How Outbound Email Marketing Works
Send AI-generated email campaigns to verified registrants near your race. Understand targeting, pricing, credits, and how to read your campaign results.
Zero Setup
AI generates email content, subject lines, and layout from your event details. No copywriting needed.
Verified Buyers
Every recipient has registered for at least one race through EnduranceFinder. No cold lists.
Geo-Targeted
Regional blasts reach buyers near your venue. Global blasts reach the entire opted-in network.
Credit-Funded
Amplify ticket fees convert into blast credits dollar for dollar. Most campaigns cost nothing extra.
How to Send a Campaign
Open Your Event
Go to Dashboard → Events → [Your Event] → Marketing → Email Blast. Your event must be published with at least one active ticket type.
Review AI-Generated Content
The AI writes your subject line and email body from your event details. Preview the email and edit if needed. Images are pulled from your event listing automatically.
Choose Targeting
Select Regional (geo-targeted to your venue area, 2.5¢/email) or Global (all opted-in users, 1¢/email). For regional blasts, set your radius (default 50 miles).
Send
Review the cost breakdown. Credits are applied automatically. Click Send Campaign. The blast is submitted for review and typically goes out within a few hours. AI optimizes send timing for maximum open rates.

Mountain Trail Ultra 50K
50 kilometers through Colorado's most scenic high-altitude trails
Registration is open for the Mountain Trail Ultra 50K — 50 kilometers of single-track through Boulder's most spectacular high-altitude terrain. 8,200 feet of elevation gain across alpine meadows, ridgeline traverses, and forested switchbacks.
Limited to 300 runners. Last year sold out in 48 hours. Early registration pricing ends May 1st.
Regional vs. Global
Choose the targeting type that matches your event format.
Regional Blast
Targets verified buyers within a radius of your venue. Best for in-person events where attendees need to be nearby.
Global Blast
Reaches all opted-in users across the entire network. Best for virtual races and destination events.
Credits & Pricing
Email campaigns are funded by blast credits earned from your Amplify ticket fees. Most organizers never pay out-of-pocket.
Earn Credits
Every dollar in Amplify ticket fees ($1.79 + 3.7% per ticket) becomes a blast credit. Sell 100 tickets at $50 each → $364 in credits.
Credits Pool
Credits accumulate across all your events into a single balance. They never expire and carry forward to future campaigns.
Auto-Applied
When you send a campaign, credits cover the cost automatically. You only pay out-of-pocket if credits don't cover the full amount.
Example
You have $100 in blast credits. You send a regional campaign to 4,000 recipients at 2.5¢/email = $100 total. Credits cover the full cost — $0 out of pocket.

Troubleshooting
Campaign stuck in review
All campaigns are reviewed before sending to ensure quality. This typically completes within a few hours. If it's been more than 24 hours, contact support.
Low recipient count
Regional blasts depend on verified buyer density near your venue. Try increasing the radius or switching to a global blast for online-friendly events.
Not enough credits
If your credit balance doesn't cover the campaign cost, you'll be asked to pay the remaining balance before the blast is submitted. Credits are earned automatically from Amplify ticket fees.
