Before you get started
Some key details to note about the Reward Your Best Customers Automation:
The Reward Your Best Customers Automation is prebuilt in your Marsello app admin and contains the following steps:
The automation is triggered when a customer's total spend is over $1,500
The first email is sent 1 week after the total spend has been reached, suggesting other items the customer may like
A second email is sent after another 1-week delay, rewarding customers with a 15% off coupon to use on their next purchase
A third email will follow after 5 days letting the customer know their coupon will expire in 2 days
The automation will then finish and the customer will not receive any more emails. Please note that the automation will also stop if a customer responds to an email and completes their purchase.
How to open the Reward Your Best Customers Automation for editing
1. In your Marsello app admin, go to Marketing > Automations. Select the Reward Your Best Customers Automation and click Edit.
Adding emails and delays to your automation
Encourage customers to use their thank you coupon by adding delays and emails to the flow and increasing the chance of another sale.
1. For Automations not currently enabled, please select edit and move on to step 2.
For Automations currently enabled, click the edit button to the right of the Automation's name in the Automation menu. This will trigger a pop-up asking you to disable the automation to edit if currently enabled. Click Yes, disable and edit.
2. Click the ⨁ icon to insert an email or delay into your flow
