although the 2009 xmas season is almost over, we thought we point you to an invaluable marketing tool: mailchimp.

with relative ease mailchimp let’s you produce professional email campaigns, be it a regular newsletter or the annual seasonal greeting, for an example check out our very own 2009 xmas card.

mailchimp also provides detailed reports, including opening / click rates, geographical information and much more.

best of all mailchimp offers a free account (max. 3000 emails per month), albeit in exchange for a mailchimp banner in your campaign – which we think this is a small price to pay.

btw. if you wonder how you might get your contacts from apple’s addressbook across to mailchimp check out our tip here.
