How to create a marketing campaign

PivoHub's campaign tool allows you to facilitate the communication with your customers through the use of marketing campaigns.

What is an email campaign?
An email campaign is a message mainly used for marketing that you can send to several customers at once and that can have different objectives. 

Objectives such as...? 

You could use an email campaign to announce some big news, the launch of new products or even special prices. Using a campaign can remind your customers that you still exist and encourage them to order from you. 

What do MailChimp and MailJet have to do with all this and what are they anyway? 

You will notice that you will not be able to send your campaign directly from PivoHub. In fact, sending mass emails requires specific set-ups that our platform is unable to offer at this point. So for now, PivoHub can help you build your campaign (design and content) and extract the list of customers you wish to target. You can then import your creation into external platforms like MailChimp or MailJet, who are specifically designed to let you send email campaigns to a wide audience.

Caution: Make sure you have an active relationship with all the retailers included in the group you choose. By using the "all" group you risk sending the campaign to retailers who have not consented to receiving it.
