Exciting updates coming to your Mailchimp account

You may know and love us for email, and we've celebrated every send, open, and click with you. And now we've outgrown our name.

What's new in Mailchimp?

Mailchimp is launching an all-in-one Marketing Platform for your growing business. Mailchimp's platform provides you with what you need to integrate your marketing efforts. It has a powerful Marketing CRM to help you get to know your customers better, multiple channels to help you get the word out, and AI-powered insights and analytics to help you know what's working. We're also introducing new features like Social Posting, more retargeting options for Instagram and Facebook, and an Audience Dashboard for easy segmenting, to name a few. From postcards to digital ads to landing pages, there are so many opportunities for you to create effective multichannel campaigns that connect with your audience so you can grow faster.

What's new in the free plan?

With so many new channels to put to work for your business, our definition of "audience" is changing to include all of the contacts you can market to regardless of their email opt-in/subscriber status. So that happy customer that's been on your subscriber list for 2 years? They'll still be a part of your audience. But those customers that unsubscribed and that customer that attended your event but never opted in to your newsletter? They'll be in your audience now too.

These new channels allow you to leverage your entire audience, so you can encourage new engagement with your brand. It's much more expensive to find new customers than to keep existing ones, so be sure to market to the audience you've worked so hard to build.

What does this mean for you?

As we've grown beyond email to be an all-in-one Marketing Platform, we've created new plans to include all of our new features and capabilities. As a current user of our Forever Free plan, you'll now be in the new Free plan as long as your audience size is 2,000 contacts or less. The new pricing structure is based upon the total number of contacts you can market to, which now includes unsubscribes and customers who have simply not opted-in yet. You can check your Mailchimp account to see how many contacts are in your total audience. And keep in mind, you can always archive contacts you aren't using. On June 15, 2019, the pricing change will go into effect if you have more than 2,000 contacts.

Plus, if you'd like to upgrade to a paid plan and get access to all of the features in our new plans like removing Mailchimp branding, using retargeting ads, or getting access to 24x7 support, check out mailchimp.com tomorrow for all the new plans to see what best fits your needs.

Let's grow!

We're so excited for you to have all of your marketing in one place. From creating multichannel campaigns to automating your workflows, we built this tool with you in mind. With our user-friendly interface and comprehensive support articles to help every step of the way, we hope you'll love everything Mailchimp's Marketing Platform can do for you. To learn more about where we're headed, read this article from our CEO, Ben Chestnut. Together, let's reimagine how Mailchimp empowers your business to grow.

Your personal Google+ account is going away on April 2, 2019

You've received this email because you have a consumer (personal) Google+ account or you manage a Google+ page.

In December 2018, we announced our decision to shut down Google+ for consumers in April 2019 due to low usage and challenges involved in maintaining a successful product that meets consumers' expectations. We want to thank you for being part of Google+ and provide next steps, including how to download your photos and other content.

On April 2nd, your Google+ account and any Google+ pages you created will be shut down and we will begin deleting content from consumer Google+ accounts. Photos and videos from Google+ in your Album Archive and your Google+ pages will also be deleted. You can download and save your content, just make sure to do so before April. Note that photos and videos backed up in Google Photos will not be deleted.

The process of deleting content from consumer Google+ accounts, Google+ Pages, and Album Archive will take a few months, and content may remain through this time. For example, users may still see parts of their Google+ account via activity log and some consumer Google+ content may remain visible to G Suite users until consumer Google+ is deleted.

As early as February 4th, you will no longer be able to create new Google+ profiles, pages, communities or events.

See the full FAQ for more details and updates leading up to the shutdown.

If you're a Google+ Community owner or moderator, you may download and save your data for your Google+ Community. Starting early March 2019, additional data will be available for download, including author, body, and photos for every community post in a public community. Learn more

If you sign in to sites and apps using the Google+ Sign-in button, these buttons will stop working in the coming weeks but in some cases may be replaced by a Google Sign-in button. You'll still be able to sign in with your Google Account wherever you see Google Sign-in buttons. Learn more

If you've used Google+ for comments on your own or other sites, this feature will be removed from Blogger by February 4th and other sites by March 7th. All your Google+ comments on all sites will be deleted starting April 2, 2019. Learn more

If you're a G Suite customer, Google+ for your G Suite account should remain active. Contact your G Suite administrator for more details. You can also expect a new look and new features soon. Learn more

If you're a developer using Google+ APIs or Google+ Sign-in, click here to see how this will impact you.

From all of us on the Google+ team, thank you for making Google+ such a special place. We are grateful for the talented group of artists, community builders, and thought leaders who made Google+ their home. It would not have been the same without your passion and dedication.

You have received this mandatory email service announcement to update you about important changes to your Google+ Page, product or account.

Do more in 2019 with these new features

Make this your biggest year yet

2018 was a big year here at Mailchimp. We released new products like customer relationship management (CRM) tools, shoppable landing pages, and printed postcards. We grew a lot. So much, in fact, that we outgrew our name.

Now we do more than email, so you can do more with your marketing. We rounded up last year's best new features to help you do just that in 2019.

CRM tools to help you market smarter

One of the smartest ways to use Mailchimp is for customer relationship management. This means that you put your audience data to work, so that you can market more effectively.

Mailchimp can suit the CRM needs for all kinds of businesses. And it can be simple. Once you've imported your contact data, you can segment and tag your audience based on your needs. Then you can set up automated messages to trigger from the segments and tags. And using your reports, you can find new patterns in your data and send even better emails.

Sell right from your landing pages

With our beautiful templates and easy-to-use builder, you can create a shoppable landing page in minutes. Whether you're selling online for the first time or just looking to add another sales channel to the mix, landing pages are a valuable, versatile tool. Simply connect Square payments to your Mailchimp account, and you can sell an item directly from your landing pages—no e-commerce store required.

Stand out with postcards—no mailing addresses needed

With the launch of postcards, you can expand your marketing beyond digital. This modern twist on a classic channel really works, too—according to a study conducted by the U.S. Postal Service, 86% of people say they take the time to look through their mail.

We make it easy for you to print, stamp, and mail postcards around the world for as little as 75 cents a card. If you don't have all the information you need to send a postcard, our address finder tool will help you fill in the gaps.

Keep track of your campaigns from anywhere

The beginning of the year is a busy time, and with our mobile app you can keep things moving while you're on the run. It's easier than ever to view important stats from your recent and ongoing campaigns as soon as you log in. You can do more stuff in the app, too—like organizing your audience with tags or sending a series of welcome emails with a 1-click mobile automation.
