We know that you and your subscribers use mobile devices every day, so we build our tools accordingly. MailChimp’s Mobile Lab is devoted to creating smartphone and tablet apps that make your email campaigns more effective, and we even make it easy for mobile developers to include MailChimp signup forms in their own apps.
Mobile Apps
MailChimp Mobile
See how your campaigns are performing, who’s sharing them, and how much revenue they’re generating—all from your smartphone. You can also add new subscribers and assign them to groups, directly from your phone. We’ll send you updates on campaigns in progress, and you can even use MailChimp Mobile to keep track of multiple accounts and MonkeyRewards.
Coupons are a great way to reward your loyal newsletter subscribers. Insert a QR coupon into any campaign using our Pyow! merge tag, and specify how many times the discount can be used. Then have your subscribers bring in their coupons, either printed or on their smartphones, and scan them using Pyow! for iPhone. Find out how many people used the coupon when you log in to MailChimp.
Add an extra layer of security to protect your MailChimp account or another web app from phishing attacks and breaches. AlterEgo generates temporary passcodes that are required for entry, but only accessible on mobile devices. Just log in to the app, open AlterEgo on your smartphone to generate a passcode, and enter your code to complete the secure login.
Every mailing list has some VIPs, and Golden Monkeys helps you keep track of them. Get push notifications when extra–special subscribers open and click your emails, and search by location, engagement, and purchase activity.
If you collect email addresses at cash registers or events, Chimpadeedoo can make that process easier for you and your customers. Allow people to subscribe to your newsletter using a simple signup form on your iPad, and Chimpadeedoo will store the email addresses locally and sync up with MailChimp whenever you get online. Add a logo and customize your signup form, so it fits your brand’s look and feel.
Unfurlr uses MailChimp's abuse data to discover what's hiding behind a QR code or shortened URL. If you encounter a suspicious link on your mobile device, share it with Unfurlr to quickly find out whether it's dangerous or safe to click.
MailChimp’s signup forms auto-zoom on iPhone and Android, eliminating pesky scrolling.
QR Coupon Codes
Add a QR coupon code to your campaign and your subscribers can bring their mobile device or a printed version of the coupon to redeem it. Then use Pyow! to scan and track coupon redemption.
Mobile Templates and Media Query Support
MailChimp’s mobile templates make your newsletters extra friendly for people reading on mobile devices. And if you’re HTML and CSS-savvy, you can use media queries to add mobile-specific styling to your existing templates.
Free Inbox Inspections
Monthly MailChimp subscribers can run free, unlimited Inbox Inspections to make sure their campaigns will look great in readers’ inboxes. Test more than 34 email clients, including iPhone, iPad, Android, BlackBerry, and Symbian.
