Understanding Tags

Different features in SharpSpring deal with different types of data. Sometimes, this data can become too much to manage on its own and can benefit from being grouped together with like data.  SharpSpring promotes using tags as a means of grouping data. 

Essentially, tags are a way to group different pieces of data together under a similar label. Tags can be used to group similar accounts, leads, emails, lists, campaigns, and user groups. Data with the same tag will appear together when searched. Additionally, data can be assigned multiple tags, which can make organization that much easier. 

Even when used as a grouping tool, tags can be used in different ways. Consider how tags can be used to:

  • Isolate specific sets of accounts that are similar to one another but different from other accounts
  • Compare multiple active campaigns to one another, or view their general performance together
  • Tag contacts with information that allows you to engage with more personal interactions
  • Group and report on multiple emails
  • Link separate-but-similar lists together
  • Use user group tags in action groups and in reporting
