- First, select the target audience of your email - you can send email to all contacts in your account, or to a group of contacts by label or up to 20 email addresses that you can type in the relevant box.
If you do not yet have contacts in your account, you can import a list - To import contacts into the system, click here.
- Write a subject for your newsletter up to 150 characters.
Tip: One of the most important elements in the newsletter is the subject. The subject line will decide whether or not the recipients will open your email. We recommend that you spend some time drafting the title.
- Define your e-mail address to which you want to receive your email responses.
Advanced options
- Under Advanced Options, you can add preview text to be displayed in the recipients' mailbox after the subject line. You can also change the sender's name.
- If you like, you can give your campaign an internal name that will only appear to you under "Pages".
