We recently had a client who needed to save their Mailchimp campaign as a PDF for record-keeping purposes. It's a common requirement, and there's a straightforward way to accomplish this.
However, simply clicking 'Save As' won't do the trick. There are a few steps involved in ensuring that the saved PDF looks just as polished as the original campaign.
Let's explore the process of preserving a Mailchimp campaign as a PDF, and why it's essential to follow each step carefully.
Key Takeaways
- Access and review the sent campaign in Mailchimp to analyze its performance metrics.
- Make necessary adjustments to the campaign content before saving it as a PDF.
- Locate and open the archived version of the sent campaign in a web browser.
- Configure print options to remove unnecessary elements such as headers and footers before printing or saving as a PDF.
Accessing the Sent Campaign
To access the sent campaign, simply navigate to the 'Campaigns' tab in Mailchimp and click on the specific campaign you want to access. Once you've clicked on the campaign, you'll be able to view the details and performance metrics of the sent campaign. This includes the open rate, click rate, bounce rate, and other valuable insights that can help you assess the effectiveness of your campaign.
After accessing the sent campaign, it's important to review the content and ensure that everything looks as intended. This step is crucial before proceeding to save the campaign as a PDF. Make any necessary adjustments or corrections to the content to guarantee that the PDF version accurately represents your original campaign.
Once you're satisfied with the campaign's content and performance, you can proceed to save the campaign as a PDF. This will allow you to have a permanent record of the campaign, which can be useful for future reference or reporting purposes.
Opening the Archived Campaign
After reviewing the content and ensuring its accuracy, we can proceed to open the archived campaign in a web browser to prepare for printing. Here's how to do it:
- Locate the archived version of your sent email campaign by following the instructions provided in the 'Find Your Sent Email Campaigns' article.
- Access the archived version of your sent email campaign in your web browser using the designated method.
- Once the archived version is open, simply use the keyboard shortcut CTRL+P or CMD+P to open the print options for the archived campaign.
- Refer to the specific instructions for your web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Windows Edge) for printing the archived campaign. Each browser may have slightly different steps for printing, so it's important to follow the guidelines specific to your browser.
Removing Unnecessary Elements
When removing unnecessary elements from the archived campaign for printing or saving, it's essential to identify and disable any headers and footers in the print and save settings.
To achieve this, utilize keyboard shortcuts like CTRL+P or CMD+P to access the print options. From there, remove unwanted elements such as headers and footers.
Additionally, web browser settings can be used to remove webpage headers and footers before saving or printing the campaign. Look for specific options within your web browser to save or print the email campaign without unnecessary elements.
This process ensures that the saved PDF or printed copy is clean and free from any unwanted elements. By taking these steps, you can ensure that the final document accurately represents the original email campaign without any distracting or irrelevant content.
This attention to detail is crucial for maintaining a professional and polished appearance when sharing your campaign in PDF format or in hard copy.
