Overview

A campaign is a collection of marketing activities that includes emails, email workflows, web plugins, print media, online ad campaigns, or any combination of the above. You can use supplier-provided campaigns or create your own. By creating campaigns, you will be able to gather data in one place for all the marketing activity around a specific product or service.

Through Zift123, suppliers provide campaigns to partners that are organized around the products, industries, and solutions that matter to your business. You can find these supplier-provided campaigns under Browse Campaigns. Using the campaigns provided by your supplier, helps you promote brand standards and execute campaigns quickly and efficiently. Think of the campaign as the container that will hold all the activities, emails, plugins, print media, social, associated with the campaign.

After selecting the campaign, add Activities and activate the Activities for your campaign.  After activating the activity you will Personalize, add Contacts, and Schedule the campaign activities.
