Content: Insert Condition: Percentage
ListManager has the ability to 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 to first will 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 that 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 will receive an error message—you will not have 20% receiving both messages. If you'd like to do so, insert two percentage conditions, each with 60% text block, 40% blank text.
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'd like more text blocks, select More. Each time you select More, another set of Display This Text and This Often will be displayed.
Fewer
If you've 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 will be removed.
Unique Name
Each percentage condition must have a unique name. ListManager provides one for you, and we recommend you use this name. If you prefer, you may specify your own 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 will rotate the text within each mailing that uses this content. Percentage of Mailings will rotate 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 will receive a particular text block each time you mail. If you select Percentage of Mailings, half of your mailings will use one text block or another, and all recipients of the mailing will 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.
