Mailchimp Setup in St Davids
Setting up Mailchimp properly for St Davids businesses. Two things determine whether email works and neither is design: whether your domain is authenticated so messages reach inboxes, and whether the list was built with consent that satisfies PECR rather than assembled from whatever addresses were to hand.
Why this comes up
The problem
Campaigns go out and open rates are poor. Some recipients say they never receive them, and nobody is sure where several thousand of the addresses originally came from.
What you get
What we deliver
- Domain authentication configured, since unauthenticated mail increasingly does not arrive
- List audited for consent, with addresses of unknown origin removed
- Audience structure sorted, because Mailchimp charges on contact count
- Signup forms capturing consent properly and recording where it came from
- Automations for the sequences worth having rather than every possible one
- Reporting on clicks and conversions rather than opens, which are now unreliable

Mailchimp Setup in St Davids — common questions
- Why do our emails go to spam?
- Most often missing domain authentication. Major providers now expect SPF, DKIM and DMARC on bulk senders, and mail without them is filtered or rejected. Authenticating your sending domain usually improves delivery more than any change to content.
- Can we email addresses we already hold?
- Only where you have a lawful basis. Under PECR, marketing email to individuals generally requires consent, with a narrow exception for existing customers offering similar products. Addresses of unknown provenance are a liability, and removing them typically improves results anyway.
- Are open rates still meaningful?
- Not reliably. Privacy features that pre-load images inflate opens, so the figure no longer measures what it appears to. Clicks and downstream conversions are the numbers to judge campaigns on, and open-based automation triggers are worth revisiting.
- How do we control the cost?
- By managing contact count. Mailchimp bills on audience size, so inactive subscribers cost money every month while producing nothing. Regularly removing people who have not engaged in a year reduces spend and usually improves deliverability.
- Do you work with businesses across Pembrokeshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Wales, including St Davids and the surrounding Pembrokeshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of St Davids businesses do you usually work with?
- Simple booking and payment systems for very small hospitality and tourism operators on the Pembrokeshire coast. Beyond that we work across Tourism & Heritage, Hospitality, Agriculture, Marine and Retail.
- Do you cover the areas around St Davids?
- Yes — we work throughout Wales, including Swansea, Cardiff. St Davids is an urban area of roughly 1,600+, and we take on work across the wider Pembrokeshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
