How to Select Contacts for an Email Marketing Campaign in PhotoBiz

Overview

PhotoBiz Email Marketing is included with your Website Package and allows you to send up to 10,000 marketing emails per month at no additional cost. When sending a campaign, you can choose exactly who receives your email by selecting specific groups of contacts. This helps you target the right audience and improve engagement.

In this guide, you will learn how to choose your recipients using contact filters such as All Contacts, Type, Tag, or Custom selections. By the end, you will be able to confidently control who receives your email campaigns.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Contacts who have unsubscribed or whose email address has previously bounced will automatically be excluded from all email marketing campaigns. No additional action is required to remove them.

STEP ONE

STEP TWO

Click on the name of the email marketing campaign you want to send. This will open the campaign builder.
