Audience Model

An Audience Model is associated with a specific campaign and is defined on the campaign's Targeting tab. An audience model identifies the specific customers who receive the campaign information. The Define Campaign Targets topic provides an overview for creating the audience model.

The default model is All Active Subscribers. However, if you do need to create a model, the minimum information you need is a name. To make the audience model useful, add filters to identify specific groups of customers. Different information is required depending on the filter type you select.

The Create Audience Model window has several sections where you build the model. Each set of directions in this procedure corresponds to a section in the window.



After you add all of the information you need, click the Save button to save the model.
