Preference Management: Manage Subscriptions

A Manage Subscription page enables your contacts to subscribe or unsubscribe from a list. You can use the Preference Management feature to create a Manage Subscription page that you can include in the footers of your email campaigns.

The following screenshot shows a sample Manage Subscription Page that has been created using the Preference Management feature:

To each contact, the page displays all the lists in which the contact is present, giving them the option to subscribe or unsubscribe from these lists. In addition, the lists that have the ‘Add to Unsubscribe Page’ field set to ‘Yes’, will also appear on the page.

📋 Notes:

• The ‘Unsubscribe me from all of my current email lists’ option lets the contacts unsubscribe from all lists.
• If a contact selects the ‘Never email me again’ option, the contact is added to the ‘Do Not Mail' list of your account, which means they will not receive any future communications from the sender.

Creating a Manage Subscription Page

Perform the following steps to create a Manage Subscription Page:

1. In the Navigation, go to AUDIENCE, and then select Preference Management.
2. On the Preference Management index page, click the New Preference Page button.
3. Fill out the fields on the left side of the page to provide the preference page details.
   
   • Name – Enter a name for your preference page.
   • Page Type – Select Manage Subscription from the drop-down list.
   • Redirect the Contact to a Thank You Page After the Form is Submitted – Select a Thank You page to which the contacts will be redirected after the Manage Subscription page is submitted. By default, Maropost's default Thank You page is selected.
4. Design your subscription page on the right side of the page by using the editor tools or by editing the HTML code in the source.
   📋 Note: The page must have {{manage_sub.form}} tag. The tag is replaced with the form on which your contacts can select the lists they want to get subscribed to or unsubscribed from.
5. Click Save Page.

Using a Manage Subscription Page

When creating a custom footer (see Footer Management), you can select the Manage Subscription Page that you created using the Preference Management feature.
