Creating Internal Lists

The contacts or prospects you target for each campaign vary depending on the campaign objective. For example, you may want to select the contacts who have a certain job title or live in a specific ZIP or Postal Code. In another campaign, you may want to combine sets of contacts or prospects that were selected by several different criteria into a single list.

You create an internal list of contacts or prospects in the List Management screen using the Contacts or Prospects view. You can also use these views to add contacts or prospects to existing lists.

NOTE:  To create an internal list, your employee login must have a responsibility associated with it that includes the List Management views.

You can reuse lists in any number of campaigns or marketing programs.
