Adding a Direct Mail Campaign Item

You use the Campaign Manager module to create and manage direct e-mail advertising campaigns. A direct mail campaign can be targeted toward specific users by using mailing lists that reside in List Manager. You use the Campaign Manager module to create new direct mail campaigns, personalize messages, add attachments to your direct mail messages, and modify direct mail properties. You can also test your direct mail lists before sending them to production.

The following workflow illustrates a sample scenario for creating and managing a direct mail campaign:
