Create an Email Campaign

Email campaigns allow you to send offers to accounts via email. When accounts receive an email campaign, they can click on any of the Call-to-Action buttons to instantly access the live Sales Menu.

Email campaigns can be sent to multiple accounts simultaneously at designated times. After an email campaign has been sent, you can view campaign metrics such as Bounce Rate, Open Rate, Unopened Rate, and Click Through Rate on the campaign's detail page.
