List Sorcerer™ includes a handy campaign wizard to help you effortlessly setup campaigns. This wizard is automatically launched the first time that you start the List Sorcerer program. The campaign wizard can also be manually launched anytime by selecting the "Campaign Wizard" option from the "Configuration Wizards" menu located within the top menu bar or the program.
The instructions below are in respect to using the campaign creation wizard to create a campaign that uses list sorcerer's internal database to store and manage member email addresses and other member information. This is most common campaign configuration and is the one recommended to use unless you need to integrate live data into your campaign in which you would want to follow the campaign creation wizard instructions for creating a external database campaign
