This is a question about Mailchimp or how other hosts send email marketing emails vs how to use OR. I am new to OR and have collected 26 emails from bookings! I would like to send an email to these guests, with a discount code if they book direct through the my website that OR hosts. I have signed up for a MailChimp account, and imported the contacts from OR to mailchimp. In mailchimp, How do I turn these 26 emails into 'subscribed' status via MailChimp? Or how do others hosts do email 'marketing'? Thanks!
I would recommend joining the chimp answers Facebook group to find out more about mailchimp.

Also easier to keep below the mailchimp free limit of subscribers. Algorithms favour interaction. I'm getting around a 60 % open rate on my monthly mail shot.
