Updated over 2 months ago

Description

The Newsletter mechanism is a registration form that allows your audience to subscribe to your newsletter. This mechanism can also be used as a simple form to collect data (email address, qualified data).

Configuration

To find out more about the very first steps in creating a campaign, we recommend that you start with the following article: General guide to a marketing campaign.

The Newsletter mechanism consists of the following sections:

  • Configuration: to determine the general parameters of the contact form.

  • Form: to choose the fields for your form and set its design parameters.

  • Installation: to activate and distribute your campaign to your audience.

To see the different options available for each section, we recommend you read the articles associated with them.

Newsletter design

Before getting started, we recommend that you read this article, which explains the basics of creating graphics on Socialshaker: Creating the graphics for your campaign.

As with all the other mechanics, you can choose between using the templates provided or importing your own template. If you choose the latter option, you will need to create the following elements for this mechanic:

  • Campaign background (1920x1080px recommended).

  • Desktop form background (810x700px recommended) and Mobile form background (480×710px recommended).

  • Thank you page background (810x700px recommended)

Note that you can use the campaign background as the default background for all pages on Mobile by ticking the appropriate box :

Thank you page

You can customise the thank you page, and offer a redirect button to participants. This allows you to offer your audience downloadable content, such as a guide, catalogue or live white paper.

Data export

You can export all the participant information directly from the Mechanics section.

Good to know: You can also export all the data for all the participants in your campaign from the Actions > Exports and Tracking section. To find out more, we recommend you read this article: Exporting data.

Q&A

Why can't I add rules to my newsletter campaign?

You cannot include rules in a campaign with the ‘Newsletter’ mechanic because it is not a competition. This mechanism is not designed to be a competition but a simple form. To create a competition-type form campaign, we recommend the Sweepstakes mechanic.
