I just launched a Shopify store for my new hat company. Sounds like this would help me measure blog article attribution? For the articles in the library, can I customize those for my brand? How does this work with Mailchimp?

2. Our article customization feature allows you to easily customize the licensed articles in the library before using instant publication to your blog. Our tool allows you to customize licensed articles in the following ways: - Change the Feature Image to a branded image - Adjust the Title to whatever works best for your brand's voice - Add a branded blurb before or article the article. This includes the ability to link to other pages on your site! - (If you are on Shopify) Embed dynamic product listings directly into all your blog posts.

3. Matcha integrates with Mailchimp in the following ways: - Matcha Insights connects with Mailchimp to clearly show you the impact of using content in your mailchimp email campaigns and its effect on Open Rates and CTOR - Matcha's Subcriber's feature exports interest-based segment tags for your email subscribers directly into Mailchimp so that you can make targeted email campaigns

Does Matcha allow me to embed products in my existing blog articles?
Celia Quillian
@ryan_gaines1 Hi Ryan! Thank you for your question. If you are on Shopify, yes! After you connect your Shopify blog with Matcha, you can easily edit your existing content in the Matcha app to list your Shopify products or product collections. It's easily to create a global setting for all of your blogs, or individually customize your featured products for each blog post.

Wow! Looks great. With Matcha’s platform I can embed products from my Shopify store into blogs, capture more emails, and see how many sales came from content? All for free?
Celia Quillian
@thomas_shields Hi Thomas! That's correct. All of these features are free forever for new users that sign up during the crisis. We're on a mission to help businesses convert content into commerce, and we want to help them do it at no cost to them during these difficult times.

Awesome initiative. What size of eCom shops do you think best benefit from Matcha Free?
