We just added automatic language detection to all signup forms.
When activated, it detects the preferred language setting in a visitor’s web browser, then automatically translates your signup form to match (plus your thank you screens, your welcome emails, forward-to-friend pages, etc).

We just added the ability to segment based on subscriber engagement:
So now you can send a special campaign to your most loyal customers. Or, send a “come-back” campaign to the inactive members on your list before you clean them out.
Here’s why this feature is so important.

MailChimp is chock full of social features and integrations to make it easier to share with your network. And according to industry benchmark studies, social share links increase both the reach and the click rate of email campaigns. If you’re not using these features yet, you might want to consider checking them out.
We’ve made it super simple to connect MailChimp with Twitter, allowing you to automatically tweet a link to your campaign as soon as you hit the send button. Just go to your Account settings, and click on Integrations. Under Twitter, just click the big authorize connection button and oAuth will take it from there. This is a safer and better way of integrating with Twitter because it means you no longer have to enter your Twitter username and password directly into MailChimp.

MailChimp’s RSS-to-email tool is an awesome feature that helps you automate your email marketing. Every time you post something to your blog (or anything that generates an RSS feed, like ecommerce stores), and MailChimp will automatically send an email to your subscribers.
We just made this feature even more awesome by adding more scheduling options…

One of the things that makes MailChimp special is that we try to make email marketing a little fun. It’s been a secret to our success, really.
(Queue the dark clouds and thunder sound effects)
But some people want MailChimp’s power without all the jokes (some people like the jokes, but their clients don’t).
So we launched a new feature: Party-pooper mode…

I was working on a MailChimp email campaign, and wanted to spruce up my header a little bit for Halloween. However, I don’t have Photoshop on my laptop (even if I did, I’m too lazy to wait for it to boot up).
This is where our integration with Picnik comes in really handy:

I just stumbled upon this nice Halloween email campaign from Block Club, a graphic design firm in Buffalo NY.
MailChimp comes with all kinds of powerful, easy-to-use, and free email template tools that make email design easy.
But Block Club is a graphic and web design firm, and this is a “design tips & tricks” publication.
So their emails have got to look really nice and custom-made.
I noticed a few “power tricks” in their email template, and asked them if I could showcase them here…

From time to time, we like to showcase a MailChimp customer’s email campaign. I just came across this email from Metal Clay Guru, and wanted to point out some nice things about their design…
