What You Can Do with Mailing in CiviPlus

1. Create and Send Bulk Emails:
• Send bulk emails to a list of contacts (e.g., members, donors, volunteers).
• Customise the content for different groups within the same mailing.
2. Create Mosaico Email Templates:
• Design professional-looking email templates using Mosaico, a drag-and-drop email builder.
• Create reusable templates for newsletters, announcements, or campaigns.
• Include images, buttons, columns, and other design elements easily without coding.
• Save and reuse templates for future mailings.
3. Personalisation:
• Personalise emails by including tokens (e.g., recipient’s first name, organization, etc.).
4. A/B Testing:
• Create multiple versions of an email to test which one performs better.
• Experiment with subject lines, email content, or call-to-action buttons to improve engagement.
5. Mailing Reports and Analytics:
