Loyalzoo promotions are an effective way to reach out to your existing customers and incentivise them to come back or to spend more. Your customers will receive an SMS, email or push notification depending on how your customer signed up (for more information on communication channels - click here). It will also be visible to any other Loyalzoo user by opening the Loyalzoo app.
To set up a promotion, go to the Loyalzoo dashboard. Press the "Send Promotion" tab under Marketing. Then press Create a promotion.
Fill out the fields as follows:
Subject: This field is the main message you send to your customers, and should be engaging. For example: ‘Join us this weekend for 25% off!’ Valid Sat & Sun’ or ‘Special offer! Save 50% today!’ Remember, your promotions are meant to attract customers. This will form the content of your SMS and be the subject line of an email.
Details: This field gives you the opportunity to add images, more content on your promotional message and any conditions. It will form the body of your email and it will be seen in preview within SMS.
Send on and Valid until: These fields decide when your promotion will be sent out and for how long your promotion is valid for. After this date, the promotion will be deleted from the app. This is to encourage you to keep your promotions fresh and engaging.
