  2. Save Your Changes: Press “Save” after making the necessary changes to the subject and preheader.

Creating Email Content

Finalizing Your Campaign

  1. Review and Customize: After saving your email template, proceed to the Campaign Setup screen. Review all the information you’ve entered. Use the editing buttons on the right-hand side to make any necessary adjustments.
  2. Send Test Emails: Before sending the campaign to your entire list, test it by sending preview emails to yourself and a colleague. Check how the email appears across different browsers and devices to ensure it displays as intended.
  3. Compliance Check: Ensure your email complies with Zoho’s standards by reviewing the compliance requirements. Click “Why?” to understand the review process. This step helps prevent potential issues before sending.
  4. Schedule or Send Email: Choose one of the delivery options provided after your email is approved. You can schedule the email for a future date or send it immediately.

Post-Campaign Review

  1. View Summary Report: After sending your campaign, check the summary report on the campaign preview page. This report provides statistics on delivered, opened, clicked, and unsubscribed emails. You can also view this report within Zoho CRM if you have the Campaigns module activated.
  2. Analyze and Follow Up: Use the report to evaluate your campaign’s performance. Focus on the most engaged leads and follow up with them.

By following these steps, you’ll be able to harness the full potential of Zoho Campaigns for your one-time email marketing initiatives.
