I had the chance to experience a fresh addition in Mailchimp that enables users to preserve their campaigns as PDF files. Being a content creator and email marketer, I recognize the significance of having a refined PDF version of my campaigns. In this piece, I will walk you through the steps of saving a Mailchimp campaign as a PDF, with some of my own perspectives shared.
Step 1: Accessing the Campaign
To begin, log in to your Mailchimp account and navigate to the Campaigns dashboard. Select the campaign you wish to save as a PDF. It’s important to note that only completed campaigns can be saved as PDFs.
Step 2: Editing the Campaign
Before saving the campaign as a PDF, it’s a good idea to review and edit it to ensure everything looks and reads as intended. Check for any spelling or grammar errors, broken links, or formatting issues. Remember, a well-crafted campaign will make a better impression on your recipients.
Step 3: Previewing the Campaign
Before proceeding, it’s always a good idea to preview your campaign to see how it will look to your recipients. Mailchimp provides a convenient preview option that allows you to see the campaign in both desktop and mobile views. Use this preview to ensure that all elements are correctly aligned and that the overall design is visually appealing.
Step 4: Saving as PDF
Once you are satisfied with the campaign and have completed any necessary edits, it’s time to save it as a PDF. To do this, click on the “More” dropdown menu located at the top-right corner of the campaign editor. Select the “Export as PDF” option from the dropdown menu.
Step 5: Customizing the PDF
After clicking on “Export as PDF,” a pop-up window will appear with options to customize the PDF. Here, you can choose whether to include certain elements such as the header, footer, or campaign stats. You can also designate the size and orientation of the PDF. Take some time to review these options and select the ones that best fit your needs.
Step 6: Downloading the PDF
Once you have customized the PDF settings, click on the “Export” button to generate the PDF file. Depending on the size and complexity of your campaign, this process may take a few moments. Once the PDF is ready, a download link will appear. Click on the link to download the PDF to your device.
It’s worth noting that the saved PDF will be a static representation of your campaign at the time of export. Any subsequent changes you make to the campaign will not be reflected in the saved PDF. If you need an updated version, you will have to repeat the process outlined in this article.
In Conclusion
Saving your Mailchimp campaign as a PDF is a valuable feature that allows you to create a professional-looking document for distribution or archiving purposes. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can easily export your campaigns as PDFs and have them readily available whenever you need them.
So why wait? Give it a try and experience the convenience and flexibility of having your Mailchimp campaigns saved as PDFs.
