Marketing options can be overwhelming. MailChimp offers a user-friendly, free way to engage and grow your digital community – whether you are an exhibiting artist, own an e-commerce store, or have a non-profit. Email marketing is a great option for those with both huge and non-existent marketing budgets. Whereas social media marketing relies on capturing the attention of strangers, email marketing allows you to talk directly to people who already want to hear from you. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to set up a free MailChimp account, create and embed email signup forms to grow your audience, create an email campaign and integrate social media marketing with your MailChimp account. Bring a wi-fi enabled laptop and any existing email lists you may have already collected.
