Use Marsello to send both transactional loyalty program emails and marketing emails

Updated over 5 months ago

Customers who can receive your loyalty program emails

Loyalty program emails are triggered by the customer's behavior, these emails are transactional and do not require the customer to accept email marketing. These emails can be sent to any customer on your customer database.

Using loyalty program notification emails, you can keep your customers up-to-date on their loyalty points and available rewards.
​
Types of loyalty program notification emails:

  • Earned points email: Automatically notify customers when they earn points.

  • Reward unlocked email: Automatically notifying customers when they have earned enough points to claim a reward.

  • Reward coupon email: When customers claim a reward, automatically send them their unique discount code, so they can easily access it the next time they shop.

If you would like to only send loyalty program notification emails to customers who have accept email marketing, you can update this in your app admin under Settings > Email marketing > Compliance > Marketing opt-in details.

FAQs

Q. If a customer wants to opt out specifically from the Abandoned cart email only, should they unsubscribe from Loyalty Program Emails or Email Marketing?

A. The Abandoned cart email is considered to be transactional so if a customer were to unsubscribe from loyalty emails, this would stop them from receiving all loyalty emails.


If the customer would like to continue to receive the other transactional loyalty notifications, you could add a conditional split to the beginning of the abandoned cart automation - be sure to use email is not. By adding the conditional split at the start of the flow, will prevent the customer from entering that flow again in the future.
