Continuing the blog series of
Building Communication Channels for Personalized Engagements
Here we are going to create a campaign to
invite your existing customer base to join the Communication Category.
You should
define the target group that is relevant for your communication channel or newsletter. This invite might not relevant to all your customer base so you can restrict it with proper contact segmentation and specific target group.
On this example, we will create an email with a link to the Landing Page and build a simple Email Campaign with a predefined target group.
Creating an Email with a Landing Page
On
Content Studio App, select the content type
Email and define
Name, Marketing Area and Language.
If you have an HTML email already created, you can upload it here already. Otherwise, let's create the content.
In this example, I am using an screenshot of the video that was used on the previous Landing Page. We will also
include a link to the Landing Page on the image and on the text, so if the contact clicks on the video it will take them to the Landing Page.
Creating a Campaign for Invitation
After Releasing the
Email, you can click directly on
New Campaign. On the Campaign you can define the
Target Group, Marketing Area and Dates for this campaign.
On
Campaign Automation, make sure you have the right
Target Group and
Email Content. By default the Campaign will be executed Immediatelly, make sure you
review Campaign properties before Starting the campaign.
Once Campaign is reviewed, click on
Start.
After Campaign is executed, the contacts in the Target Group should receive the email invitation.
In this example, if the contact clicks on the image or registration link. It will take them to the
Landing Page.
Note that this Landing Page is hosted in SAP Marketing Cloud. Customers usually embedd this on their own websited for better user experience.
