FAQs

  • How do I create a Customer Journey in Mailchimp?

    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 homepage and select Create from scratch or use the pre-built maps available. Then, click the Start Building button.

  • How to activate a Customer Journey on Mailchimp?

    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.

  • How to build a Customer Journey map?

    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 views a page, abandons their cart, doesn’t open a campaign, or celebrates their birthday. You can also add Journey Points, which are rules and actions that prospects can go through until they become customers.

    As you create a Customer Journey map, try to identify milestones that you want shoppers to hit. The right touchpoints allow you to stay top of mind and ensure potential clients don’t stray too far from your business.

  • How to create a complete Customer Journey with automation and analytics?

    Mailchimp can help you create a Customer Journey with automation and analytics. The automation portion of our Customer Journey tool lets you send automated and personalized emails at the right time, so you don’t have to worry about sending them manually from your computer. With analytics, you can see what’s working well and identify areas of improvement, empowering you to move prospects along with data-driven decisions.

  • What is a Customer Journey mapping tool?

Doing so can help you turn prospects into customers. That said, you can also create a Customer Journey map that aligns with your marketing goals.

  • What is a Mailchimp Customer Journey?
