Mailing list

We use Mailchimp for our mailing list. See our Mailing List landing page for a sign-up form.

See Marketing goals and strategy for how our mailing list fits into our communications strategy.

Access Mailchimp

We have a single Mailchimp account and share access to team members via a single username/password. See Shared bitwarden account for access.

Send e-mails via Mailchimp

Mailchimp calls each e-mail a Campaign.

To see our preview e-mails: Click Campaigns -> All campaigns. You’ll see a list of the previous e-mails we’ve sent to our communities via Mailchimp.

To create a new e-mail: The simplest approach is to replicate a previous campaign. Go to the list of previous campaigns (see above), click the v next to the latest one, and click on Replicate. This will give you a pre-filled template with the same layout we’ve used before. Replace the content as you wish before sending.

Send new campaigns as your personal e-mail address (if you wish to identify personally with the e-mail), or with hello@2i2c.org.

Add contacts to our mailing list

Users sign up to the newsletter via our landing page’s contact form at 2i2c.org/mailing-list. Do not manually add e-mail addresses unless you know somebody wants to be on this list.

To see our contact list in Mailchimp, go to Audience -> All contacts. You’ll see a list of names and e-mail addresses that have signed up for our Mailing list.
