Sending a Mailing Segment

As your subscriber list grows in your Lyris ListManager™ a need may arise to send an email to a specific group of subscribers. Lyris™ refers to this as “Mailing Segment”.

Log into your account and go to “Content-View Content”.

You can either create new content or use content previously created. You can see below the content is ready to send a mailing segment. Click on “Create Mailing” to continue to the next screen..

At this time your segments should be created, if not we have a tutorial for creating a New Segment. In the next window you need to click on the “Recipients” tab. On the line for “Segments” clink on “Choose Segments” this will take you to another screen that allows you to choose a segment.

After you have clicked “Choose Segments” the next screen will show you your segments. By default it will display in the “Chosen Segment” box all of your list with your list name. You will want to remove that one by highlighting it and clicking on the bottom arrow button to move this segment out of the box.

How Our Message Pricing Works

  1. Included Monthly Messages
    Each plan comes with a certain number of included messages at a standard size (up to 40K per email).
  2. Overage Rate
    After you’ve sent all your included messages, each additional 1,000 emails costs $0.90.
  3. What If an Email Is Larger Than 40K?
    • We measure every extra 1K of data beyond 40K as an extra fraction of a message.
    • Example: A 50K email counts as 1.25 messages (because 50K is 1.25 × 40K).
    • This prevents rounding up to a full extra 40K block when you only need 10K more.
  4. Covered by Your Monthly Fee
    • All administrative and automated list messages (welcome emails, unsubscribe confirmations, surveys, etc.)
    • Access to features like archives, refer-a-friend, click/open tracking, feedback loops, and more.
