There are a few ways you can canvass by sending bulk, personalised emails, or print batch letters in PMS.
Landlords/Vendors, based on their correspondence address.
PMS > landlords/vendors > type in the postcode or town of the landlords/vendors that you wish to target. This will then filter contacts based on their correspondence address.
- Select the contacts you wish to canvass/send a message to.
- At the bottom of the page, there is an Actions menu. Select to email/print or SMS.
- If you wish to send an email, a good place to start with is to use our premade template called "Landlord Bulk Emailer". This can be found in the control panel > templates > add templates from library > landlord/vendor letters > landlord bulk emailer > Select the template, then click the button at the top to add selected.
This can then be modified… see related tutorials on how to modify standard letters/emails for more info.
Similar logic can be applied to applicants and tenants.
Landlords/Vendors, based on the properties they own.
PMS > properties > again, specify a postcode or town... then select the action at the bottom to send an email/print a letter to the landlords/vendors based on the properties you have just selected.
Property to applicants
As you know, you can send out a property to matching applicants. However, you may want to send the property to a list of applicants based on an applicant's search criteria that may be slightly outside the criteria of the property.
This can be done via:
PMS > applicants > Search and use the applicant filters found on this page > select the applicants > at the bottom of the page, select the text field labelled "Send property to selected applicants". This enables you to send the property to any chosen applicant, regardless of whether they match the criteria of the property or not.
