Campaign Types

Email Campaign

A coordinated set of emails sent to achieve a specific marketing goal.

Definition

An email campaign is a planned series of one or more emails sent to a targeted group of subscribers to achieve a specific objective. Campaigns can range from a single promotional blast to a multi-email nurture sequence. Each campaign typically has defined goals, audience segments, messaging, and success metrics.

Why It Matters

Email campaigns are the core of email marketing. They allow you to strategically communicate with your audience to drive specific outcomes like sales, signups, engagement, or education. Well-planned campaigns outperform random sends by focusing resources on measurable goals.

How It Works

Campaigns start with defining a goal (increase sales, announce a feature, etc.) and identifying the target audience. You create the email content, set up any automation triggers, and schedule the send. After sending, you track performance metrics and optimize future campaigns based on results.
