Marketing lists in Dynamics CRM provide a way for you to group your accounts, contacts and leads so that you can market to specific segments more effectively. Marketing lists contain “members”—lead, contact, or account records—that meet a specific criteria or are managed manually by users. They can be either static or dynamic. Here are some common reasons for creating marketing lists:
• To send out company newsletters
• To distribute promotional emails
• To send event information and updates
• To use in mail merges
Elements:
Static vs. Dynamic Marketing Lists
A Dynamic Marketing List is where membership to that list is defined by an advanced find associated with the marketing list. Whenever a new record is created or updated and meets the criteria of the marketing list query, it will automatically be added to the marketing list.
A Static Marketing List is where members are added using various methods except dynamically through an advanced find. Each member can be added manually or through a lookup.
