E-mail activity assets

E-mail activities provide Marketing Managers with a method by which they can perform direct marketing to customers using e-mail. The e-mail activities can deliver highly targeted messages to select subsets of your customer base. The following diagram illustrates how experiments fit into the WebSphere Commerce Server.

Email Initiative

The Email initiative object represents an e-mail activity.

Email Message

Each Email initiative has an associated Email Message object. This represents the content of the e-mail. This single message can be created using e-Marketing Spots so that the content is dynamically generated based on the target customer, thereby delivering personalized content to each customer.

CustomerList

Each Email initiative has an associated CustomerList object. This represents the list of the target customers, to whom the e-mail is delivered. This list can be obtained from one or more target customer segments, or from an explicit list of customers generated for this purpose.

Customer Profile

The Customer Profile object represents the customer segments targeted by the e-mail activity.
