OAuth2
Developers of apps that integrate with MailChimp can now use OAuth2, which eliminates the need to request sensitive account credentials. Hear that? Way off in the distance, security nerds are cheering.

Instantly create and send beautiful emails for your band, restaurant, online store and more with our AutoConnect templates. Promote the products you’re selling on iTunes, Amazon, Etsy or Ebay. Share reviews of your restaurant from Yelp. Just tell us where to find you, and we’ll do the rest.

Power Features
We don’t think that "easy and affordable" should also mean “stripped down to the basics.” MailChimp is chock full of powerful, sophisticated email marketing tools that anybody can use.

Delivery Doctor
If your campaign is getting blocked by spam filters, MailChimp’s Delivery Doctor will run tests and analyze your campaign until you find out the root of your block.

Subscriber Activity Reports
See a real-time report for every subscriber’s email activities: when they opened, what they clicked, and when they came back. You can even generate a list of people who did not open, and send them a modified campaign.

Groups
Groups give you a powerful way to target your subscribers based on their preferences. If you allow people to join groups when they sign up for your list, then everyone’s going to be interested in the newsletters they receive. You can even import directly into specific groups and hide top-secret groups that you don’t want subscribers to see.

Autoresponders
Save time by setting up a series of automated messages— like welcome emails, birthday and anniversary greetings and event alerts—that go out on a specific day or when someone subscribes to your list.

Featured API
Our advanced API lets you connect and sync your own databases and applications with your MailChimp account. You can even use it to integrate some of MailChimp's powerful features directly into your own app.

A/B Split Testing
Instead of guessing which subject line, from name, day of send or time of send works, run automatic tests with MailChimp. We’ll perform the test, choose a winner and send your campaign accordingly.

Omnivore
Our powerful abuse-detection technology keeps our system clean by predicting bad behavior in a campaign before it even gets out the door. Omnivore is always at work in the background, analyzing emails, absorbing new data and preventing abuse on a massive scale.

Comments and Sentiment Analysis
Allow readers to comment on your campaign archives so your email marketing doesn’t have to be a one-way conversation. We’ll even analyze their sentiment for you.

Social Stats
Watch your campaigns make their way around the internet. We’ll tell you how many people are tweeting your campaigns and liking them on Facebook.

Deliverability
We’re constantly optimizing our system with new technology, proven best practices, 3rd party monitoring services, and ISP relations experts to maximize the deliverability of our servers for over 575,000 users.

Delivery Doctor
If your campaign is getting blocked by spam filters, MailChimp’s Delivery Doctor will run tests and analyze your campaign until you find out the root of your block.

Cloudmark and Barracuda Monitoring
Our abuse desk internally monitors our system with the same powerful filtering technology that major ISPs use to block spam.

Industry Memberships
We stay current on industry and technology standards by being active members in email and ISP organizations such as the ESPC (Email Sender and Provider Coalition), AOTA (Authentication and Online Trust Alliance), MAAWG (Messaging Anti-Abuse Working Group), and EEC (Email Experience Council).

Bounce Management
We don't just analyze your bouncebacks to clean your list—our abuse monitoring system detects potential delivery issues by actively scanning bounce logs for cryptic messages from spam filters and email servers.

Authentication
Large corporations and financial institutions use authentication to prove their emails aren’t forgeries, so they don't get blocked by overly suspicious filters. MailChimp supports DKIM, SenderID, SPF, and Domain Keys automatically and free.

ISP Feedback Loops
We're registered with all the major ISPs to receive alerts whenever your recipients report your campaigns as junk or spam. These alerts that we receive are part of what's called feedback loops. When that happens, we instantly unsubscribe those members from your list in order to keep you (and MailChimp) from being blocked in the future. We're on feedback loops with AOL, Hotmail, Comcast, Yahoo, USA.net, Cox, Earthlink and more.

E-Commerce
E-commerce store owners who use Shopify will love the new Chimpified plugin, because you can create campaigns with items from your store in just a few clicks (among other enhancements).

Translations
Custom language translations for the entire opt-in process: In 2009, we launched human translated versions of our sign-up process in a few dozen languages. Naturally, the translations weren’t perfect for everybody. So we’ve opened up the forms so that you can translate them manually. Every single step is now fully customizable so you can get things just the way you want.

