Paid plans start at Rs. 200\/month based on contact count.

For SMS marketing, use Zoho Marketing Automation or integrate with an Indian SMS gateway (MSG91, Kaleyra) via <a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/blog\/zoho-flow-automation-india\/\">Zoho Flow<\/a>. Zoho Marketing Automation supports both email and SMS in a single platform.<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\"><div class=\"faq-question\">Does Zoho Campaigns comply with Indian data protection rules?<\/div><div class=\"faq-answer\">Zoho Campaigns includes consent management, unsubscribe handling, and data export capabilities. Zoho stores data in India-region data centers for Indian accounts. For DPDP Act compliance, ensure you collect proper consent before adding contacts to your mailing list.<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\"><div class=\"faq-question\">How does it compare to Mailchimp?<\/div><div class=\"faq-answer\">Mailchimp has a more polished email editor and broader template library. Zoho Campaigns has native <a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/blog\/zoho-crm-integrations-india\/\">Zoho CRM integration<\/a> and INR pricing (no forex markup). For companies on Zoho One, Campaigns is included at no extra cost, making it significantly cheaper than Mailchimp.<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\"><div class=\"faq-question\">Can I track email revenue attribution?<\/div><div class=\"faq-answer\">Yes. With Zoho CRM integration, track which email campaigns generated leads that converted to deals. The revenue attribution report shows campaign <a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/blog\/zoho-crm-roi-6-months-india\/\">ROI<\/a> based on actual closed deal values in CRM.<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Building and Segmenting Your Contact List<\/h2>\n<p>Zoho Campaigns allows you to build contact lists by importing from CSV, syncing from Zoho CRM, or using Zoho Forms to capture new subscribers. For Indian businesses, the most efficient path is syncing from Zoho CRM so that your marketing list and sales CRM stay automatically aligned. Contacts added to a specific CRM list or meeting a saved search criteria flow into Zoho Campaigns without manual export-import cycles.<\/p>\n<p>Segmentation is where Zoho Campaigns adds measurable value over a basic email tool. You can segment contacts by industry, city, company size, product interest, or past campaign engagement. A manufacturing company in Pune might send one email campaign to prospects in the automotive sector and a different campaign to prospects in pharmaceuticals, even though both lists come from the same Zoho CRM import. The personalisation this enables consistently improves open and click rates.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Creating and Sending a Campaign<\/h2>\n<p>To create a campaign, go to Campaigns &gt; Email &gt; New Campaign. Choose Regular Campaign for a one-time send or Autoresponder for a triggered sequence. Select your contact list or segment, then choose a template from Zoho Campaigns&#8217; library or build one using the drag-and-drop editor.<\/p>\n<p>Key settings before sending: set the From Name to a person&#8217;s name rather than a company name (for example, &#8220;Amit from Aaxonix&#8221; rather than &#8220;Aaxonix Tech&#8221;), write a subject line under 50 characters with the main benefit upfront, and enable personalisation to insert the recipient&#8217;s first name. Schedule the send for Tuesday or Wednesday morning between 9 and 11 AM IST, which historically performs well for B2B emails in India.<\/p>\n<p>Run a preview test to 5 to 10 internal email addresses before the full send. Check that the email renders correctly in Gmail, Outlook, and on mobile. Zoho Campaigns includes a spam score checker that flags common spam trigger words before you send.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Tracking Results and Compliance<\/h2>\n<p>After the campaign sends, Zoho Campaigns provides a real-time report: sent count, delivered count, open rate, click rate, bounces, and unsubscribes. For a B2B email list in India, benchmark open rates of 20 to 30% and click rates of 2 to 5% are typical. Below these numbers, test subject line variations and sending time.<\/p>\n<p>Indian email marketing must comply with the Information Technology Act and TRAI guidelines. Every campaign must include a physical mailing address and a working unsubscribe link. Zoho Campaigns adds these automatically to every email. Contacts who click Unsubscribe are removed from future campaigns immediately and are not included in list exports unless explicitly requested for compliance records. Do not re-add unsubscribed contacts to active lists.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Does Zoho Campaigns integrate with Zoho CRM for lead tracking?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. The integration is two-way. Campaign engagement data (opens, clicks, and unsubscribes) flows back into Zoho CRM as activity records on the lead or contact. Sales reps can see which marketing emails a prospect opened before they call. You can also trigger Zoho CRM workflows based on campaign engagement, for example, assigning a task to a sales rep when a lead clicks on a pricing page link in an email.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>Can I send WhatsApp messages through Zoho Campaigns?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Zoho Campaigns supports WhatsApp Business messaging as a channel alongside email and SMS. You can run WhatsApp campaigns to contacts who have opted in, using approved message templates. This is particularly useful for transactional notifications (order confirmations, appointment reminders) and promotional campaigns to existing customers in India, where WhatsApp open rates are significantly higher than email.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-item\"><h3>What is the cost of Zoho Campaigns for a list of 10,000 contacts?<\/h3>\n<p>Zoho Campaigns pricing is based on contact list size for the subscriber plan, or on email volume for the email credits plan. For a list of 10,000 contacts with unlimited emails per month, the subscriber plan costs approximately Rs 3,600 per month. If you send fewer than 50,000 emails per month across a larger list, the email credits plan may be more economical. There is also a free plan for lists up to 2,000 contacts with up to 6,000 emails per month.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zoho Campaigns for India: email automation, CRM integration, list segmentation, A\/B testing, and INR pricing for Indian SMB email marketing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1346,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[86,358,48,85],"class_list":["post-1349","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","tag-email-marketing","tag-marketing","tag-zoho","tag-zoho-campaigns"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1349","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1349"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1349\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3369,"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1349\/revisions\/3369"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1349"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1349"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1349"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
