Step 1: Get the Marketing add on
Marketing email is part of the Marketing add on for Pro users. It is invite only right now. Contact us and we will turn it on for your account.
Step 2: Add your contacts and groups
Open Contacts in the console. Add each person with a name and email address. Make groups, like Customers or Newsletter, and put contacts into them.
Important: Only add people who agreed to get emails from you. People who unsubscribe cannot be added again.
Step 3: Design your email
Open Emails and create a new email design. Drag in a header, text, pictures and buttons. Keep one clear button for the main thing you want people to do.
Step 4: Create the campaign
Open Marketing email and start a new campaign. Pick your design, write a short and clear subject line, and choose who gets it: all contacts, some groups, or only the people you tick.
Step 5: Send now or schedule
Press send now, or pick a date and time in UTC. Emails are sent from marketing.anselforms.com with your brand name, and replies go to your own email.
Step 6: Track your results
The campaign list shows how many emails were sent, opened and clicked, and how many were skipped. Use these numbers to make your next email campaign even better.
