I thought that there might be a couple of Dreamweaver users here who  also use MailChimp. What I would like to know is how to send a campaign  out to specific email addresses. I know you can send by certain search  critera but I would like to send out by a list of specific email ads  instead. Does anyone know how to do this? MailChimp's tech support is  closed I would really like to get this out by early tomorrow morning and  sent out today.

 

Thanks

I use MC but I'm not sure of your question.  You can segment your lists with them, but I'm not sure what you mean by the "search criteria".  Are you tied into their API?  Also did you try posting on the MC forums (they call it the "Jungle" - http://jungle.mailchimp.com/forum )?

Perhaps I should simplfy my question. I don't think I worded it very well the first time. Basically I need to send out two seperate email ads, one ad for people who went to our trade show and another for people who didn't. I have a list of addresses for people who went and a list for people who didn't. How do I apply one of those lists that I have to one of my ads?

 

When I try to segment my list MC only lets me add about 4 addresses, that won't work because one ad needs close to 100 address. I hope my question makes more sense. I was not aware of the MC forum I will look into that as well.

If these two lists were not in MC before I would just upload them as two lists, create a campaign and duplicate it to send to the 2nd list.

If, the people who didn't go to the tradeshow are your current mailing list and there are some you are worried about duplicating, again I would probably do this in Excel to remove the duplicates and then send as 2 different campaigns.

In order to segment though you never really want to segment by address in this instance, but a custom field.  While this could be possible with their API, I am not well-versed enough with it to say that, but if you have questions, their support team is pretty good.
