Course Overview
MailChimp packs in a lot of capabilities and is one of the best value email marketing solutions around, offering more for the price point than many other solutions. However, getting the best out of MailChimp requires an understanding of its interface, features, as well as standard and advanced settings.
This hands-on MailChimp training course is all about learning to get the most out of the platform. If you're new to MailChimp, or you've been using it in a limited way and need to further explore its options, then this course is for you. You'll walk away with more confidence using the software, and in turn learn ways to improve your email marketing activity and performance.
Bring a laptop and your MailChimp login (they're free to set up if you haven't done so), and you'll be using MailChimp like a pro in no time.
