Create A Subscriber List

The first thing you then need to do is create a mailing list and import your subscribers.

You can name the subscriber list on the below page, and specify list type.

After you have named your list, you are then brought to the below screen where you can import your subscriber information.

subscribers

Once you have selected the add subscribers option, you can then import subscribers.

import

If using a word document you can simply copy and paste the subscriber list directly. However we would advise you to create an Excel document and upload them via the indicated path. It is important that each email address you import does not contain any spelling errors, commas or spaces. If you are using an Excel file, it is also vital to ensure that all details are contained on one sheet.

After you have successfully imported your subscribers, you will then see the below confirmation screen.

Subscribe test

The software within Ezine.ie allows you to create multiple lists of subscribers. You can manage your email subscribers via the ‘Lists & Subscribers’ page.

Manage subscribers

It is very easy to create more lists, and check how many recipients are within each list that you have created.

Create A Campaign

After you have successfully uploaded the details of your subscribers, you then need to create your email marketing campaign. To start this process you need to click on the below tab.

Create campaign
You then need to create a name for your campaign, and also add what content you want to have displayed in the subject line of the email. And you have the option to change who the campaign is from, if for example you operate more than one business.

Create The Email Content

The next stage is to actually create the content that will be displayed in the header and body of the email, and decide what images (if any) you want to use.

Template builder

When you get to this page you can choose either to upload your own email template or use our dedicated template builder. We would strongly advise those with limited experience of creating email marketing campaigns to start by using our template builder.

You then simply select the layout option that you require. We would recommend selecting the ‘Simple Announcement’ or ‘Basic Newsletter’ template.
