Exporting the Campaign
When exporting a Mailchimp campaign, follow these steps:

This action generates a file containing the HTML code of the campaign. This file can be imported into another Mailchimp account or utilized in different email marketing platforms.

Prior to importing the exported HTML into another account, it's advisable to thoroughly test the campaign to ensure proper display and expected functionality.
Upon importing the HTML into a new account, it's essential to update all links, images, and other content to ensure they're correctly directed and fully functional.
This meticulous approach is critical to ensuring a seamless transition of the copied Mailchimp campaign into another account, safeguarding the campaign's integrity and effectiveness.
Importing the Campaign to New Account

Customizing the Duplicated Campaign
To enhance the duplicated campaign, consider making necessary adjustments in the email builder before finalizing the publication.
When creating a copy of an email campaign in a Mailchimp account, the replicated version is stored on the Campaigns page with the original email name followed by '(copy ##)'. In the email builder, the name of the duplicated campaign can be customized to better suit its purpose.
It's important to note that changing the campaign type of a replicated campaign isn't feasible, so it's crucial to ensure that the original type aligns with the intended use of the duplicated campaign.
Additionally, it's advisable to avoid using Social Cards with replicated campaigns, as it isn't recommended.
Testing and Reviewing the Duplicated Campaign
After duplicating a campaign, we thoroughly test all links and functionalities to ensure they function as intended in the duplicated version. This includes checking the accuracy of the content and design, verifying the audience and settings, and reviewing the tracking and reporting to ensure data is captured accurately. Sending a test email of the duplicated campaign to ourselves and colleagues helps review the appearance and functionality. Below is a table summarizing the key steps for testing and reviewing the duplicated campaign:
| Testing and Reviewing the Duplicated Campaign |
|---|
| 1. Test all links and functionalities |
| 2. Review content and design |
| 3. Check audience and settings |
Sending the Duplicated Campaign
Upon completing the thorough testing and review of the duplicated campaign, we proceed to the next step of sending it out to the intended audience. To do this, we access the duplicated campaign from the Campaigns page. If any modifications were made during the review process, ensure that all the necessary changes have been applied. Once confirmed, it's time to create a new campaign.
From the Campaigns page, select the duplicated campaign and choose the 'Re-use' option to set it up as a new campaign. Double-check the audience settings, subject lines, and sender information to ensure that they align with the intended audience and message.
Before hitting the 'Send' button, it's crucial to review the campaign one last time to ensure that it complies with all sending guidelines and best practices. Once everything is set, use the 'Send' options to distribute the duplicated campaign to the desired audience.
After the campaign has been sent, you can track its performance and engagement through Mailchimp's reporting tools. If any issues arise, Mailchimp's support team is available to assist via email and chat.
