Percentage insert condition
Aurea List Manager can send particular messages to a percentage of your list. This feature is useful if you would like several advertisements rotated in your list, or if you would like a particular advertisement sent to only part of your list.
The percentage chosen to receive each message is random. Those delivered first to have the same chances of receiving a particular message as those delivered last.
The text block rotated may be plain text, HTML, or blank.
For each text block, you select the percentage of recipients who should receive it.
Note
The sum of all the percentages cannot exceed one hundred. In other words, if you have one text block displayed 60% of the time, and another 60% of the time, you receive an error message.
You cannot have 20% receiving both messages. If you want to do so, insert two percentage conditions, each with 60% text block, 40% blank text.
Find the table below showing features of the Percentage insert condition:
| Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Display This Text |
The text you would like to be included in your message. The text may be plain text or HTML. If you would like a certain percentage to receive nothing at all, leave blank. |
| This Often |
The percentage of recipients who should receive this particular text. |
| More |
If you want more text blocks, select More. Each time you select More, another set of Display This Text and This Often is displayed. |
| Fewer |
If you have added too many text blocks using More, and would like to remove them, select Fewer. Each time you select Fewer, the last set of Display This Text and This Often is removed. |
| Unique Name |
Each percentage condition must have a unique name. Aurea List Manager provides one for you, and we recommend you use this name. If you prefer, you may specify your unique name here. |
| Apply To |
Specify whether the percentages specified above in the form apply to a percentage of recipients who receive an individual mailing, or to a particular percentage of mailings that use this content. Percentage of Recipients rotates the text within each mailing that uses this content. Percentage of Mailings rotates the text between mailings. For example, let's say you've selected two different text blocks to be sent 50% of the time. If you select Percentage of Recipients, half of your repents receives a particular text block each time you mail. If you select Percentage of Mailings, half of your mailings use one text block or another, and all recipients of the mailing see the same text. Percentage of Recipients is most useful if you plan on using a particular piece of content only once, or would like the content rotated within each mailing. Percentage of Mailings is most useful if you are creating a template, and would like everyone to receive the same content, which is rotated between mailings. |
