Do not delete your current newsletter audience list. If you need to update your contacts, use the same list.

 

If you have contacts you don't want, and you want to start with a fresh list, simply ARCHIVE all your current contacts. Then upload a new list of contacts. New subscribers will be added. Any duplicates will automatically be "unarchived" for you (made active again). Anyone not re-added will remain archived.

 

NOTE: In Mailchimp, your UNSUBSCRIBED contacts count towards your numbers for billing. If you want to reduce your audience size for the purpose of keeping your billing costs down, you must ARCHIVE your unsubscribed contacts.

If you have your clients in a CRM that does not have an integration with Mailchimp (or if you have many thousands of subscribers and don't want to use Mailchimp in addition to your CRM), you can export the newsletter and paste it into your CRM.
