Private Mailchimp Training Course for Teams

Private Mailchimp training built around your organisation

Mailchimp can be quick to start using, but accounts often become harder to manage as contacts, tags, templates, forms and automations accumulate.

This private Mailchimp course is built around the way your organisation actually uses the platform. I can review your existing setup, identify what needs improving and concentrate on the tools and techniques that will make the greatest difference to your campaigns.

The training can be adapted for beginners, experienced users, marketing teams, charities and ecommerce businesses and combines practical Mailchimp training with the email marketing strategy your team needs to plan, create and improve its campaigns

You will not be sitting through a generic public course with people from unrelated organisations. The session is focused on your goals, your questions and the work you need to do after the training.

By the end of the session, your team will understand how to organise your Mailchimp account, create more relevant campaigns, use automation effectively and measure the results of your email marketing.

What the Mailchimp training course covers

This private Mailchimp training course takes your team through the complete process of planning, creating and improving email marketing campaigns.

The course follows a clear structure, but the examples and time spent on each topic can be adapted to your organisation. Mailchimp changes regularly, so the techniques and demonstrations reflect the current version of the platform.

Email marketing strategy and planning

Understand where email fits within your wider marketing activity and decide what your campaigns need to achieve. Your team will learn how to set useful goals, plan content and develop a more consistent approach to email marketing.

GDPR, consent and subscriber preferences

Learn how Mailchimp helps you manage consent, double opt-in and subscriber preferences. We’ll look at practical ways to collect and manage contact information while giving subscribers appropriate control over the emails they receive.

Growing your mailing list

Explore practical ways to attract the right subscribers rather than simply collecting as many email addresses as possible. We’ll look at sign-up incentives, gated content and how to collect information that can support future segmentation.

Mailchimp audiences and contact management

Understand how Mailchimp stores and organises contact data. Your team will learn how to import, update and archive contacts, manage audience fields and avoid common problems caused by poorly organised data.

Mailchimp sign-up and pop-up forms

Create and customise Mailchimp forms that can be added to your website. We’ll look at embedded forms, pop-up forms and the information you should ask new subscribers to provide.

Tags, groups and segments

Learn the differences between tags, groups and segments and when each should be used. Your team will be able to organise contacts more effectively and send campaigns to the people most likely to find them relevant.

Surveys and landing pages

Use Mailchimp surveys and landing pages to collect information, promote campaigns and grow your audience. We’ll also look at how responses and sign-ups can be used to tag contacts, create useful segments and trigger automations.

Email copy and content

Improve subject lines, preview text, email structure and calls to action. Your team will examine examples of effective email content and learn how to make campaigns clearer, more relevant and easier to act upon.

Using AI in Mailchimp campaigns

Use tools such as ChatGPT to generate subject-line ideas, explore campaign themes and create first drafts. We’ll also look at how to review and improve AI-generated content so it remains accurate and consistent with your organisation’s tone of voice.

Templates and the Mailchimp email builder

Use Mailchimp’s email builder to create professional, mobile-friendly campaigns. Your team will learn how to create reusable templates, apply consistent branding and build emails that can be updated efficiently.

Creating, testing and sending campaigns

Work through the complete process of building and sending a Mailchimp campaign. This includes selecting recipients, adding personalisation, previewing emails, checking links, scheduling campaigns and completing final checks before sending.

A/B testing

Learn how Mailchimp testing can help improve campaign performance. We’ll look at testing subject lines, content and other campaign choices so your team can make better decisions based on audience behaviour.

Mailchimp automation flows

Create automated campaigns using triggers, delays, rules and actions. Depending on your requirements, this can include welcome emails, follow-up sequences, lead-nurture campaigns and other useful automated communications.

Tracking and reporting

Understand Mailchimp campaign reports and decide which measurements are most useful to your organisation. Your team will learn how to examine clicks, engagement and conversions, use Google Analytics 4 tracking and apply the findings to future campaigns.

Ecommerce email marketing

For ecommerce teams, the course can also include purchase-based segmentation, abandoned basket emails, product recommendations, customer follow-ups and other automated campaigns connected to your online store.

FAQs

Is this Mailchimp course suitable for beginners?

Yes. The session can start with the fundamentals or concentrate on more advanced areas if your team already uses Mailchimp. We can talk about your current experience and priorities before booking the session.

Can the training be tailored to our Mailchimp account?

Yes. This is private training, so we can concentrate on your account structure, campaigns, audiences, forms and automation requirements rather than following a fixed public-course agenda.

Can we work in our own Mailchimp account during the session?

Where appropriate, we can use your account and real examples during the training. This helps your team apply what they learn and identify improvements that can be made immediately.

What should we send before the training session?

I’ll ask for a short outline of how you currently use Mailchimp, what you want to improve and any particular problems or campaigns you would like to discuss.

Do we need a particular Mailchimp plan?

No particular plan is required for the general training, although some automation, testing and reporting features depend on your Mailchimp subscription. Let me know which plan you use and I’ll tailor the session accordingly.

Can the training cover GDPR?

We can look at the practical Mailchimp settings involved in consent, subscriber preferences and managing contact data. The session provides operational guidance rather than legal advice.
