SET UP YOUR PERSONAL CONTACT LISTS FOR YOU MAILINGS

We have made a tool available to you called the “List builder”, which enables you to prepare contact lists according to your objectives: sending mails, faxes, post and printing.

To help you make your first list, we suggest you follow the example below: making a list of buyers in France:

• Once on the database (accessed with your user name and password), click on “Company” to open the scroll menu. In the menu, click on “List builder”;
• On the “List builder” page, select FRANCE (in “ Search by country”), then the business sector ACQUISITIONS (in “Search by activity”);
• Select 200 results per page (in “Show me more results in a page”). Beware, when you define the number of results per page, the greater the number of results you choose the longer the page will take to appear;
• Then click  on « search »;
• In “Additional criteria”, you can visualise ONE CONTACT PER COMPANY by selecting “List only the first staff of each company” (in “Staff listing”), or “List all staff” is you want to visualise ALL THE BUYERS IN EACH COMPANY. Then, to make this function operational, select “Buyer” in the scroll down menu of the second search criterion (in “Staff activity”);
• Click once again on “search” to add a contact name from each company;
• Deselect the contacts you are not interested in (they are all selected by default to begin with), then go to the bottom of the page to create your list;
• In the sky blue window, in the field “add to this new list”, give the list a name, for example, TEST LIST, then click on “Go”;
• Then click on the following page (at the top or bottom of the page) and renew the operation to save more contacts in the new list. Go to the scroll down menu of “Add selected to” and select TEST LIST. Click once again on “Go” and do the same for the following pages;
• Once the operation is finished, go to the menu on the left (the red column) and click on “My lists” under “Account”;
• Then click on LIST TEST ;
• You can execute different actions directly from your list:

o        Rename, copy, merge, delete the list (in “Edit”);

o        View the main information or contact details of these contacts in Cannes (in “View”);

o        Send an email directly to a correspondent by clicking on the little Outlook envelope to the right of the contact;

o        Prepare different types of mail using the lists (fax, address) that can be downloaded and printed (in “Action”). These lists need to be paid for (0.10€ / list). To purchase them, recharge your account by clicking on “My downloads” at the top of this page. Select “Create my account” if you have not already set one, and follow the instructions.

More details:

• On the “List builder” page, when selecting your criteria, the 3^rd stage of the search (“Have a line-up”, “Have a stand”, “First time in Cannes”) proposes cumulative criteria (line-up “AND” stand “AND” first time in Cannes, and not “OR”), unlike the 4^th criterion regarding copyrights;
• When your list is made, you can access the detailed file of each of your contacts by clicking on the name of the company or person directly;

·         You can add contacts that interest you into your Outlook. For more details regarding how to do this, see “cannesmarket.com tip” in Newsletter n°1.
