Boost Lists

In order to maximize your list quality there is a need to always check reports and engage in managing contact lists. DirectIQ has automated this process introducing Boost Lists. Boost lists allows you to extract the best qualitative contacts of a list (openers in the last 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months choosing the time span)

Note: A list might be very large and boosting might take a while running in background:

After deciding to boost a list a newly created list named exactly as the original list is saved with the difference of the text (BOOSTED) at the end.
