Once you have defined the target and created the content of a message, you need to prepare and test your deliveries’ content, personalization, rendering and configuration. This allows you to make sure that everything is correct before sending the message to the main target. To do this, multiple functionalities are available like preview, proofs, email subject line testing, or email rendering.
Once marketing campaigns have been executed and the different messages have been sent, monitor them using logs to check the success of your campaign, and retrieve tracking information on the recipients.
Finally, leverage deliverability guidelines and tools available in Campaign Standard to improve the number of delivered messages and ensure successful marketing campaigns.
Prepare and test prepare-test-send
Campaign Standard message preparation analyzes the target, the personalization and the validity of the message. Errors detected during this step must be corrected before being able to proceed further.
Preview and test your messages using various capabilities: send proofs to test profiles or tageted profiles, test your emails’ subject line, and check the rendering of your messages to make sure that it will display in an optimal way on a variety of web clients, web mails and devices.
Leverage Campaign scheduling capabilities to define when your messages will be sent. For example, you can adapt sending at the recipient’s timezone, optimize the sending time or compute the sending date.
Use typologies to check during the preparation wether your message is valid and meets your quality criteria through fatigue, control and targeting rules. For example, to check that your emails always contain a subject line, or to exclude unsubscribers from the message recipients.
