Campaigns used to be called "Touches". Read about the change here.
Sendoso Direct is a great way to send unique gifts to your recipients from select vendors. Through the Direct Marketplace, you'll be able to find the perfect gift for any contact.
In this article we'll go through the following:
Navigating the Sendoso Direct Marketplace
Navigating the Marketplace
The Marketplace is where you can browse all of the vendors and gifts available for sending. To access the Marketplace, simply click + Create Campaign and select Direct Marketplace. Once you click Next Step, you'll be directed to the Marketplace.
We recommend using the filters on the left side of the page to help narrow down the gifts that are available to send that fit the theme, destination, and budget for your campaign.
We strongly recommend that you at least filter the results based on Ship to region or country.
When you’ve spotted an item that interests you, go ahead and click on it to read more. There are a few important things to consider before choosing a Sendoso Direct gift.
First, you’ll want to note the price. It is an estimate as shipping costs can vary. You’ll also want to take note of the processing and shipping times. Since these items ship directly from each vendor, these times may vary from vendor to vendor.
Also, you will see the type of note that comes with the items along with the character count. And most importantly, the ships to and ships from locations. It is important to take all of these factors into consideration when choosing the perfect gift.

Step 2:
Now it’s time to fill out the Campaign details. You’ll need to name the Campaign, select the type (triggered vs manual), and decide whether you want to select an end date.
An important thing to note, you can choose the email theme for the Campaign. If you want to give your Sender the ability to choose a theme, then select Allow sender to choose theme.
The Additional Details section allows you to set some additional limits on this Campaign.
Limit Numbers for this Touch: This field allows you to set a limit on how many times this Touch can be sent in the specified time period. In the above example, 10 quantities of the Touch can be sent twice in a week.
Once you’ve set the Additional Details settings, click Next Step at the bottom to continue.
