Interest Lists^Top
Interest Lists organize contacts into strategic distribution groups. These groups form the basis for your email marketing strategy. Choose to bulk import large sets of contacts and assign them to as many Interest Lists as you like or let contacts manage their own subscriptions directly from your Web site. Send or schedule newsletters directly to any number of Interest Lists or use Smart Lists to further segment contacts based on any conceivable demographic criteria. Whether your organizational needs are straight-forward or highly complex, Arrow makes managing and organizing your valuable contacts a snap.
