MailChimp’s Social Features

Monday, October 26th, 2009

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.

One-click Social Share

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 MySpace App

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

If you’ve got a MySpace page with a lot of fans, and you want to start collecting email subscribers, we’ve got a little drop-in app that adds a signup form to your MySpace page:

It basically links over to your MailChimp list, so that you can send them email newsletters. What’s really cool is that if your list isn’t ginormous (yet) you can use this with a MailChimp Free plan. Perfect for local bands and starving artists!
