How to Share MailChimp Templates With Non-MailChimp Users
Open rates might not be like they were in the early 2,000's, but email still forms the marketing backbone of thousands of small businesses. Knowing how to leverage it to its full potential is crucial—especially when it comes to working with other partners on cobranded email blasts.