Mobile
Send campaigns from mobile devices (or from any email app) with Email Beamer, a private email address that we provide w/every MailChimp list. We just made it so that you don’t have to sign in to MailChimp to complete the delivery process (simply reply to a confirmation email we send you) and we made it easier to tweak your beamed campaign inside MailChimp. Yay! Build your emails in Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, or on your iPad, then beam them to your MailChimp list!

Verified Domains
In the past, you could send an email campaign and use any reply-to address you wanted. This was handy for agencies sending emails on behalf of multiple clients. Unfortunately, it’s also handy for spammers who want to send phishing scams. So if you try to send a campaign using a reply-to address that’s not your domain name, we’ll require that you verify access to that domain by sending you a confirmation email.

Slightly Less Automatic Mobile Formatting
Way back in 2008, we launched a pretty cool feature that detected when your readers were visiting your campaign archive from a mobile device, and we automatically re-formatted your email to be more mobile browser friendly. Over the past couple years though, more and more people have started using smart phones with big screens and proper web page rendering that don’t need any of this auto-formatting. So from now on, when a mobile user visits your campaign archive, we’ll provide a link that gives them the option to “view mobile version.”

Reports enhancements
We’ve made a few enhancements to reports, such as the ability to drill down and see more detailed list growth stats, and making them more iPad friendly.

Manage Subscribers
Setup as many different subscriber lists as you want, and we’ll automatically take care of your sign-ups, un-subscribes, and bounce-back cleaning. 

List Dashboard
Monitor your list’s health with our dashboard, which includes a bird’s-eye view of your subscribers, a growth chart, engagement score and average open, click and bounce rates. We’ll even give you social stats and top locations, and show you which email programs your subscribers use so you can tailor your campaigns accordingly.

Keychain Management
If you manage lots of MailChimp accounts for different clients, keeping track of logins and passwords can be a hassle. We’ll give you a keychain for all those account logins, so you can access any account with one click.

Full Featured API
Our advanced API lets you connect and sync your own databases and applications with your MailChimp account. You can even use it to integrate some of MailChimp's powerful features directly into your own app.

Autoresponders
Save time by setting up a series of automated messages— like welcome emails, birthday and anniversary greetings and event alerts—that go out on a specific day or when someone subscribes to your list.

Bulk Unsubscribe Process
Remove large groups of email addresses from your list all at once. This comes in handy for corporations that keep “do not email” and suppression lists.

Groups
Groups give you a powerful way to target your subscribers based on their preferences. If you allow people to join groups when they sign up for your list, then everyone’s going to be interested in the newsletters they receive. You can even import directly into specific groups and hide top-secret groups that you don’t want subscribers to see.

Double opt-in process
MailChimp uses the double opt-in process for our built-in list-management system. Double opt-in helps us maintain clean and spam-free lists, because that means better deliverability for everyone—not to mention happy subscribers. If you already have a permission-based email list, you won’t have to reconfirm the list upon import.

Subscriber preference center
Your subscribers can change their own email address, contact information and interests in your records, so you don’t have to process every little request. You can even customize your preference center to match your company’s look and feel.

Signup Forms for Your Website
Every list you create gets its own signup form that you can customize to match your website’s branding. Signup forms are available in more than 30 languages.

Infinitely Many Lists
Set up as many lists as you want for customer newsletters, internal newsletters to employees, e-coupons, events, different retail locations, you name it.

Unsubscribe Links
We add a one-click unsubscribe link to every campaign, so your recipients can instantly remove themselves from your list.

List Management
We take care of opt-ins, unsubscribes, and bounce cleaning for our users, so you’ll always be in compliance with spam laws and email-marketing best practices.

Tracking and Reports
Instant reports tell you how effective your campaigns are. We’ll show you who opened, who clicked, how much people spent, overall campaign ROI, and more.

Interactive Graphs
Our compelling graphs and reports show you how many emails were delivered, how many people opened your email, what percentage clicked and more.

Open Tracking
Track how many people opened your emails, and use our charts to see your open rate over time.

Click Overlays
See where everyone’s clicking within your campaign.

Bounces
Find out which email addresses bounced and why they bounced. We’ll automatically determine if we should retry or permanently clean them from your list.

Unsubscribes
We’ll tell you who unsubscribed from your list, and we’ll keep track of them so you can’t accidentally add them to your list later.

