Send emails and offers through Contacts or Artworks
There are tools to allow you to share information with your clients through both the Contacts section and the Artworks section of your database.
In Artworks
The Sell/Offer/Share button at the bottom of your Artworks page allows you to email your found set of Artwork records to one or many contacts.
Click 'Email selected items' to send an email and record an offer.
In Contacts
The Send emails/offers button at the bottom of your Contacts page allows you to:
- Send an email.
- Record an offer.
- Send an email campaign. This option allows you to select a campaign that you’ve built through Sales & Marketing > Email Marketing Campaigns > Mailing campaigns to your found set of contact records. Make sure to search and flag every contact that you wish to send a campaign to before clicking 'Email found set'.
How to create and send bulk mailing campaigns
Email campaigns are created and sent using two distinct steps in your database. First, you will need to design an email to send and out and, after this, you will create a mailing campaign to send it.
Detailed steps
Compose a new campaign
Create a mailing design by going to Sales & Marketing > Email Marketing Campaigns > Compose/edit Emails > New record.
Mailing campaign
Show composed mass emails and send a campaign by going to Sales & Marketing > Email Marketing Campaigns > Mailing Campaigns > New record.
