Getting set up won't take long, but there is a small 'getting started' learning curve. Simply follow the tutorials below to get up and running with powerful email campaigns to promote your event.

Here's an overview of the tasks we'll cover in this article.

• Things to know
• Task Roadmap
• Set up your account
• Set up your audience
• Customise your signup form
• Create a campaign
• View your campaign reports
• Review next steps

Note: Mailchimp has stopped their free account option (that sux a bit), but they do still provide a free trial, so you can use the free trial and then simply cancel the account when your event is over. We'll be looking into new options.

Email is a very powerful marketing option and you own the contact details. Unlike Facebook where Facebook can limit how many of your audience members see your posts (force you to pay to reach people), email allows you to contact everyone in just a few clicks. There's an art to it.
