How do you add the first name in mail chimp

To add a first name to a Mailchimp campaign, you'll need to set up a merge tag in your campaign. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Method 1: Using a Merge Tag

1. Log in to your Mailchimp account and create a new campaign or edit an existing one.
2. Click on the "Settings" icon (looks like a gear) in the top right corner of the campaign builder.
3. Click on "Merge Tags" from the dropdown menu.
4. Click on "Add a Merge Tag" and select "First Name" from the list of available tags.
5. Choose the field where you want to display the first name (e.g., "Name", "Salutation", etc.).
6. Click "Save" to save the merge tag.

Method 2: Using a Personalization Block

1. Log in to your Mailchimp account and create a new campaign or edit an existing one.
2. Click on the "Content" tab in the campaign builder.
3. Click on the "Personalization" block (looks like a person icon).
4. Drag and drop the "First Name" block into your email template.
5. Customize the block as needed (e.g., change the text, font, etc.).
6. Click "Save" to save the changes.

Tips:

• Make sure you have a first name field set up in your Mailchimp list. If you don't have one, you can add it by going to "Lists" > "List fields" and clicking "Add a field".
• You can also use other merge tags, such as "Last Name", "Email Address", or "Company Name", to personalize your campaign.
• If you're using a template, you may need to update the template to include the first name merge tag.
