Considered Both Products
Mad Mimi
Chose Mad Mimi
Mad Mimi has way less clutter, a much simpler interface, and I just enjoy it a lot more.
Chose Mad Mimi
Mad Mimi is not as complex to use for preparing emails as some competitors like MailChimp. Mad Mimi has a lot of integration for third-party apps. Unlike MailChimp, Mad Mimi is more suitable for our e-marketing strategy. Mad Mimi does not offer free trial whereas MailChimp does …
Chose Mad Mimi
Constant Contact is the Goliath of the industry and to us, it was unnecessarily complex and expensive. We chose Mad Mimi, after looking at several other new offerings and we've been extremely satisfied with our choice of Mad Mimi.
Chose Mad Mimi
I've chosen Mad Mimi for all the reasons stated previously. It's easy to use, free (for now); has an embeddable webform, list segmentation, mobile optimization, etc. On the other hand, I'm just this close to moving to MailChimp which has more sophisticated features and built-in …
Chose Mad Mimi
When I started using Mad Mimi several years ago, it offered a decent feature set at a lower price. For my business, I switched to AWeber first and then to ActiveCampaign for more advanced e-commerce integrations. For my trade association, I recently moved to MailChimp because …
Chose Mad Mimi
Mad Mimi was the first one that we found and we liked it "out of the box." We have not had any need to look for anything else. It has always been able to handle our needs and been easy to use. We will continue to use it until we exceed its capabilities.
Chose Mad Mimi
Mad Mimi was easier to use to keep readers engaged versus using the apps available on the blog site.
Chose Mad Mimi
I don't have any valuable information for this question. I've never used another platform and I don't remember the research I did over a year ago.
Chose Mad Mimi
Mad Mimi is superior to most ESPs that I've used, although it lacks in terms of a learning library, which includes best practices, strategy, expectations, and integration. MailChimp may be a better option for those who require more options, more integration, or more information …
SafeOpt
Chose SafeOpt
We never used [any] other product for our marketing purpose. We thought of giving a try to improve our sales and increase our brand awareness. We never regret of choosing this as our priority. They always backup us with their customer support with great ideas and plans which is …

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
It's ideal for the new to email campaign/SMB user as they take great pains to ensure your campaign is ready for success. It's also ideal for those who are used to using the 'Goliaths' of email campaigns as the difference is night and day, in my opinion. Mad Mimi does exactly what we needed done to engage just the right audience with proven, scalable results. It's great software, but it's also the value of the team at Mad Mimi that one gets as a customer.

Cons

  • The drag and drop tool is easy to use but very limited. It's really difficult to be creative with columns and content.
  • The entire tool itself is pretty basic. Not wow'd by any features.

Pretty simple, I know I'm getting what I pay for and a little more. Although simple and easy for the new user; a more seasoned marketer can still get the most from MadMimi. Especially if the primary purpose is to generate strong brand loyalty with effective communication that integrates your various outlets: MadMimi makes it easy for your customer to pick-up what the business owner wants to relay.

Mad Mimi is not as complex to use for preparing emails as some competitors like Mailchimp. Mad Mimi has a lot of integration for third-party apps. Unlike Mailchimp, Mad Mimi is more suitable for our e-marketing strategy. Mad Mimi does not offer free trial whereas Mailchimp does offer a test service for 1000 emails. Mailchimp has more functionalities, for instance, the A/B testing which is lacking in Mad Mimi but is very effective in Mailchimp. The email template from Mad Mimi is not as responsive as the one of Mailchimp but when it comes to overall usage, Mad Mimi can do basically what Mailchimp can do. Mailchimp has more functionality in autoresponder usage than Mad Mimi. We chose Mad Mimi because it is cheaper.

Return on Investment
  • I've spent 3 years creating blog posts, and it is only now encompassing the breath that allows me to draw upon this pieces as a reusable resource, but now this is happening.
  • I preferred the Mad Mimi platform to Mail Chimp, and I suspect it continues to offer advantages. I felt Mad Mimi did themselves a disservice by failing to support their free subscriber service to the same extent that Mail Chimp does. When one's mail list gets sufficiently large, then it does pay to pay them, but not in the context I was using it.
  • It seems that Mad Mimi is targeting direct marketing purposes, as this is a use where ROI is more easily measured.

  • I see only positive impact when started using it.
  • It increased our organic sales in short period of time.
  • Brand awareness was done properly.
  • We are able to focus on right customer at right time.
  • Only thing they need to improve is their dashboard feature.
