Creating Email Campaigns | Online Help - Zoho Marketing Plus

Creating Email Campaigns

Every marketing project involves different activities such as email campaigns, social posts, webinars, surveys, events, and SMS campaigns. These activities can be created for a marketing project from the Brand Studio.

Email campaigns

Campaigns in Marketing Plus offers the complete toolkit to meet your marketing needs from creating responsive designs to customizing messages and connecting with new customers. Campaigns can be created from the Brand Studio of a marketing project. You can create a Regular Campaign or an Advanced Campaign.
  1. Regular Campaign: This option lets you send an email campaign to a group of contacts or schedule it for a specific date and time.
