About marketing objects
Marketing objects are the work products a team develops and reuses in the course of marketing activities. A marketing object can represent either a physical item, such as a letter, credit card, or banner ad, or business component, such as a credit card offer, a target segment definition, or a rewards program definition.
IBM® Unica® Marketing Operations organizes marketing objects by type. You must define a marketing object type for each kind of physical item or business component you want to use. Given the marketing object examples listed earlier, you could create the following marketing object types.

You create one or more templates for each marketing object type. For example, you could create separate letter templates for different kinds of letters. Each template can be used multiple times to create different instances of that kind of letter.
