Partnerships – Partner Campaign List

Marketing communication is one of the core features of the BNTouch CRM. In the Marketing tab, you can design new campaigns, browse materials to use from the Content Exchange, upload documents to send out, and more, but you can also handle campaigns one-at-a-time for each of your Partners.

In the “Partnerships” tab, you can open a partner’s record by clicking their blue “Name” link. In the “Campaigns” sub-tab here, you can see campaigns that are active for a partner, start new campaigns for them, temporarily pause a campaign, or skip individual campaign steps.

At the top of the “Campaigns” sub-tab, the first button available, “Start Campaign”, lets you begin any marketing campaign for the selected partner. If you do not see this button, you may not have Marketing access to your account; this feature can be enabled by your Administrator.

When you click this button, you will see a list of any campaigns you have added to your account that haven’t been started already for this partner. Once you find one you want to start, you can choose a “Start Date” time for the campaign. If this is a past date, the campaign will start automatically when you click the “Start Campaign” button below. Otherwise, clicking this button will begin the campaign for the client on the specified date.

Below, any automated marketing campaigns that have triggered for the partner will appear. Campaigns that have been manually added to the record will also be listed here. Basic information for each campaign will display below, including the start and finish date of campaigns, whether they were triggered automatically or manually started, and the status of the campaign for this partner. Campaigns that are “Active” will appear with black text, and those that have already “Finished” will be lightly greyed-out.

Active campaigns can be temporarily paused for a client by clicking the “Pause” link to the right. These can be resumed at any time by clicking the new “Run” link. Alternatively, campaign progress can be stopped and reset using the “Remove” option. This will halt any further progress for the partner in this campaign, but they can be manually added back to the campaign or added again by meeting trigger criteria. If a partner meets the trigger conditions for a campaign that you do not wish for them to receive, you may wish to “Pause” the campaign instead of “Remove” to avoid simply re-starting it automatically. Multiple campaigns can be stopped at the same time using the checkboxes to the left and the “Delete Selected” button above the list.

You can see all of the steps for a campaign by clicking the blue “Name” link in this list. This will show which steps have already taken place and which are still pending according to the checkboxes to the left of each step. For steps that have already occurred, you can use the “Run Again” link to the right to resubmit the marketing material. Steps that have yet to occur will instead have a “Skip” link to the right, which you can use to bypass individual steps for individual partners.
