SWITCHING FROM MAILCHIMP

Mailchimp has 300 features. Butter has three.

Mailchimp was built for companies selling things. If you send one newsletter a week to your church, you are paying for a tool that does 297 things you will never open.

Bringing your list over takes about five minutes.

What you give up

Worth saying plainly, because some churches should stay where they are.

Automations. Butter sends newsletters. If you are running a multi-step welcome series, keep Mailchimp.
A/B testing. Not here. Most churches are not running experiments on a list of 600.
Landing pages and online stores. Mailchimp does these. Butter does not.
Ad tools. Not here either.

Sections built for church.

You built an event block last week. And the week before. Butter’s already has the date, place, map, and sign-up button.

FAQs

If yours is not here, email us at support@butterhq.com.

Do I have to cancel Mailchimp first?

No. Keep it running until you’re sure. Most churches overlap for a month.

Will my unsubscribes carry over?

Yes. Include them in your export and we’ll honor every one. If you connect Planning Center, they come across automatically.

Can I keep our old newsletters?

Those stay where they are. Butter starts fresh with your next one. Send us your last newsletter and we’ll rebuild it here so you’re not starting from a blank page.

How long does the whole thing take?

About five minutes to move your list. Most churches send their first Butter newsletter the same day.

What if it doesn’t work out?

Cancel from your account any time. You keep your list and can export it whenever you want.

Try it on this week’s newsletter.

Free for 14 days. Keep Mailchimp running until you are sure.
