What is email marketing?

Email Marketing is… Well… Marketing to potential customers using email! As your business ages and you collect more leads (and emails) via your website, they can be added to an Email List. You can then tap into this Email List using MailChimp!

Here are the two most common uses of Email Marketing:

  • Sending a monthly or quarterly newsletter
  • Offering a limited-time discount on a service
Overall, leveraging Email Marketing in your handyman business helps you stay top-of-mind to past customers and leads. It’s effective because they’ve already indicated interest in your service, which automatically qualifies them as your ideal customer.

So, how does this "integration" work?

When a visitor fills out an Estimate Request Form, their email will automatically be captured and added to your email list within MailChimp. This also gives us the ability to add email capture (via popup or signup form) strictly for visitors that want to stay in touch, but don’t need an estimate at that time – offering a 10% for first-time customers, or something like that, is perfect for this!

Cool, how do i get setup?

First, you’ll need to create a MailChimp account – https://mailchimp.com/signup/

Next, you’ll need to generate an “API” key and send that to us. We embed this within the website forms to connect them with your email list. Here’s how you do that:

Step 1.

Within your dashboard: hover over your account name in the upper-right, then click “Account”
