Bulk Tagging in Mailchimp: 3 Easy Ways to Organize Contacts Efficiently

In this tutorial video, I'll explore three effective methods for adding tags to your Mailchimp contacts in bulk. First, I'll show you how to effortlessly apply a tag to an entire spreadsheet of contacts, saving you valuable time and effort. Next, I'll guide you through the process of creating multiple tags within a spreadsheet, which will then seamlessly update your Mailchimp contacts with the corresponding tags. Lastly, I'll demonstrate how to leverage segments within Mailchimp to search for specific contacts based on defined criteria and easily add tags to them. By utilizing these three techniques, you'll gain the ability to efficiently organize and categorize your contacts, empowering you to tailor your email campaigns for optimal engagement. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced Mailchimp user, this video provides valuable insights into bulk tagging methods that can revolutionize your contact management.

Great video, I found this because I'm having an issue with importing my list and my tags are getting added to all the contacts. I have 4 different tags I'm using but not every contact has all 4. Some might have one, some might have two, is there any way to stop this from happening? It appears the first contact gets imported correctly then the rest get all 4 tags added.

Have you tried adding tags via a spreadsheet/CSV (in the video, it's one of the options she shows). You create a column called "Tags" and then add the tags (in quotation marks and separated by a comma e.g. "tag1","tag2","tag3"). That way, you can add whichever tags are relevant.

Thank you so much for this, I have been going around in cirecles trying to figure out how to do this without having to individually go through the contacts 1 by 1. Great explanaition, thanks

[@bexcharteris2221]

Thank you! I've been looking for a way to add multiple different tags to contacts before I import the spreadsheet into Mailchimp. I hadn't found any answers in the Mailchimp tutorials or help articles, but your video has exactly the info I was looking for. Thank you so much! - Bex

Thanks, Marty. Great video. In your second scenario, I notice that your tags ended up being surrounded by quotes after your import (4:15). Is that ideal / optimal?

[@semillasplantae9580]

Thank you! I went directly to tags and found an option that says Bulk Tag Contacts and then upload the CSV file. It isok like this as well?

Marti, your videos are extremely helpful. We are planning in advance to switch over from a smaller email service to MC. Your tutorials have helped answer many of our questions about actual user experience, and how the program works on a day-to-day basis. Your careful approach, normal tone of voice and pace of speech, and visual demonstration of how each feature actually looks on screen are excellent. Thank you so much! :)
