Prerequisites
In order to create a campaign that drives customer loyalty, you’ll need conversion events synced with AdRoll for all your contacts. This can typically be done using one of our e-commerce integrations or setting up the AdRoll Pixel.
Create Campaign
To create your automated flow, simply navigate to the Emails tab in your AdRoll Dashboard. Then click on Create a Campaign and select the recipe to Drive Customer Loyalty.
Select Your Trigger
Once you create your campaign you can begin to configure it starting with your trigger in Step 1. AdRoll will default your audience targeting for your campaign to include contacts with 1 purchase and exclude repeat customers.
If you prefer to use a different audience, you can select to customize your conditions. This will allow you to choose any of your dynamic lists for inclusion and/or exclusion.
We also recommend getting to know your customer buying cycle by determining the average time between orders. This will help you decide how long to wait before scheduling the first email within the flow.
