Summary

From within the Vehicle Sales Menu, there is an option to send various Mailshots to customers. eg, New/Used Thank You Letters etc. These Letters can be edited from the default installed. The following explains how to do this.

Detailed

Go to "Vehicle Sales" -> "Vehicle Sales Mailshots" and tap <Enter> to view the current list of installed Mailshots.

Some examples listed are:

  • NEW Thank You Letter
  • USED Thank You Letter
  • Vehicle Service Reminder
  • Vehicle MOT Reminder

If you don't see any of the above Mailshots, please contact Catalyst Support for further assistance.


Editing a Mailshot

  • Select any of the listed Mailshots and press <Edit>
  • On the window that pops up, click <Edit the Letter>
  • This should open up Notepad and display a series of code and text. If you scroll down the page, towards the centre of the document, you will see the body of the text. (The letter contents)
  • Any of the text to the right of the "}" symbol can be edited; eg:
    • ^{M 9,129}Thank you for purchasing your new
  • can be changed to:
    • ^{M 9,129}Thank you for purchasing your used
  • etc.....
  • Please note, any string that begins with an "$" MUST be kept in as this is a token used by Platinum and is pulling various information from file to print on each individual letter, for example, the customers name or vehicle make etc.
  • When you have finished editing the letter, click <File>-><Save> and then click <File>-><Exit>
  • Now click<Accept> and then click<Finish Editing>

You are now ready to run your amended Mailshot by pressing<Start> and then following the on-screen prompts.
