Does Newsberry support multiple fields for each subscriber?

Yes, Newsberry allows you to insert many fields for each subscriber. These fields can be created when adding subscribers or they can be created in the Fields & Forms section.

To find the Fields & Forms section, click on the Subscribers tab in your list, then click Fields & Forms underneath.

Each list is setup with two default fields: Name and Email. You can add fields to the list by using the Add new field form below the list of fields. When adding a new field, insert the name of the field, the type of data (number or text), and the default value.  Here is an explanation of the settings.

Name
This is the name of the field, which is also used to describe the field on your sign up pages.

Type
A field can be either a number or plain text. If it is a number, the data that is in this field must be a number. If it is not, Newsberry will ignore the information. For instance, if you insert "100,000" it will be ignored, since the data includes a comma.

Default Value
The default value is used to fill in any subscriber data that is blank. For instance, if a subscriber's name is blank you can use "Customer" instead. This way when you customize a greeting it will read "Dear Customer".

How can custom fields be used?


Personalize Content
Custom fields can be used for personalizing content, such as inserting a person's name, city, or email into the content of your message.

Creating targeted sub-lists
They can also be used to create sub-lists, which are targeted lists based on subscriber data. Let's say you want to send an email to all subscribers in the 19103 zip code or to all subscribers who signed up from a trade show. Having custom fields allow you to search this subscriber data to create more compelling and targeted campaigns for your subscribers.
