Rate Us Campaign

We all want great customer ratings and for them to share the love! Automate the process of asking your customers to give you feedback and ratings.

First, you'll need to decide what experience you would like to have happened prior to asking for a rating (ex: first visit, first purchase, event attendance, etc).

Steps we'll guide you through:

• Creating a dynamic segment
• Creating a campaign
• Creating a text message
• Creating an automation

For our sample campaign, we'll use "First Purchase" as our trigger.

STEP 1: Create a dynamic segment

1. Using search to create a customer list means the list will always stay updated based on the fields you select. We call these dynamic segments in DailyStory. Navigate to Contacts > Search Contacts

2. Look for the field you want to celebrate like First Purchase and change Range to Period. You can set this to be for the next 14 days, 10 days, 2 days...whatever date range you would like to begin sending texts &/or emails to your customers. Click the green Search button.

3. Review the results to be sure they look like what you expected and then click on the Create Segment link.

4. Name the segment Rate Us After <isnert time frame> Purchase and give it a description if you like. Next, click Create Segment.
