Intuit Mailchimp Supercharges Retailers’ Marketing Efforts to Drive ROI

Built on the Intuit platform, powerful new Shopify-specific enhancements, seamless omnichannel campaigns across email and SMS, and more robust reporting and analytics just in time for the holidays

Intuit Inc, the global financial technology platform that makes Intuit TurboTax, Credit Karma, QuickBooks, and Mailchimp, today announced a suite of powerful new Intuit Mailchimp features designed to help retailers reach new customers and drive revenue growth during the busiest shopping season of the year. Mailchimp’s recent Holiday Shopping Unwrapped report found that 43% of shoppers made a purchase tied to at least one holiday moment during the Early Lead-Up phase (October 1–31), underscoring how critical it is for marketers to prepare their holiday marketing strategies earlier than ever.

To help retailers meet this seasonal moment and reach their sales goals, the latest Mailchimp release includes an improved Shopify integration, smarter segmentation tools, advanced ecommerce analytics, global and multi-audience SMS capabilities, and a refreshed email template library—all powered by the Intuit platform. These innovations can make it easier for ecommerce marketers to get more customers, deliver high-performing omnichannel campaigns, and show the revenue impact of every touchpoint, with the aim of more money, less work, and more confidence.

“With these improvements, businesses can move faster, personalize with more precision, and measure the tangible business impact of every omnichannel campaign,” said Diana Williams, vice president, product management at Intuit Mailchimp. “The holiday season is an enormous opportunity for retailers, but brands must move beyond traditional major retail moments of Black Friday and Cyber Monday to gain a significant competitive advantage. With these new tools, Mailchimp delivers the confidence and clarity marketers need to turn customer engagement into reliable revenue growth, extending their impact far beyond the peak holiday shopping windows.”

A Smarter Shopify Integration

Mailchimp’s updated Shopify integration unlocks deeper behavioral insights and new triggers—like product views, checkout started, page views, and search terms—and turns them into revenue-driving triggers.

Additional capabilities include:

• Single-Use Shopify Discount Codes: Minimize code sharing and personalize offers at scale.
• Expanded Segmentation: Improved Shopify data compatibility lets retailers segment audiences by more behaviors, statuses, and browse activity.

“Right now, owned marketing platforms like Mailchimp are more important than ever,” says Intuit customer Connor Swegle, co-founder and CMO of Priority Bicycles. “The very bottom of the funnel—anybody who’s willing to add something to cart, or get four pages into the content on your website—is very important. Having really strategic, Shopify-specific campaigns built in Mailchimp helps us convert with confidence every customer we legitimately can. And since we can easily track the revenue uplift of those initiatives, we only continue to optimize and improve.”

Meeting customers where they are is critical and integrating SMS into an omnichannel strategy is now easier than ever with Mailchimp.

Retailers who want to reach customers in the US, UK, Australia, and Europe can now send SMS campaigns across multiple countries from a single Mailchimp account. Plus, with multi-audience capabilities, customers can send personalized messages to different customer segments, without toggling between tools.
