What if you lost access to your Facebook or Instagram account tomorrow - how would you communicate with your customers? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Using a marketing platform like Mailchimp can help you reach your customers in a targeted way and offers email templates to get started, sign up forms to grow your audience and reports on how your emails are being responded to (how many people clicked that link?!).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

It's a cost effective way to market your business, with a free plan available that will work for small businesses with up to 2,000 contacts.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
