FAQs

Whether a potential shopper is at the beginning of their buying journey or has reached the checkout process, a Customer Journey Builder can help you land the sale. Mailchimp’s Customer Journey Builder empowers you to create and automate a workflow that’s tailored to your business. To start, make sure you have access to our Customer Journey tools under your current plan.
Navigate to the Customer Journeys overview page and select Create Journey or use the pre-built maps available. -
You can activate a Customer Journey on Mailchimp by clicking the Continue button once your Customer Journey map is good to go. From there, you can select a marketing objective and push Turn On. Marketing objectives basically help us ensure you receive recommendations and reports that are specific to your goals. If your objectives change later as your business grows, you can always update them.
Once the Customer Journey is activated, users will be funneled into the map as certain conditions are met. -
To build an effective Customer Journey map, it’s a good idea to first choose a Starting Point. A Starting Point is an activity that kicks off the Customer Journey. A Starting Point can occur when a user abandons their cart, doesn’t open a campaign, or celebrates their birthday. You can also add Journey Points, which are rules and actions that determine the pace and path that contacts take in a Customer Journey map.
As you create a Customer Journey map, try to identify milestones that you want shoppers to hit. The right journey points allow you to stay top of mind and ensure potential clients don’t stray too far from your business. -
A Customer Journey map helps you visualize the different paths a contact can take. The end goal of many Customer Journeys is to remain top of mind as contacts are funneled through the map. Doing so can help you turn contacts into customers. That said, you can also create a Customer Journey map that aligns with your marketing goals.
-
A Mailchimp Customer Journey is a tool that Mailchimp users can leverage to meet their marketing objectives. You’ll find Pre-Built Journeys that can kickstart the mapping process. Plus, Pre-Built Journeys are also customizable, so you can ensure every step is tailored to your business and customers. You can also build a Customer Journey map from scratch.
