Power To The People
Howdy folks, lots of news to share. The biggest news, in case you haven't heard, is that we recently announced our "Forever Free" plan, where our users can signup with 500 subscribers and send up to 3,000 emails a month. You still get full access to our amazing, head-sploding features (and even our world-famous power features), so long as your list is under 500 subscribers.

This is something we've been prepping for all summer, and as we got closer to launch, our internal DesignLabTM created some awesome propaganda to cover the walls of our headquarters.

Then to celebrate, we had an all-company launch party at Octane Coffee.

User Interface Dude Aarron Walter Travels to Spain & Portugal
 Aarron Walter

In late September, Lead User Interface Guru Aarron Walter traveled to Spain and Portugal. In Madrid he spoke about Publishing Findable Content, and the slides from his talk are available online.

He was also interviewed by a newspaper in Madrid about web standards and usability and the Google translation is worth checking out solely because it's hilarious.

Visit from Batchbook President
Back in late July, I finally got to meet Pam O'Hara, President of BatchBlue software. We've worked together online for a while, collaborating on Pam O'Hara at MailChimpThe Small Business Web, but never met "IRL" as the kids say. Thankfully, she stopped by while on a visit to Atlanta, and we had a great lunch where we discussed southern food, entrepreneurism, and world domination. Pam's the type of businessperson you meet and later just say, "Yeah. She gets it." To get a feel for what she and the BatchBlue team hath wrought with the Small Business Web, you really need to check out this video of how they've integrated with -- well, everything.

MailChimps at the Braves game
In September a bunch of MailChimp ninjas went to see the Atlanta Braves sock it to the NY Mets. Pretty safe to say a fun time was had by all.


Thanks,

MailChimp In The News

MailChimp T-Shirt promo
Throughout the month of September, we gave away 1,000 free MailChimp t-shirts via random announcements made through Facebook and Twitter. The response was incredible, often times with 100  t-shirts being spoken for in less than five minutes. Be sure to exercise caution when wearing one of these sweet tees at a nerdy event though. You might end up getting too much attention!

BusinessWeek Logo
Lessons From the Small Business Web-- BatchBlue and MailChimp are among a tiny but growing network of small online software vendors that have committed to letting anyone who wants to build on their tools to do so. The effort, dubbed the Small Business Web and launched at the SXSW conference in Austin, Tex., in March, aims to use open platforms to help small software-as-a-service companies compete against much larger players in the industry. The group is now 20 companies strong.

MailChimp Labs


research subject lines
Leave it to the nerds in the MailChimp Labs to come up with something as cool and useful as our new Subject Line Suggestor.

You basically enter some words or phrases that you were planning to use in your subject line, then MailChimp will compare it to all subject lines ever used in our system, their resulting open rates, and then tell you how they performed. That's powerful stuff!


Kudos for MailChimp Design

"The concept that enterprise software can't be elegant and beautiful needs to disappear forever," said Rundle. "Mailchimp and Ballpark are great examples of smaller SaaS companies with world-class interface design, and the folks designing enterprise software would be wise to learn from their examples."
