailchimp, this session is for you!
Much of the session will be spent in the back end of Mailchimp showing you live examples.
