1. What is CampaignBreeze? CampaignBreeze is a powerful web-based email marketing tool. An email campaign is very similar to an email you would send from your everyday email account. The two main differences are that campaigns are created and edited from templates using an HTML editor, and you can access a significant amount of data about your campaigns via reporting statistics. Once a campaign has been sent, you can access details about who has viewed, clicked and replied to your campaign. With this information, you can then refine your future marketing strategy. This is the home screen you will see after logging into your CampaignBreeze account:

A print friendly page can be created for each campaign. It is not a required component, but you can insert print friendly content if you wish to include a link to a print friendly version for your recipients. Click the Print Friendly text link in the menu bar, and insert your content in the space provided. You also must use the Add Link icon from the editing toolbar to create a link to the print friendly page (Add Link > Other Pages > Print Friendly). The plain text page represents the plain text content for the campaign. Every campaign is sent from the system as a multi-part message – including both HTML content and plain text content. Which content displays for any given recipient is determined by the settings on their email client and/or device. Click the Plain Text link in the menu bar to review the default plain text message. To edit the plain text content for a specific campaign, make your changes directly to the text displayed. Note that the view tag and the opt out tag must be included somewhere in the plain text content so that recipients have access to view and unsubscribe. Click the Insert View Tag or Insert Opt Out Tag button to place these elements. To edit the default plain text content used for all campaigns:

Content The main area of the page is where you can edit your content. To make changes to your campaign, you will need to work within the editable areas. Editable areas are identified by a red dotted outline. Content outside of an editable area cannot be changed. Click inside any editable area to begin modifying the content of your campaign. The editing toolbar provides a host of features to make editing your HTML content easy.

The editing toolbar is similar to many word editing software programs. There are a few features that are very useful in creating a campaign:

Save ( )

Remove Format ( ): Highlight content, and then click this icon to remove all background HTML code. Use this icon if you are having trouble formatting text.

Set Toolbar Position ( ): Select where the editing toolbar appears on your screen: o Follow Me (default): The toolbar will appear above the editable area you are working in. o Float at the top: The toolbar will stay at the top of the page and float down if you scroll the

page down. o Stay where I put you: The toolbar will stay where you place it. You can move the toolbar

by clicking and dragging.

Add Link ( ): Insert a link in your campaign to a URL, Email Address, Other Pages, Surveys, and Social Networks.

Remove Link ( ): Highlight a link, and then click this icon to remove the link from the content.

Insert Image or Attach File ( ): Launch the Content Library to upload images and/or files. You can upload multiple images and files at once.

Properties ( ): Select an image or area, and then click on this icon to display the properties for the selected item. You can also access the properties by right clicking the selected object.

HTML Mode ( ): Display and edit the HTML code for the area. IMPORTANT TIP When you have text in an external source (such as Microsoft Word or a website) that you wish to use in a campaign, you should first highlight/select the specific text you want to bring into the campaign, copy it and paste it into Notepad or another plain text editor. This will remove all of the background HTML from the content and leave you only with the text content. This is important because if you paste content directly from an external source such as a webpage or word processing program you risk pasting background HTML that may cause problems with your campaign.
