Default 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.

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.

I'm not too concerned with getting blacklisted because The email would
go out
to less than 100 people.

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.

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. :-)

I would like to do the following:

Create Campaign A, B & C.
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.
