I often look back at history and wonder âWhat if…?â Could you imagine how different things would be if Napoleon were able to have constant weather updates in Siberia or if early Americans had a G.P.S. system? Well today I looked back at history thinking âWho in history would have benefited from TemplateZone’s Software?â Here are my top 2 choices:
1. Johannes Gutenberg (Inventor of the Printing Press)
The printing press was an incredible invention that completely revolutionized the print industry. The printing press did allow documents to be mass produced, however, the countless hours and preparation necessary to do so must have been excruciating. I believe Gutenberg would have been much better rested had he been able to use OfficeReady 4.0 and create high quality print documents in minutes.

2. Samuel F.B. Morse (Inventor of Morse code)
Samuel Morse created the telegraph and Morse code over 160 years ago. Morse code allowed textual information to be transmitted through a method of on-off tones, lights, or clicks that could be interpreted by a trained listener. Morse code required specific equipment and countless hours of training. If Samuel Morse had High Impact eMail 5 at his disposal he may have had a more stylish and speedy way to reach a general audience, but little kids wouldnât have had the cool Morse code chart and buzzer on their hand held Walke Talke.

These two historical figures would have greatly benefited from TemplateZoneâs products. Since our software is so user friendly I am positive that if I invented a way to go back in time to meet both Gutenberg and Morse, the two would be able to create studio quality print and email documents without any of my help. Though if I were able to create a way to go back in time, I would probably spend more time running from dinosaurs than blogging
.
Who do you think would have benefited from TemplateZoneâs products?

SARAH: MailChimp 5.0 has some really neat functionality, including the Delivery Doctor spam block detector and Automagic Email Translation of content that detects subscriber languages preferences. Which new feature do you think is most exciting, and why?
AMY: It’s so hard to pick just one feature. I am really excited about the Geolocation Tools we released in v5. They give our users the power to target their subscribers by location without collecting any city or zip code information. I also really love the Delivery Doctor because not only does it help you create a campaign that will reach the inbox, but it also helps you learn why your campaign might get caught as spam. So, next time you go to create a campaign, you have that much more information guiding you. |

SARAH: Last summer, MailChimp incorporated High Impact eMail as a template solution for designing HTML emails. How do you feel High Impact eMail fits into MailChimpâs philosophy of providing users with tools that are âactually usefulâ and âso easy, a human could use [them]â?
AMY: Sometimes, designing an email campaign that looks good can be one of the hardest parts of email marketing. So, we try to give people all the tools and info they need to create effective email campaigns. That’s where HIE5 templates come in. We want our users to feel like their template options are endless and endlessly useful. Our integration with HIE5 gives them access to over 101 HTML email templates that can be pulled into their MailChimp account easily and seamlessly. |

SARAH: MailChimp does a great job of utilizing social media to spread their message. Any tips or tricks for other companies who want to make better use of blogging and sites like Twitter and Facebook?
AMY: When it comes to social media we try to do two things: 1) provide useful information and 2) be authentic. An Ad slogan sent via Twitter is not authentic. Getting a real response when you’re having a problem is authentic and useful. Sharing something cool that we’ve stumbled across is authentic and fun (useful)! |
|
|
SARAH: To what do you attribute MailChimpâs widespread appeal?
AMY: I hope that our appeal comes from a combination of working really hard to create a powerful and easy-to-use email application, and being an authentic and down-to-earth group of people who love design, technology and email. |
|
|
SARAH: TemplateZoneâs aim is to help small- and medium-sized businesses market themselves as professionally as their large-company competitors. Does MailChimp share this mission and, if so, what features and services were created with small businesses in mind?
AMY: We are always trying to put powerful email marketing tools in the hands of users while making them easy to use. So many of our features really fit well with small businesses. Our pricing model makes it easy to get started and our videos, online training and step-by-step guides make it easy to learn the ins-and-outs of email marketing as they build their list of subscribers. Once they’ve got the hang of it, they’ve got access to powerful testing and sending tools like A/B Testing, RSS-to-email, Segmentation, API integration and now Geo-location, Email Translation and more. |
|
|
SARAH: What makes MailChimp unique among email service providers?
AMY: Well, we’ve got a monkey as a mascot… Okay just kidding. We differentiate ourselves among other email service providers by taking powerful email marketing tools and processes and automating them, making them easy and accessible for the average user. We want them to be the expert email marketers, not us. |
