Member Splash integrates with Mailchimp, an industry leading email list delivery platform, to provide a fast, convenient way to send bulk communications to your members. Mailchimp provides a generous free service tier (used by the majority of our clubs) as well as paid plans for clubs with larger lists or additional needs.
