Mailchimp is an incredible tool for conducting email marketing. One of its primary advantages is the capability to preview your emails prior to sending them. This feature allows you to gain a better understanding of how your subscribers will view your email and guarantees that everything is precise according to your preferences.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to preview your emails in Mailchimp.
Step 1: Create Your Email
Before you can preview your email, you need to create it. Log into your Mailchimp account and click on the “Create” button on the left-hand side of the screen. Select “Email” from the dropdown menu.
Step 2: Design Your Email
Next, you’ll be taken to the email designer. Here, you get to choose a template, add your content, and customize the design to match your brand. This is where you can let your creativity shine!
Step 3: Preview Your Email
Once you’re happy with your email design, it’s time to preview it. To do this, click on the “Preview and Test” button in the top-right corner of the screen.
This will open a dropdown menu with a few options. Click on “Enter preview mode” to preview your email.
Desktop and Mobile View
One of the great things about Mailchimp’s preview mode is that it lets you see what your email will look like on both desktop and mobile devices. To switch between these views, just click on the “Desktop” or “Mobile” tab at the top of the screen.
Email Inbox View
Another useful feature is the “Inbox” view. This shows you what your email will look like in a subscriber’s inbox. To access this view, click on the “Inbox” tab at the top of the screen.
Step 4: Send Test Email
If you want to see exactly how your email will look when it arrives in your subscribers’ inboxes, you can send a test email. To do this, click on the “Send a Test Email” option in the “Preview and Test” dropdown menu. This will open a popup where you can enter the email address you want to send the test to.
Note: Test emails include a “test” banner in the header to differentiate them from regular campaign emails.
And there you have it! You now know how to preview your emails in Mailchimp. Use this feature to ensure your emails look exactly how you want them to before you hit send!
