Mass Email

Mass emails are official messages from Florida State University administration, colleges, departments and organizations that communicate information pertinent to the campus community. These messages, powered by Salesforce Marketing Cloud, often are sent from “Important Announcements” and can be sent university-wide or to targeted groups. All you need is some solid content and a catchy subject line, and ITS will help send your message. Whether it’s an upcoming event, new service or change in university operations, mass emails can help you get the word out to the masses. Because, let’s be honest … We all watch for that President’s Ice Cream Social email.
