NETGEN is loaded with pre-created Campaigns created by the marketing department and ready to use to help communicate to your leads. To advance your marketing abilities, you can also Build‐Your‐Own Campaigns. A Campaign can consist of several NETGEN components: Print Marketing Material [MG], Web Page(s) [WG], a [LG]Lead Category, [LG] Lead Signup Form, and [LG] Email Messages.
Here is how these components are connected to create a full circle campaign:
A Print Marketing piece is created in Marketing Generator. Let’s say it’s a Flyer promoting a specific product. On the Flyer is a destination web page URL, (Example: www.builder.mykiiera.com/promo) that a prospect can visit to learn more. Once a prospect visits that web page, they are prompted to take action, through either “purchasing” product or filling out a Lead Signup Form. After the prospect submits the Lead Signup Form, the lead data automatically drops into a “Lead Category” in your Lead Generator account. The Lead Category triggers scheduled drip Email Messages that are written to communicate a specific message, and again drive prospects to take action. This is full circle marketing. The print material drives the prospect to a web page. The web page has a Lead Signup Form that captures the leads information. The Lead Signup Form is connected to a Category. The Category triggers scheduled drip Email Messages that communicate and drive actions.
Lead Categories determine which Email Campaign will be triggered to your leads. An Email Campaign is a series of pre-created email messages designed to "drip" information to your leads and drive your leads to action. Each shared Lead Category has been created by your network administrator and has compliant email messages ready to be sent to your leads. In the Lead Categories block you will see the category name, the number of emails within that category and the number of leads within the category.
View Email Campaign:
Step 1: Click on the Category Name. The window will refresh.
Step 2: Under Email Campaign, you will see a list of emails and the schedule. The
schedule number represents the days from when the lead is placed in the
category that the email message will be triggered to the lead.
Step 3: Click Preview Email to view the email message.
Shared Email Campaigns:
Shared Lead Categories are campaigns that have been created by your network administrator and include compliant email messages that are compliant and cannot be edited. Shared email messages will include your My Signature.
Note: Your My Signature uses personal account information from fields in Account Settings.
Remember this key point: A Category determines which Email Messages a lead will receive and the schedule of when they are sent.
Add a Category:
Step 1: Click Add Category. A new window appears.
Step 2: Name the Category.
Step 3: Click Add Category. Your new category has been created.
Adding Email Messages to a Category
Step 1: Click on the name of the Category you created. A new Window will appear.
Step 2: To the right of Category Details, you will see E‐Mail Campaign.
Step 3: Click on Add Message. The Window will refresh and you will see two fields:
E-mail Message and Schedule.
Step 4: From the Email Message dropdown menu, choose the Email Message to be
added to this Category.
Step 5: From the Schedule dropdown menu, choose when you want this Email
Message to be sent. The “days” represent the days from when a Lead is
added to this Category. For Example: Immediately will be displayed as “0”.
3 Days will be displayed as “3”. Meaning, (3) days from when the lead is
added to the Category. As a rule, send out Email Messages every 3 days
for the first 15 days. This gives continual information for a lead to review
which increases lead response.
Step 6: Click “Save Changes”.
Follow Steps 4 through 6 and add a series of Email Messages to this Campaign.
Pre-written Email Message Campaigns are the back bone of Lead Generator. The marketing department has created and shared a series of compliant email messages to use when communicating with your leads. Shared email messages may be attached to a Category or sent individually to leads in the Lead Details of a lead under Send Message to Lead. Shared Email Messages will include your My Signature and may include dynamic links within the email content. When sent, these dynamic links will populate with contact info specific to your account.

window will refresh.

A Lead Signup Form collects information of a lead and drops the lead data into Lead Generator. Shared Lead Signup Forms have been created by the marketing team and placed on various web pages. Lead Signup Forms may be connected to a Lead Category which means leads added through the form will automatically be placed into a Category - triggering the Email Messages associated to that Category.

Shared Lead Signup forms cannot be edited.
