The name of the game in marketing now is targeting. The more targeted your campaigns, the better they'll perform. 💸

But what is a targeted campaign?

Targeting in marketing simply means you're segmenting your contacts into a group based on the type of message you're sending them.

For example, sending a promotion out? You should target past customers or recent sign-ups.

Or running a specific promotion at a certain location? Target customers in certain area codes who are most likely to come by.

You'll accomplish targeted messaging in messageDesk by using a combination of Filtered Groups and Broadcasts.

Filtered Groups allow you to group contacts together based on shared information. Such as all people with a certain area code, last payment date or based on past purchase behavior.

With your query in Filtered Groups, you can target any of the information you have assigned to each contact, including custom fields.

If you are an organization with multiple storefront locations, consider doing a messaging campaign based off of your contacts ZIP code.

Once your Filtered Group is created you'll be able to schedule messages and set up text message campaigns to it through Broadcasts.
