It’s true what they say, that you can establish and maintain customer loyalty and boost sales with email marketing. Email is still one of the most effective messaging channels around with 59% of respondents saying marketing emails influence their purchase decisions. This is where Rocketspark’s Mailchimp integration is super helpful to have in your marketing toolbox.
Mailchimp is a powerful email marketing solution
We’ve integrated Rocketspark with Mailchimp ecommerce so that you’re able to:
- Enable your online shoppers to opt-in or subscribe to your newsletters via a checkbox as part of the checkout process.
- Easily and effortlessly communicate directly with potential leads, first timers and repeat customers using automated emails.
Whether you’re an existing Mailchimp user or you’re new to email marketing, it’s easy to connect your Mailchimp account with your Rocketspark store or to set up a new account with Mailchimp and connect it to your website.
Once you’ve connected your Rocketspark website with your Mailchimp account, all the purchase data (including carts, customer details, orders & product details) from your online store will automatically be captured in your Mailchimp account. When you log-into Mailchimp, you’re able to navigate to the Audiences tab where you can organise your customers, or contacts into segments using Tabs, for instance.
Information collected from your Rocketspark store will allow you to make informed marketing decisions when setting up automated emails to boost your sales.

1. Get a second chance to make a sale with a Recover abandoned cart email
Take the opportunity to get shoppers back to their carts with the Recover abandoned carts type of automated emails.

Read more about the Abandoned carts automation here.
2. Show you care with a Follow-up email
Send a Product Follow-up/review email to your customer after they purchase certain items from your online store. Ask them to review the product/s, then use this insight to follow up with them by sending them information about new products that could be of interest to them.
3. Send a Thank you email to express your appreciation
Thank first-time customers after they've made their first purchase with an automated Thank you email, a great opportunity to turn them into a repeat customer with a coupon code. It’s also a great opportunity to recommend other products to them that are similar to what they previously purchased, or a way to invite them to connect with your businesses social media to stay informed with what’s new.
4. Reward your best customers with coupons
You’re able to capture customer data when your Rocketspark store is connected to your Mailchimp account. Use this insight to bring your best customers back to your store by showing them how much you value them with sale announcements or special coupons. Read about coupon codes here.
5. Bring back long-lost customers by keeping in touch
Win back lapsed customers with automated emails to those who haven't purchased from your store in a specific timeframe. A good way to entice them to return and see what’s new. According to Mailchimp, this type of automation has proven effective in helping businesses generate triple the number of orders per recipient than a bulk email would.
