Creating Customized Marketing Campaigns

When you initiate advertising campaigns or want to promote content by offering it
at special prices, you can create customized marketing campaigns to send
advertisements to subscribers. You can select one or more items that you want to
promote and specify the criteria by which subscribers are selected to receive the
advertisements. The advertisements can be sent as email or as a message to the
subscriber’s device.

In addition to creating the marketing campaign, you also define the segment of
subscribers that the campaign will target. To keep the format of the campaign
consistent, create a template for the marketing message. This section covers the
following topics:
