Campaigns....
Outlook is a personal information manager, not a campaign manager but there
are a couple of addins that do what you want. see http://www.slipstick.com/addins/contact_management.asp - I believe prophet does it. There are other campaign and workflow managers listed also. I don't recall if BCM can do this. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

Schorr - MVP (OneNote)" wrote: You can get blacklisted sending e-mail to 3 people. It just takes enough of them to complain and report you to a spamlisting authority. MS hasn't set up anything like this because it's not a very common request and BECAUSE of the massive push-back against e-mail marketing the value of a feature like this is increasingly limited. That said... The easiest solution is to do your campaign mailings on specific dates instead of specific intervals. If you don't want to do it that way then you'd probably need to incorporate a custom field in which you enter (either manually or with custom code) the date of last mailing. Then you'd need to script the ability to read that field, calculate the delta and send the appropriate message at the appropriate time. Or you might check he http://www.slipstick.com/addins/mail.asp#massmail and see if somebody else has already written something you could use. -- -Ben- Ben M.

That being said, I don't understand why MS has not set up something like this. I understand that i could create Category A and then send them an email and put them on the same campaign. But that would defeat the purpose of creating letters in a particular order. Why can't MS incorporate this? There are a number of companies already doing this but i do not wish to buy their product because I'm not able to synch the info with my PDA. It is a simple process that they could build: Have a holding area for a campaign Then have a drop down menu in the Contact that you can pick which campaign you would like to start with that particular contact. There is a major need for this. "Ben M. Schorr - MVP (OneNote)" wrote: What version of Outlook are you using? You can use categories to assign contacts to different levels (A, B, C). Sending the e-mails to a category of people isn't that hard, but it would be hard to track which Category A person got a message 30 days ago versus 25 days ago versus 17 days ago, etc. Before we go too far with this, are you going to have consent from these prospects and buyers to send them e-mail every 30 days? Otherwise it sounds like a good way to get yourself blacklisted as a spammer; and that won't be good for business. :-) -- -Ben- Ben M.

I meet Buyer X, put them in contacts, assign campaign A. So Now Buyer X will receive emails every 30 days from the time I entered them into contacts. Somewhere down the line I want to change that campaign from A to B. So on and So on. The campaigns, for example, are for a A. potential buyer, B. buyer, C. buyer under contract. Now everyday that I open outlook each buyer will be at a different email in the system and will be on diferent days. This is also a drip campaign. For One person. Not for a group and Its not a one time use. Its on going. Thanks you. |
