Insights you can act on—instantly

This isn’t your average dashboard. Every section is clickable, so you can instantly launch campaigns based on what you learn from your data. And when you start every campaign with your contacts’ interests in mind, it’s easier to create marketing that matters to your people.

Your contact data is one of the most important tools you have as a marketer, and when you store it in Mailchimp, your audience dashboard will help you understand it holistically. Spot patterns in your data at a glance, keep tabs on trends, and always know who you’re talking to—even as your audience evolves.

If you have a paid account with a connected store and purchase data, your audience dashboard will also show an estimate of your customers’ lifetime value (CLV) and their likelihood to purchase again.

We use predictive modeling to learn from your purchase data and create segments of customers based on how likely they are to purchase from you again, and how much they’re likely to spend in your store in the future—so you can use these insights to reward VIPs, or bring occasional buyers back.
