Reviews
"Paul was a fantastic instructor, and I was impressed with how the course content was tailored specifically to my needs and challenges. He walked me through the platform in a way that was easy to understand and relatable, while giving real world examples of how it could help grow my business. Would thoroughly recommend."
Kayla Robertson, Host, All Being Well Podcast
"It was great to have small group training with a really knowledgeable instructor who gave us the opportunity to ask questions specific to how we use Mailchimp in our role. I feel much more confident to navigate the changes to the Mailchimp platform after attending this course."

Paul has been very easy to deal with and extremely professional. He was able to explain everything and very quickly deliver what was required at a very reasonable price. He is now part of our team and we will be using his services more and more as our company develops

Segmentation - organise your list and boost engagement by sending highly targeted email campaigns
Targeted, personalised email campaigns are more effective. Segmentation is a general term for organising your audience. There are many ways to do segmentation, including basing a segment on campaign activity (opens, clicks and so on), contat data such as signup source (via a website, or a landing page for example) and also Groups and Tags. These are very powerful ways of segmenting your list based on your own customised criteria. You can assign multiple tags to your contacts, for example someone could be tagged 'student' or 'member'. Groups provide a way for your contacts to select from a list of options - e.g. 'I like Sushi' or 'I like Pizza'. Check out the graphic for some examples. Let's send an email campaign telling people in Northcote about a new Sushi restaurant in their neighbourhood!
Customer Journeys - Learn how to set up automated workflows that run themselves.
The most common Customer Journey (or Automation) is to send new subscribers a ‘welcome to my mailing list’ email. However, CJs can do much more than that, and may be based on a range of triggers such as making a purchase, clicks on a specific link, someone joining a group, being assigned a tag and so on.
Moving forwards, you can set up complex workflows including multiple emails, conditional branching, tagging and much more.
Signup forms - gather the information you need from your subscribers.
Subscriber signup forms can be presented in a number of different ways. Hosted, embedded in your web page, popup window, or via integrated plugins that work in your web builder or CMS... Whichever method you choose to use, you’ll want to customise, design and present your signup form in the best possible way and ensure that you are gathering the data you need from your subscribers.
