Mailchimp Customer Journey is a feature that enables you to build an automated path of email campaigns. A customer journey starts from the time he joins your email list to the day he opts out of your emails list.
Example of Customer Journey
Customer Journey Stage 1: Jane subscribers to your email list (she is added to Stage 1 of email list subscribers in your customer journey).
Customer journey Stage 2: After a while, you send a promotional email to Jane, she opens it and clicks on the product link (she is added to Stage 2 of active subscribers in your customer journey).
Customer Journey Stage 3: After a week Jane buys your product using the promotional link that you had sent her via email (She is added to Stage 3 of product buyers in your customer journey).
Customer Journey Stage 4: A day after buying your product you send Jane a thank you message with more offers on related products.
