How to create charge-specific criminal marketing campaigns.

Segmenting campaigns by crime type

To start automating emails to prospective clients in your county, you first need to connect your MailChimp account to your Client Connect Dashboard. You can do so by selecting the “Automation tab” on your Client Connect dashboard. If you don’t have a MailChimp account already, you can create one** here** . Note: to send different criminal defense marketing emails based on crime type, you will need to upgrade to MailChimp's Standard Package.

Once you’ve provided us with your API key, you’ll be ready to setup a criminal marketing campaign that will automatically email arrestees of a given crime type an email of your design. This guide will explain how to setup campaigns for these crime categories:

  • Violent Crimes

  • Thefts

  • Drug Charges

  • DUI's

  • Weapon's Charges

  • Sex Crimes

  • Other (Trespassing, Threats, Evading arrest, etc.)
