Setting up Campaign

Once your list and forms are set, you are ready to go for creating an email campaign. You can run email campaigns to send your marketing messages to the subscribers opted for your marketing messages. In FluentCRM, an email campaign is a bulk email marketing campaign that sent to many contacts at once instantly or in a scheduled time defined by you. This is as easy as add a template, add the content, design the template, select your audience group, and then send it off to your subscribers.

Things to do before you start an email campaign with FluentCRM

• Firstly make sure you have subscribers in your contact lists. If you don’t have subscribers in your contact lists, import your contacts into FluentCRM or grow your audience with a signup form.
• Be sure to set up your business settings or email settings before you start sending your first email campaign.

Go to Email Campaigns tab, click on the Create New Campaign button.

Now give a Title and click Continue.
