“We’re on a mission
to make Mailchimp
the only place where
marketers can
effortlessly create
content optimized for
their brand, their
marketing channels,
their objectives, and
every member of their
audience,” said Rania
Succar, CEO at
Mailchimp. “AI and
text generation tools
like ChatGPT have
received a lot of
attention recently,
and for good reason.
We see this as a
supportive technology
for marketers, and we want to provide them with approachable ways to use AI so that they
can automate, generate, and optimize content to save time and trust that what we’re serving
them is tailored to help them reach their goals.”
Democratizing AI for Marketers
Over the last several years, Mailchimp has incorporated AI and machine learning capabilities
into its platform to help marketers and small businesses market better and faster. Mailchimp
made strategic acquisitions to bring AI technology into its email marketing platform, starting
with Sawa in 2019 and Inspector 6 in 2020.
Mailchimp became part of Intuit’s AI-driven expert platform after the acquisition in 2021, and
now has access to even more sophisticated data and tools that help the email marketing
platform solve its customers’ biggest challenges with AI. Intuit has been driving AI innovation
to help its customers solve their most important problems, accelerating personalized AI at
scale for more than 100 million consumer and small business customers.
Mailchimp currently has 20+ AI and data science features in-app—such as Creative
Assistant, Content Optimizer, Send-Day and Send-Time Optimization, Predictive
Segmentation, and Product Recommendations —designed to help marketers and small
business owners save time, send more effective marketing campaigns, and get smarter with
their marketing decisions. In 2022 alone, Mailchimp generated more than 8 million data-
backed recommendations with our AI-powered features.**
“Marketers and small businesses are spending a lot of time thinking about how they can
apply AI without adding something new to their plates or relinquishing creative control,” said
Jon Fasoli, Chief Data and Product Officer at Mailchimp. “We see generative AI
fundamentally changing the landscape of creative work, and we’re here to help our
customers apply it to their day-to-day marketing in meaningful ways so that they get more
done and reach their goals faster. Email Content Generator and our AI-powered features can
help them do just that.”
More about Email Content Generator and Mailchimp’s AI Features
Mailchimp users can generate content with AI to design on-brand marketing content faster,
get copy ideas and inspiration, and test variants to deliver more personalized and engaging
content to their customers. With the help of Email Content Generator, marketers can take
content that GPT AI technology recommends for them and then customize that content to
create highly personalized email marketing campaigns tailored to their brand, tone, and
marketing intent, making email campaigns feel more authentic and relevant to their
customers.
When creating an email campaign in Mailchimp’s new email editor tool, our customers can
see three options of copy that match their industry, marketing intent, and tone of voice.
Mailchimp customers can give a natural language prompt like, “write an email about our new
product launch and offer 15% off orders today only,” and Email Content Generator will create
three options that are even more targeted to the goal of their email campaign. Users can
select an option generated for them that works best to drag and drop into their campaign,
customize, and send to help them reach their audience and sell more.
Mailchimp’s content generation and optimization tools don’t just serve up content—they also
break down why a campaign performs the way it did, with detailed insights and suggestions,
and share recommendations for how to improve those campaigns and content. Small
businesses and marketers can take advantage of Mailchimp’s data, which includes their
specific industry’s data, to benchmark their marketing efforts across their industry and find
the best day(s) and time(s) to send marketing campaigns to engage their customers.
Mailchimp uses a mix of in-house built models and third-party AI products to power its AI
tools. Mailchimp is leveraging Intuit’s AI infrastructure which allows technologists across the
company to “democratize” AI and build AI capabilities into Intuit products at scale for
customers, resulting in 58 billion machine learning predictions per day and 730 million AI-
driven customer help interactions per year across Intuit.
Email Content Generator is the latest addition to Mailchimp’s AI toolkit for marketers, along
with features like:
Send Day and Send Time Optimization - Send Day Optimization takes the date
range for a campaign (within Campaign Manager) and recommends the best day to
send an email within that range based on industry benchmarks. With Send Time
Optimization, Mailchimp adjusts the send time of an email to the predicted optimal time
of day to send an email campaign.
Content Optimizer - When you send email campaigns to your audience, Mailchimp
can help marketers decide how to create and design their marketing content.
Mailchimp's Content Optimizer gives additional guidance with analysis, based on
industry best practices, for readability and skimmability, calls to action, imagery, tone,
as well as errors in link formatting, merge tags, spelling, and grammar.
Creative Assistant - Creative Assistant imports marketers’ brand assets and houses
them in a brand kit, allowing them to populate their marketing with auto-generated
designs using their brand colors, fonts, logos, and images. Mailchimp uses design best
practices and AI to ensure that multichannel campaigns are both beautiful and
consistent, but let users edit, resize, and publish easily, too.
Purchase Likelihood and Customer Lifetime Value - For customers who have
integrated their e-commerce stores and/or QuickBooks Online accounts with the
Mailchimp platform, Mailchimp uses e-commerce data, like individual purchase history
and patterns, to help marketers estimate their customers’ lifetime value and likelihood
to purchase again.
Customer Journey Builder Next Action Recommendations - Customer Journey
Builder’s Next Action Recommendations help marketers analyze the behavior of
similar users to recommend steps to add to a customer journey.
Subject Line, Header, Subheader Generation, and Preview Text Generation with
GPT - These text generation tools complete the suite of email text generation products
that allow Mailchimp users to generate entire emails in only a few clicks.
Alt-text Generation - Alt-text Generator analyzes the contents of a photo and
recommends alternative text (alt-text) that describes the contents of the photo for
visually impaired people.
Stock Image Suggestion- New Mailchimp users who may not have image assets
related to their business when they first sign up will see on-brand stock image
suggestions that are surfaced based on the text they provide about their business.
Campaign Performance Benchmarking - Campaign Performance Benchmarking
groups helps marketers understand how their marketing compares to industry peers
through statistics like growth rate and open rate.
Product Recommendations – Mailchimp customers can add product
recommendation blocks to their emails based on predictions driven by prior purchase
history and email interactions.
