Folks, we've got a pretty decent residential / domestic customer email list via mail chimp.
However we have none of our Business customers on mailchimp because a lot are local authority and mail chimp doesn't seem to like email addresses such as office@xyz.gov.uk etc etc. The contacts are bonafide and we need to send them order / contract details, updates, instructions etc. Sometimes we have updates to send them monthly regarding our services but we are currently doing this manually one contact at a time and mailchimp won't even import the email addresses is there a way around this or another email service we could use? thanks

Check out Campaign Monitor - considerably better than MailChimp.

I've had the same issue with MailChimp with admin@ email addresses - seems silly to me.

Campaign Monitor seems to be better overall and I've not had any problem with admin@ addresses. They can be very cautious about where the contacts came from however, as they should be. You may find you bump into their limits with a new account and importing a larger list, but their support are quick to help.

I know that this is run by a PHer... So would be worth your consideration too.

emailout.com they’re free to use like MailChimp and accept .gov and admin@ email addresses.

Thanks everyone, I had jumped the gun a little and signed up to campaign monitor, first list is sub 1000 so will give it a try and see how it goes, email out looks very good though! Certainly no issues with admin email address imports with campaign monitor.

We partnered with Klavyio and for the right client it’s a valuable serious selling tool.
Not sure if it suits but def check it out.

Is it worth considering a link to a CRM system, ie: https://www.zoho.com/campaigns/

We don't use Zoho but its currently being considered to bring everything under one platform.
