PART I – CUSTOMIZING YOUR MARKETING LIST OPTIONS
Q: Why do I need to customize my marketing list field options?
A: There are hundreds of potential fields that you may include in marketing lists. So you do not have to sort through the hundreds of options (some of which may never be applicable to your targeting efforts) each time you build a new marketing list, we have designed the program so you can perform a one-time customization. Follow the below steps to establish the marketing list fields you may want to include in a list!
Step 1: Hover over Settings near the top of your screen.
Step 2: In the drop down menu, click on Marketing List Fields.
Step 3: You should now be looking at the Select Marketing List Fields pop-up.
- Selecting the first circle, Export fields that can be used in marketing lists, means you are choosing the actual columns (i.e., fields) that will potentially make-up the list. In other words, all the information you want to pull for each credit union that you are trying to target.
- Selecting the second circle, Financial criteria that can be used to filter your marketing lists, means you are choosing the potential financial criteria that you may use to shape the group of credit unions you intend to target.
Step 4: Proceeding under the assumption that you have selected the first circle, now you may start choosing the marketing list fields. The right hand list (Fields In Your Marketing List) contains the default fields that you may later choose from when you actually build a marketing list.
- Use the Categories drop down to sort through the list options.
- When you click on any category in the drop down, the available fields will populate in the left hand list, Available Fields (not already used).
- To select the fields you may include in future marketing lists, double click on the field name or use the blue arrows. As you make your selections, they will appear in the right hand list.
Step 5: Once you are satisfied with the Step 4 selections, select the second circle, Financial criteria that can be used to filter your marketing lists. Please note that the right hand list now contains the default financial criteria.
- Use the Categories drop down to sort through the list options.
- When you click on any category in the drop down, the available financial criteria will populate in the left hand list, Available Fields (not already used).
- To select the financial criteria you may use to target specific credit unions, double click on the field name or use the blue arrows. As you make your selections, they will appear in the right hand list.
Step 6: Once satisfied with your selections, click Save Criteria Formulas.
