Why Import Your Contacts Into Mailchimp?
There are a number of good reasons to import your contacts into Mailchimp. Here are just a few:
To reach a wider audience: With Mailchimp, you can send your messages to a larger group of people with just a few clicks. This is helpful if you're trying to reach out to new potential customers or grow your list of subscribers.
To save time: Mailchimp's automation features can save you a lot of time when it comes to keeping in touch with your contacts. For example, you can set up automated welcome emails or birthday messages. This way, you can focus on other aspects of running your business without having to worry about manually sending out messages to your contacts.
To segment your contacts: Segmenting your contacts allows you to send more targeted and relevant messages. This is because you can segment contacts based on their interests, location, or other factors. As a result, your contacts are more likely to engage with the messages they receive from you.
To keep track of your contacts: With Mailchimp, you can easily keep track of your contacts' information in one central place. This is helpful for follow-ups or future marketing campaigns. Additionally, it allows you to quickly reference any contact's information if you need to get in touch with them.
To improve deliverability: By importing your contacts into Mailchimp, you can improve the deliverability of your messages. This is because Mailchimp uses its own DNS servers which are known for being reliable. Additionally, importing your contacts also helps to reduce the chances of getting marked as spam by ISPs (Internet Service Providers).

Tips For Importing And Exporting Contacts
Mailchimp is a popular email marketing platform, but it can be tricky to import contacts into the system. Here are seven tips to make the process go smoothly:
Start by exporting your contacts from your current system as a CSV file. This will ensure that all the data is in a compatible format.
Make sure that the CSV file includes columns for all the relevant information, such as name, email address, and physical address.

Once you're satisfied with your contact list, you can start creating campaigns and sending emails.
And finally, don't forget to periodically export your contacts from Mailchimp as a CSV file. This will ensure that you have a backup of your data in case anything happens to your account.
