When sending a broadcast message to your subscribers, choose the “Segment” option rather than the “List” option.
Segments, as the name implies, are a way to segment your subscribers based on their attributes. In this example you would be able to send a message specifically to folks who have opted in on, during, or before a certain date.
From the “Only show contacts who meet this criteria:” selection choose “Keyword”. This will add it below as filter option. Click on the “Add Keyword” link and type in your appropriate list at the top and click Search. Check the box next to whatever list you want to segment and click Add.
Now, again from the “Only show contacts who meet this criteria:” selection choose “Opt-In date”. Select before, after, or during, and select a date in “XX/XX/YYYY
Now your message will only go to a segment of your list subscribers who meet the dated criteria you selected.
Finally, you can save your dated segment if you wish. Just fill in the “Save this group under the following name” text box and name it appropriately. This will allow you to save it and choose it from the segment dropdown without having to recreate it every time.
