To anyone who's used Mailchimp:
About how many hours do you think it takes to set up an account for a client (without any list entry) and create a respectable, simple newsletter template?
Am I looking at considerably more than 6 hours?
xo,

Probably... I would say at least a day for the whole process.

6 hours to set up an account sounds extremely long. i am sure the chimp is faster. no offense.

Yeah, but you'll be designing or at least adapting one of the templates right?

bill it minimum 1 day's work.. don't shoot yourself on this
- clearThoughts0
Then you'll be testing it... then the client will like some retarded change... and so on...

Yeah, I'd pass in at least one day work.
If you have to design and code their Newsletter template, probably even more.

oh no...concepts before?

Yep, account setup and design. A day's work sounds right. Thanks, all.

Newsletters are a pain to test as well. It's all fine until you open it up in Outlook or a Crackberry.

8 hours minimum. It sounds easy, but with email marketing there are a lot of little things to do that add up.
Design, coding, TESTING, plain text version, account information (subject line, from address, from name, etc...), and so on....
For me it's one of those projects that always seem easy, then 12 hours later you wonder where your day went. :p

Mailchimp can withhold the campaign when they're not sure you got your address list through opt-ins, preferably on the same domain.
My client had that problem, they wouldn't let him send his website users a newsletter with a new unrelated service information, from the new domain.

it took me about 3 nights to get it figured out. i found the easiest way is to make a webpage then link to it vs trying to design it in mailchimp. Send tests to yourself within the program to test it.
