1. Getting Started Checklist

Getting Started Checklist

There are six steps to setting up a campaign, included in the checklist:

1. Add an email account Add the email account you will be sending emails from, including a signature and compliance statement, with an unsubscribe link.

2. Create a campaign Create your first campaign. This also shows you briefly what is required to set up a campaign and some optional steps you might want to take.

3. Add your messaging sequence Build your campaign sequence by adding your email templates and setting wait times between your email sends.

4. Configure your sending schedule Specify who your emails will be sent from and when they will be sent.

5. Create an audience and import prospects Use Outbase's Audience builder, our extensive professional profile database, to source and verify email addresses for your ideal prospects.

6. Activate your campaign Start sending your campaign and wait for the responses to start pouring in!

For all six of the steps above, the Getting Started Checklist offers three different methods of self-service support:

• Read the Guide This will open the Getting Started Guide (opens in a new tab), where you can follow along with the step-by-step instructions to get your campaign up and running in no time. This guide also provides more in-depth detail for adding email accounts, broken down by provider.

• Take the Tour This will launch the tour that will guide you through setting everything up, meaning you never need to leave the tab you're currently using!

• Watch the Video This will play a short video that shows you what to do at each step, with a screen recording. None of the videos are more than a few minutes long, so it really is that easy!

With these three options to choose from, there's sure to be something to suit everyone!
