mailchimp / email newsletter mailerlite intergration ?

[wezers73]

We have been using bluepark for several years, unfortunately even with the API access there are very few integrations available with 3rd parties that we require.
One of these is a decent email / newsletter integration for the likes of mailchimp, sendinblue, mailerlite etc
Has anyone found an email newsletter provider that integrates with bluepark suitable for 40,000+ subscribers
Blueparks inbuilt email newsletter is not up to the job and can not match what mailchimp and others offer. It is fine for new start ups etc

We are missing out on uptodate marketing campaigns by not having proper integrations supporting bluepark

We would also love a integration so we can use print on demand and web to print from the like sof printify / printful etc..
I notice all the other SAAS ecommerce solutions have these integrations.

Feels like bluepark is being left behind and although we appreciate its stability and great customer service we need to move forward with technology, I have contacted mailchimp and the others etc but they have not even heard of bluepark or at least the from line of customer service has not. They are not going to develop integrations for one person to use.

Bluepark managed to get Royal Mail to integrate its click and drop, I think we need the same approach for all the other integrations

So within Mailchimp you can create a form that generates the code ready for you to copy into Bluepark (via a block, the footer etc.).

It looks like an ordinary sign-up box, but the data goes back to Mailchimp where you create and manage your campaigns from there.

I can't comment on the other email companies you mention as I've never used them, but I suspect they have a similer option.

Bluepark do have a Klaviyo integration, I have not used it so cannot comment regarding the service, it looks a tad pricy though.

I don't have any experience of it but as Martin says BP does integrate with Klaviyo and it may be worth spending some time to see if it does what you require. The following information was taken from latest updates. Hope it helps


Promote Your Website with Klaviyo

Klaviyo connects to your Bluepark online shop to listen, collect, and store important information about what visitors are doing on your site. With this data you can then create highly targeted, personalised marketing campaigns to increase conversions. Automated abandoned basket emails and post-purchase targeting emails can also be used to improve customer experience and conversions.

Simply add your Klaviyo public API key via Integrations: Website Plugins.

Find out more on our dedicated Klaviyo page:

Klaviyo Customer Lists

It is now possible to specify a Klaviyo customer list ID. This is the list that the customer will be added to when they consent to being contacted.
Simply add the desired list ID via Integrations: Website Plugins.

Export Products in JSON Format (Plus Klaviyo Support)

It is now possible to create a product export in JSON format, in addition to CSV.
By default, the JSON field names match those found in our API, but they can be customised in the same way that CSV column headings can be customised.
Putting the JSON export to immediate use, there is now a Klaviyo Catalogue feed option available via the Export Products section. This new feature can enable you to set up a Klaviyo Custom Catalogue integration with ease.

At £600 a month this one is out of our price range for newsletters. Many thanks though.

Klaviyo is by far the best email marketing setup.

with a 40k email database, that should easily pay for itself if done properly

[wezers73]

taking a alook at this, not exactly a slick integration as we have to use product feed exports etc, no real bluepark help guide and Klaviyo has no record of bluepark in their help files so it is very much a learn as you go in the dark. Just wish we could get decent integrations like they do for all the other shopping carts. Make my life far easier . I will post any useful notes i find that may help anyone later!

Klaviyo is not bad to set up if you watch / read their tutorials and if you have any issues Klaviyo support is very good. Regards the product feed export there is a json one to use already set up in the export products (top right corner).

Are you seeing an increased return through using Klaviyo

Would love to bump this post, how do people find Klaviyo, was thinking of trying them (we are small online & bricks and mortar shop).

We moved to Mailerlite, better value for money.

Thanks Neil I want to keep it as simple as possible. From what I understand does that mean everything is managed on mailerlite or do you do a CSV file of the contacts each time from Bluepark I was wondering? I know I need to go and study it really.

[Neil]

I just csv everything over once and then if they want to unsubscribe there is a link at the bottom of the page. Just keep adding in new customer sign up every month. Plus there is the sign up form on the website that feeds straight into a Mailerlite database

OK, it's a bit confusing where the contacts are managed on BP or in Mailerlite. Im sure I will work it out once I have time to get my head into their info!
