Chapter 5. Managing E-mails

The first digital assets that we will review creating for our campaign are e-mails. Eloqua has a powerful e-mail engine that allows us to send personalized e-mails to a large number of contacts in an automated fashion or more manually executed as batch sends along the lines of what we did in Chapter 1, Creating Your First Campaign.

E-mails can be created within Eloqua by using either its e-mail editor or by uploading HTML and using its source editor. For our campaign, we will build our e-mails using Eloqua's e-mail editor. Many of the same editor tools can be used with the source editor, but working directly with HTML for our campaign's digital assets is outside the scope of this book.
