How to resend a campaign to those who did not open the original

Did you know that resending your emails can increase your open rate by up to 30%? The easiest and most efficient way to resend a campaign to those who did not open the original is by creating an Auto resend campaign.

An auto resend campaign is like a regular campaign, except it automatically resends to subscribers who did not open it the first time. The second version of the campaign can have a different subject, come with a personal message, or even have completely different content.

Auto resend campaigns must be set up ahead of time. If you have already created and sent a campaign and wish to resend it, skip to instructions on how to manually resend a regular campaign.

1. Navigate to the Campaigns page.

2. Click Create campaign.

3. Select Auto resend campaign.

4. Give your campaign a name (for internal use only).

5. You can then choose how you would like your second campaign to differ from the original.

You can choose:

• Email subject - Your campaign will resend with a different subject.

• Email subject and personal message - Your campaign will resend with a different subject and an additional personal message above the campaign body. This makes the re-sent version of your campaign appear to have been forwarded.

• Email subject and email content - Edit the content of the campaign as well as the email subject. You can choose to make minor changes, or you can make the second version of the campaign entirely different from the original.

Once you have selected your auto resend settings, you can enter your email subjects for the first and second campaigns, and fill out the rest of the fields before clicking Next:Content.
