How to tag a group of customers' in Marsello

In order to bulk tag a group of customers, you will need to use Marsello's Import Points feature.

Prepare your CSV file ready to import into Marsello

If you have a specific list of customers that you want to tag from your POS/eCommerce platform or previous email marketing tool, please get an export and then follow the below steps to format it ready for the Marsello importer. 

 

1. Start a blank spreadsheet with two columns:

  • The First Column can be set up with one of the following identifiers:
    - Email
    - Vend customer ID
    - Shopify customer ID
    - ExportId
    - Mobile
    - VendCustomerCode
  • The Second Column should be Points.

2. Enter the unique identifier (for example, the below screenshot is using the Marsello ExportId) of the customers' who you want to tag with your custom tag.

  • If you do not wish to add any points, ensure that the points column has 0 next to each identifier.

3. Copy the two columns to your clipboard. 

 

Import your data into Marsello

4. A pop-up will appear which requires you to select the identifier that you have for each customer, select your unique identifier that you're using to update the tag:

 

5. Select how you want the points to be added:

  • Add imported points to customers points balance
    > If you have your points column set as 0's, no points will be added.
  • Replace customers' current points balances with the imported points balance
    > If you have your points column set as 0's, all customers will have their points reset to 0.
