Set up a Direct Mail Campaign with pURLs in 7 Easy Steps
The Direct Mail Campaign with pURLs will create a pURL and a personalized landing page or microsite for each person on your contact list. Campaign information, including pURLs, can then be 
downloaded and sent to your printer so your pURLs can be printed on your direct mail piece. This type of campaign is basically a personalized campaign that uses a direct mail channel.
The outline below lists all the steps necessary to create a Direct Mail Campaign with pURLs. Quick links to our help articles are provided, so you’ll know exactly how to complete each step.
1. Upload a Contact List containing your customers ‘ information – including first name, last name, address, city, state, zip, plus any other information you’ll use in your campaign:
Your contact list will serve as the data backbone for your direct mail campaign with pURLs. It’s important that you upload your list to Boingnet and generate your pURLs before your printer has finalized their variable data layout. Boingnet must generate the pURLs in order to ensure that duplicates are avoided.
2. Create a Landing Page Template:
Your landing page template is the page that your targets see when they reach enter their pURLs into a browser (or scan their QR Code). Typically these pages include forms (pURLs can often pre-fill forms to get higher response rates) and a large Call To Action button. You can set up a thank you page, or as many pages as you like on your pURL.