See How You Compare
Find out how you compare to other MailChimp users in your industry.

Subscriber Activity Reports
See a real-time report for every subscriber’s email activities: when they opened, what they clicked, and when they came back. You can even generate a list of people who did not open, and send them a modified campaign.

Google Analytics Tracking
Check a box, and MailChimp will add tracking code to your email campaign links so you can see exactly how many visits, conversions, and sales were generated from your email campaign. And it’s all summed up succinctly in your Google Analytics reports. If you want, we’ll even complete the circle by pulling this data from Google Analytics and inserting it right back into your email campaign reports, so you can instantly see the ROI of your campaigns.

Download to Excel
Reports are downloadable in Microsoft Excel format—we don’t hold your data hostage at MailChimp.

Google Analytics Integration
Mash your Google Analytics stats with your MailChimp reports, and see instant ROI results for every email campaign you send.

A/B Split Testing
Instead of guessing which subject line, from name, day of send or time of send works, run automatic tests with MailChimp. We’ll perform the test, choose a winner and send your campaign accordingly.

Rebrandable Campaign Reports
If you need to give someone access to a campaign report but don’t want them to have access to your MailChimp account, then set up a totally rebrandable reports page for your clients or co-workers.

Twitter Tracking
We’ve enhanced our Twitter integration by tracking all tweets and re-tweets about your MailChimp campaigns, so you can see just how popular your content is.

GeoMaps
Where in the world are your fans? Our GeoMaps show you where all those opens and clicks are coming from.

Comments and Sentiment Analysis
Allow readers to comment on your campaign archives so your email marketing doesn’t have to be a one-way conversation. We’ll even analyze their sentiment for you.

Social Stats
Watch your campaigns make their way around the internet. We’ll tell you how many people are tweeting your campaigns and liking them on Facebook.

Data Security & Privacy
The security of your data and privacy is extremely important to us, so we’ve invested heavily in technology, data storage, backups, and independent privacy monitoring services.

Data Security
All private information such as account passwords are encrypted. Our own staff can’t even view them. If you lose your password, it can’t be retrieved - it must be reset. All login pages are 128-bit secure and account data is mirrored and backed up regularly off site.

Data Center
MailChimp uses a world-class data center that manages our servers 24/7, has redundant power supplies, redundant cooling systems, and redundant networks. They employ card key and biometric security procedures, and guarantee 100% network up-time.

We Invest In Your Privacy
MailChimp employs a full time Legal & Privacy Officer who works with our developers to make sure all our features comply with applicable international spam and privacy laws. Our privacy policy is monitored by TRUSTe and is EU SafeHarbor compliant.

Service & Support
MailChimp is so easy to use, you probably won’t need to ask us for any help. But just in case you need it, we provide the following resources:

Live Support
Our friendly, human staff is available if you have questions or need help along the way. Use live chat or email (M-F, 9-5 EST).

Webinars
Log on to our free weekly webinars — they’ll get you up and running fast. Every week we run through the basics and end with a Q&A session.

Demo Videos
We’ve embedded quick, helpful demo videos throughout our application. If you stumble upon something you don’t understand, just click on the video icon for a simple explanation.

API Support
At MailChimp, our API is not an afterthought. We have a dedicated team who focuses strictly on the API and keeping it up to date with the MailChimp application. In fact, there’s a community of developers out there who use the Mailchimp API to build plugins and integrations with other applications, like WordPress, MySpace, Ning, and OpenSocial.

Knowledge Base
We’ve compiled a database of searchable help that’s actually useful, constantly updated, and available 24/7.

IP Address Ranges
MailChimp uses hundreds of IP addresses located in multiple data centers to protect our deliverability. These IPs are grouped into different reputation levels based on list-member activity. We regularly monitor our IP acceptance rates using ReturnPath a leading third-party deliverability vendor, and depending on which group of IPs an email is sent from, inbox acceptance rates range from 96% to 99%.

Whitelists
Even though most ISPs are transitioning to feedback loops, some still employ whitelists. MailChimp is registered with them and actively works to maintain our whitelisted status.

Omnivore
Our powerful abuse-detection technology keeps our system clean by predicting bad behavior in a campaign before it even gets out the door. Omnivore is always at work in the background, analyzing emails, absorbing new data and preventing abuse on a massive scale.
