Personalizing a Direct Mail Message

You can personalize e-mail messages to users by using an Active Server Page (ASP) that has been designed for personalization. For example, you could include the first name of the user in a personal greeting. Special text can be added to the ASP page for delivery. If personalization is not specified, the direct mail message is delivered as a plain HTML page.

  2. In the Campaign Manager screen, select the direct mail campaign you want to personalize and click Open on the toolbar.
