Our Process

1

Account Audit

We review the full account: audiences, tags, groups, automations, integrations, and recent performance. We identify the biggest gaps and the most valuable opportunities.

2

Cleanup & Consolidation

We clean up duplicate and inactive contacts, consolidate audiences where appropriate, and restructure the account around a cleaner model.

3

Automations & Campaigns

We rebuild or refresh the core automations and set up a sustainable campaign workflow with templates and a content cadence.

4

Integrations & Support

We fix or replace broken integrations, make sure data flows reliably, and stay involved for ongoing optimization.

Why Choose System Strats

We are not locked in to any one email platform. We work across Mailchimp, Klaviyo, Constant Contact, and others, and we can tell you honestly whether Mailchimp is the right tool for your stage, or whether a move makes sense. Our advice is shaped by what fits your business, not what we prefer to sell.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Mailchimp Audience Setup & Cleanup, and how System Strats can help.

Mailchimp bills based on the number of contacts across all audiences, and duplicates across audiences are counted separately. We structure your account to minimize unnecessary cost from duplicates and unused contacts.

One main audience with tags and groups is almost always the right answer. Multiple audiences create duplication and make reporting harder. We help existing accounts consolidate safely.

Yes. Cleanup projects start with an audit of current audiences, tags, groups, and archived contacts, then restructure around current needs.

We segment inactives, run a re-engagement sequence, and suppress the ones who do not respond. This improves deliverability and reduces cost at the same time.
