First login to your account
Click ‘Create Campaigns’ in the Campaign Center box on the right side of the screen,
On the “Create Email Campaign” page, click “Submit” after filling in the following fields:
Important Tip! Your email should be short. No more than a couple short paragraphs maximum. Long emails will turn off participants. Also, representatives may not read a long email and therefore not see the participants’ personal statements at the end (the most important part).
Important Tip! If there is only one recipient, use their name in the salutation. If there are multiple recipients, use a general salutation to address the group.
Note: This text will be followed by the participant’s contact information and personal statement.
Important Tip! Multiple email addresses must be separated by a comma or space.
Important Tip! Check all email addresses to make sure they are valid before launching your campaign. To check email addresses, send a test email to your targeted email list from your own email account. If an email bounces back to your account, do not use it in your campaign. Remember: it may take a while before you get an error message regarding an invalid email address (up to a couple hours)
After you submit your campaign, CitizenSpeak presents you with your campaign’s unique web page address. From your email program (MS Outlook, Eudora…) email the web page address to your members and ask them to participate in your campaign.
Sample Text:
“Dear Member: Please click on the following link (your campaign’s unique web address) to send a direct email to (target name) asking him/her to support our cause.”
