Replicate MailChimp to Redshift in minutes

MailChimp is an all-in-one, powerful marketing platform that provides its users with insightful tracking and metrics for email marketing campaigns. But if you are looking for more advanced and flexible reporting, analysis, or dashboarding then you might benefit from moving your MailChimp data to a data warehouse like Redshift. Integrate your MailChimp data to a robust data warehouse like Redshift and start focusing on insights that matter to your business for building better customer relationships.

In this article, we will show you two approaches to replicate your MailChimp data to Redshift. Find out how you can set up MailChimp Redshift Integration and which approach suits the best for your business.

 

Why integrate MailChimp into Redshift?

Advertisers having multiple metrics to consider while evaluating their email campaign performance look for complete control over the email marketing data. Replicating your MailChimp data to a powerful data warehouse like Redshift is the right step towards building a single source of truth while eliminating all the data silos and getting analytical insights from your data. Once you replicate this data to Redshift, you can combine MailChimp data with other marketing data sources and get meaningful insights to optimize your email marketing efforts further.

 

MailChimp Overview

MailChimp is a marketing automation platform that allows users to create, send, and analyze email and ad campaigns. It provides AI-powered, user-friendly tools to help you manage your customer relations successfully. MailChimp lets you send marketing emails and automated messages, create targeted ad campaigns, build landing pages, send postcards, facilitate reporting and analytics, and sell online. The new features introduced make MailChimp a general digital marketing and sales hub for smaller businesses.

 

Redshift Overview

Redshift is a cloud-based data warehouse solution offered by Amazon. The platform provides a storage system that lets companies store petabytes of data. Redshift takes full advantage of Amazon’s cloud server infrastructure and is designed for big data as it can scale easily because of the modular node design. It is a fully managed warehouse, so administrative tasks like configuration, maintenance backups, and security are completely automated. Amazon Redshift offers the performance, speed, and scalability required to address your data warehousing and ETL needs.

 

How to replicate MailChimp to Redshift?

Here’s an overview of the two approaches you can use to replicate MailChimp data to Redshift. This will allow you to evaluate the pros and cons of both and choose the one that best suits your requirement.

Build your own data pipeline

This process needs a lot of experience and consumes a lot of time and manpower. The chances of errors are more due to multiple integrated steps to be executed one after the other. You need to extract data using MailChimp APIs & then connect it properly with the Redshift data warehouse. This whole process to build a custom data pipeline requires regular intervention that makes it cumbersome.
