Marketing List is a list of database records – specifically names and contact information. It might be Customers, it might be Leads, it might be Customers excluding or including given demographic or sales characteristics. It might be related to pre-sale or post-sale Campaign Streams. The list can be manifested as an Excel document, a printout of labels, or to populate a Campaign Stream as described in a separate article. All marketing lists created in Evosus are saved for possible reuse. If reusing a list, skip steps 1 and 2 of the ‘Process to Complete’ section below.

Filters can include or exclude different demographic or Sales characteristics such as gender, interest, postcodes, salesperson, or item ordered. Although they are added one at a time, there can be multiple filters applied within a list to get specific if desired.
