Before sending any emails, all LBS Email Marketers should view a series of recorded webinars, which are part of the ClickDimensions Academy: Week 1: ULR: http://help.clickdimensions.com/clickdimensions-academy/clickdimensions- academy-cd101-videos/#tabs-1-2 Password: cda101!

Please use the process outlined below to create a bespoke list. This process applies to all groups you want to create for bulk or automated emails sent through ClickDimensions. For example: enquiry generation campaigns event invites automated follow-ups automated lead nurturing campaigns cross sell campaigns eBSR newsletter. NOTE – Before you start building your target lists, make sure you are familiar with the key terminology (see Appendix 1) and the Advanced Find Tool (see WALT). Large lists NOTE – If you are planning to send a mailing to a list that has more than 30k contacts on it, you should communicate this to the ClickDimensions User Group to ensure that multiple large emails are not all scheduled to go out at the same time. NOTE – you need to limit the size of the groups that you send your mailing to: around 50k contacts in total for a static lists around 70k contacts in total for a dynamic lists. We have these limits because sending the emails from MSD CRM/ClickDimensions relies on the processing capacity of the World Wide Web. MSD CRM and our data is hosted entirely online. The bigger the Marketing List, the more processing required. If your list is too big for the web to handle, it times out. This is compounded if the email is a large file with lots of images or attachments. The 70k limit on list size is a guideline only. The actual maximum list size at any one point in time is dependent upon the processing capacity available at that time. For example, if you send your email first thing in the morning, before the US wakes up, you might find that you can get away with a bigger list. We didn’t have this issue with SmartMARKETER because they host our data, which cuts out a step in the processing, but creates other problems. ClickDimensions - User Guide for LBS Email Marketers using MSD CRM 8 Where you are sending large emails, be aware that they can take considerable time to process and you may need to wait overnight before ClickDimensions updates. If your list is dynamic and greater than 5,000 records, you can get a one-off count by coping the list to a static list. To break up your list into smaller chunks, you will need to use some criteria that ensures that uploads/Marketing/ msd-crm-clickdimensions-user-guide.pdf
