Create an Email Campaign

Email campaigns are a great way to communicate with your prospects and customers. It is a popular and cost effective method of direct marketing, which allows you to convey your message and your brand. For this reason, we recommend utilising email campaigns for the following purposes;

• Newsletters
  
• Upcoming Promotions
  
• Special Events
  
• Holidays
  

As it typically takes contacts 48 hours to open their emails, we recommend that any time sensitive email marketing is always sent at least 2 days before the actual date.

Select the Email Channel to send through (You can also add additional channels such as SMS)

Enter a name for the Campaign Folder you'd like to save the campaign in.

Campaign Folders allow you to organise multiple campaigns that are related. For example, for a Valentine's Day promotion, you may choose to send out multiple email and sms campaigns. To manage the campaigns and view aggregate reporting, you can choose to create a folder called "Valentine's Day" and insert all campaigns (including automations) into this folder. When viewing analytics, you can choose to view on an individual campaign or as an aggregate for a whole
