Review of Mailchimp Email Template Builder

Modern Marketing tendencies require custom emails, but in Mailchimp template builder you will need to work with HTML codes to create a custom message.

Difficulties you face when working with Mailchimp Template Builder:

• Impossible to save separate blocks;
• You cannot place text over images without using an outside photo editor;
• Low number of decorative fonts;
• No smart element to save you time, when you need to promote a big number of products;
• One button per line. Sometimes you need two or more buttons a line when promoting a wide range of goods in your message;
• Undo Option doesn’t cancel all kinds of previous actions. It works for colors and some other not so important features;
• In order to make your emails render correctly both on desktop and mobile devices, you will need deep knowledge of HTML code.

The example shows the way your message will be displayed on mobile devices without responsive design option. You will need to horizontally scroll. Pretty inconvenient and irritating.

Considering all above, we can make a conclusion that if you plan to make a simple message or you are good at HMTL codes, only then Mailchimp Editor will be enough. But if you want to create a killer, custom newsletter without any efforts, Stripo will help you!
