The purpose of a marketing campaign is to generate interest in a company’s products or services. Use the Campaigns module to track your target audience’s response, follow up on leads and keep customers engaged.

NOTE: The information in the ‘SUMMARY’ and ‘TARGETS & LEADS’ tabs will vary between a Legrand CRM Campaign and E-marketing Campaign from MailChimp or Constant Contact.

Campaign List

The Campaign List provides a list of all your marketing campaigns. Click on the column headers to sort the list and click-and-drag the columns to sort the columns in the sequence you prefer.

You can also show or hide specific columns in the campaign list. Click on the Settings icon and select the column to show or hide.

Search tools & Filters

Use the CLOSED/ACTIVE filter to switch between a list view of your active vs closed campaigns. If you create a Legrand CRM Campaign, you can filter by type. You can also search for a campaign using the search bar. Use the icon on the right to clear all filters and searches.

Type of Campaign

• Legrand CRM Campaign: You define the campaign’s type, assign contacts from your CRM as ‘Targets’, and use the configurable ‘Status Lists’ to record your target audience’s response and Leads’ status in Legrand CRM.

• E-Marketing Campaign from MailChimp or Constant Contact: Sync mailing lists to MailChimp or Constant Contact, deliver your campaign in MailChimp or Constant Contact, and download campaign results into Legrand CRM. You can view the campaign’s open rate, click rate, and bounce rate in Legrand CRM and filter responses by open, click, forward, bounce or unsubscribe.
