There are Better Email Marketing Solutions than MailChimp for Chiropractors
As a chiropractor, you want to focus on helping patients, not worrying about email marketing.
While MailChimp is a popular option, there are several reasons why it might not be the best choice for your practice.
We’ll explore the 3 big reasons why chiropractors shouldn’t use MailChimp and wrap up by introducing you to a MailChimp alternative for chiropractors to consider.
Our Top 3 Bottom-Line-Driven Reasons Why Chiropractors Shouldn’t Use MailChimp
If you’re a chiropractor, there’s a good chance you’re familiar with MailChimp as a way to stay in touch with and email your patients.
But did you know that there are some serious reasons why you shouldn’t be using this service?
Here are the top three reasons why chiropractors shouldn’t use MailChimp.
The Smart Chiropractor's Guide to Converting More New Patients From Your Website
1) — MailChimp’s Deliverability is Often Low
MailChimp is known for being unreliable.
Your emails could end up in spam folders or never reach their intended recipients.
For chiropractors, it is essential to trust that emails sent to your patients will arrive promptly and stay out of spam folders.
Unfortunately, MailChimp’s reputation for unreliability often leaves chiropractors feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about whether they are hitting the promotional tab, spam folder, or inbox.
Know This
If your patients cannot see your email, they cannot read it and take action.
Using the Patient Pilot email dashboard (complete with 100% editable and done-for-you automated email campaigns) can help ensure that the messages you send reach your intended recipients and strengthen your relationships.
The first step is knowing how to set up your email service.
“The Smart Chiropractor’s tools are simply the best ROI I have seen in 20 years of practice.”

And unless you know about DKIM, SPF, and the other technical details about linking your domain to your email provider… you’re more likely than ever to end up in the spam folder.
That is one of the primary benefits of the over 300 chiropractors who use Patient PIlot for their email marketing.
We know all the technical details and set everything up to ensure you have ultra-high deliverability to get the best ROI possible and stay out of the spam folder.
2) — Building Emails in MailChimp Can Be Tricky
The design interface is not user-friendly, and it can be challenging to create professional-looking emails.
Do you ever get frustrated when designing an email for your business?
It can be incredibly difficult to use tools effectively and create emails that look professional, especially if the design interface is clunky or outdated.
Trying to navigate through those confusing features should not be necessary to make high-quality content—it should be simple, so anyone can create stunning email designs in a matter of minutes.
Learning a new technology is hard.
That’s why so many chiropractors have Mailchimp accounts that they haven’t sent out in months!
Know This
The technical challenges of trying to set up and consistently use the technology become a barrier that is too hard to overcome… so emails don’t get created and sent, and your business suffers as a result.
That’s why it’s essential to invest in tools like Patient Pilot with a user-friendly design interface.
It’ll save time and elevate your emails from average, everyday template messages into something more meaningful.
Even better – in addition to having a user-friendly design interface, we create and send emails for you so you don’t have to do anything to get more new patients, better retention, and consistent reactivations.
3) — MailChimp Doesn’t Offer Live Phone Support
MailChimp does not offer any type of phone support, so if you have any questions or problems, you’re on your own.
MailChimp can be an excellent tool for managing email campaigns, but its lack of phone support unless you have a premier plan can be daunting.
You’re on your own if you run into any challenges or have questions about navigating the system.
Know This
Your team could spend hours upon hours figuring out how to segment, create, and build the automation you need for success.
Time is money!
That is time wasted.
