Import Products To The Campaign

If there are a large number of campaign products to be loaded, it may be more efficient to perform a product import.

5. Click the 'Create Campaign Products' button. 
6. A success/failure message will be displayed in the dialogue box below the 'Create Campaign Products' button. Any errors encountered will be detailed here.
