By Popular Demand: Scheduled Email Blasts
The majority of FeedBlitz’s mailings are driven via blogs – so the simplest way to schedule a mailing with FeedBlitz is to set the list’s mailing schedule to Express, and simply schedule your posts. Done and done, works great.
But, that said, we’ve often been asked to allow newsflashes – a traditional email blast to just the list – to be schedulable too. So (drum roll, please…) now they are! When you set up a Newsflash – a non-blog mailing (a.k.a. an “email blast”) sent to your list – you now have the option to send it immediately, or at some future date. Scheduled mailings appear on each list’s dashboard in the “Mailing Activity” tile, where you can change the blast’s content and schedule as long as it hasn’t started yet.
When a scheduled subscriber mailing begins, FeedBlitz will let you know with (what else?) an email. You can schedule multiple mailings for a single list, or indeed for any list you’re managing at FeedBlitz for any of your sites. All FeedBlitz’s standard newsflash email marketing capabilities – segmentation, personalization and suppression lists – are available on scheduled mailings as well.
Scheduled email blasts are perfect for email marketing campaigns targeting your just email subscribers that you want to set up in advance. Give them a whirl, why not? Available from your list’s dashboard, via the honking great green “Send a Mailing” button, upper right.
