Everything You Need to Know About Campaign Archive in 2021
Sent a lot of newsletters and campaigns to your audience? Probably, creating an archive is something you should do right now. Why?
Because you can then share your past content with literally anyone. It’s like creating a collection of your past newsletters, all in a single page, which is visible to everyone on that page. You can also share it around with people.

Sharing your past newsletters via link can be a good method to attract new users and give them a taste of the content before they subscribe to your emails. Also this will bring in real, long term users as they know what they’re signing up for and not just shooting in the dark. The technicalities of the same are explained further.
What is a Campaign Archive?
Campaign archive is a public page that shows links to the past emails sent to your audience. You can share it with your customers or anyone you wish to. Check the image below to see what it looks like You can even share the individual campaign if need be.
Coming to why creating a campaign archive is beneficial for your business:
- This is an effective way to market your business through the already sent emails. No extra efforts.
- If people like your content from the campaign archive page, they will subscribe for further campaigns.
- In case they really vibe with your emails, they might share it with their friends and family, therefore increasing the probability of new signups.
- And the best part is you are not obliged to put all your newsletters into the archive. Only the ones you select are visible on the page.
- Also, if there is some exclusive content that you want to reserve for your customers only, you simply don’t add that to the archive and it remains unseen.
