Beacons offers a seamless way to import your Mailchimp audience with a minimum of spreadsheet editing and data loss between the two platforms, so that you can get up and running on email marketing at a fraction of the cost.
Part 1: Export Audience From Mailchimp
Sign into your Mailchimp account.
On the left hand navigation bar, click on the āAudienceā tab.
Then click āAll Contactsā tab nested under the Audience Tab.
āOnce youāre in āAll Contactsā, click the āExport Audienceā button.
āOn the next page, click on the āExport As CSVā button. This will download a CSV file of all your Mailchimp subscribers. Make note of where this file downloaded on your computer for the next phase of importing into Beacons.
Note: Sometimes it takes a while for Mailchimp to load this page, especially if you have a large list. In these instances, Mailchimp should email you with a link when the CSV is ready to download.

Sign in to your Beacons account
Navigate to the Audience Manager (or click here) and click the āImport Audience Membersā button
āChoose the option for āImport from Mailchimpā
