Importing your contact list is a crucial step in setting up your account for success. Once your clients and prospects have been added to your account you can begin nurturing the recipients with great content. We encourage you to segment your contacts and have them split out into separate Excel lists before importing, you can then upload each unique list one after the other. The newsletter will be sent to all contacts imported, unless you choose an auto-send list
