We are pleased to announce a new email marketing feature for Suite26, the first of many improvements and new functionality to be added in the coming weeks, aiming to make your email marketing more effective.

Today’s new feature is quite simply a button that lets you resend a campaign to those contacts that didn’t open the original email, therefore reducing the time and effort it used to take before. Sorry about that.

This new feature works by automatically placing these ‘unopened’ contacts into a new group for you, which you can rename and then select when scheduling your campaign to resend.

How to use this auto ‘create new group’ feature:

1. Go into the report for the campaign you previously sent and underneath the ‘More Reports’ section, click on ‘Not Opened Report’.

2. At the bottom of the list of contacts displayed, click on the new link titled ‘Create a new group with these contacts’.

3. A message bar will then appear saying the contacts are being importing into a new group and might take a few minutes.

4. Refresh your screen after a few minutes and you’ll see a new contact group has been generated, which you can rename if wish.

5. To resend the email campaign, go to Send/Schedule Campaign and simply select the new contact group of unopened contacts.

If you have any questions or need any help using this feature, please call Mark on 0845 313 0912.

Email Marketing Tip:

We have recently noticed that some web browsers are stopping the export contacts task from completing, therefore leaving some customers wondering where their downloaded file has gone. Fear not, here is how you can retrieve it:

- Click on Contacts in the top menu
- On the Contacts dashboard, find the widget box called Recent Contact Exports
- If it’s not on your dashboard, click on Add Widget
- In the Recent Contact Exports widget there will be a record of your recent export

- Click on Details
- Click on Download File

This will now give you your export contacts on a CSV file.

Suite26 now allows you to send (or preview) a campaign to more than one of your contact groups in one go.

When sending or previewing a campaign you will now see tickboxes instead of a drop down list for selecting the contact group(s) you wish to send to.  Suite26 will automatically ensure that contacts which are in more than one of the groups you select only receive your e-mail once.
