- Unica Campaign overview
  Unica Campaign is a web-based solution that enables you to design, run, and analyze direct marketing campaigns.
- Creating and managing campaigns
  One of the first things you do in Unica Campaign is to create a marketing campaign to identify your objective. Each campaign is defined by its business objective, initiative, and effective date range. A campaign always consists of at least one flowchart, where you select recipients and assign offers. You can create, view, edit, delete, and perform similar operations on marketing campaigns.
- Designing flowcharts
  Unica Campaign flowcharts define the campaign logic. Each campaign consists of at least one flowchart. A flowchart performs a sequence of actions on data that is stored in your customer databases or flat files.
- Flowchart management
  Unica Campaign flowcharts define the campaign logic. Each flowchart in a campaign performs a sequence of actions on data that is stored in your customer databases or flat files.
- Send Time Optimization
  Send time optimization calculates the best time to contact the target customer via various channels based on past interactions.
- Offer management
  Offers are specific marketing communications that you send to particular groups of people, using one or more channels. Each offer is based on an offer template that a Unica Campaign administrator defines.
- Target cell management
  A cell is a group of people that you want to target, such as high value customers. A target cell is a cell that has an offer assigned to it.
- Contact history
  Unica Campaign maintains contact history to record information about offers that are sent to contacts. History is also recorded about control cells, to identify customers who are purposely not sent the offer.
- Unica Campaign response tracking
  Use the Response process in a flowchart to track the actions that occur after a campaign. When you run the Response process, data is recorded in the response history tables and is available for the Unica Campaign performance reports.
- Stored objects
  If there are campaign components that you use frequently, you can save them as stored objects. Reusing stored objects across flowcharts and campaigns saves time and ensures consistency.
- Session flowcharts
  Sessions provide a way to create persistent, global "data artifacts" for use in all campaigns. Each session contains one or more flowcharts. Running a session flowchart makes the outcome of the session (the data artifacts) available globally to all campaigns.
- Unica Campaign reports overview
  Unica Campaign provides reports to aid in campaign and offer management.
  - Analyzing the quality of your flowchart selections
    As you create a Unica Campaign flowchart, you can use flowchart cell reports to analyze the accuracy of each process. Flowchart cell reports provide information about which IDs are selected and how each downstream process affects the list of selections.
  - Using reports to analyze campaigns and offers
    Unica Campaign provides reports to help you analyze information about your campaigns and offers. Some reports can be run during campaign development as part of your planning process. Other reports show campaign results, so you can analyze and fine-tune your offers and campaign strategy.
