Recipient Filters
ACCESSING RECIPIENT FILTERS
For each campaign you create, by default you will send to all of your customers unless you use recipient filters. To access these filters from the campaign or autoconnect creation page, click recipient filters.
Note: Many of the recipient filters are customizable. To customize them, on the navigation tab on the left, click settings > groups and select the corresponding filter you would like to edit/customize.
Note: The parenthesized number that appears under recipient filters represents how many people are in your selected target audience.
As you select which filters you would like to apply, this number will change to reflect how many people are in your audience.
LOCATION-BASED FILTERS
Location-based filters can help retailers segment customers by location, which is useful when running location-specific specials or events, or making location-specific announcements. These may be especially helpful to retailers with several locations and a mix of medical and recreational locations.
LOCATIONS
Filters customers based on the location or locations where they’ve shopped, or been associated with.
AREA CODE
Filters customers based on their area code.
ZIP CODE
Filters customers based on their zip code.
PRIMARY LOCATION
Filters customers based on the primary locations they’ve indicated in their wallet.
ENGAGEMENT-BASED FILTERS
Engagement-based filters allow retailers to filter customers based on their engagement with the store. These filters can be useful when looking to target customers who have shown (or haven’t shown) a certain amount of interest in your store as a whole, or in specific campaigns that you’ve run.
DAYS SINCE LAST VISIT
As opposed to visit recency, days since last visit filters customers base on how long it has been since their last visit, and therefore targets customers who fall on or outside the selected number of days. Select between a range of days as short as 1 day and as long as 6 months since a customer’s last visit.
VISITING TOTAL
Filters customers based on how many times they’ve visited. Click add sub filters to select a date range for the filter to apply to.
CLICKED ON CAMPAIGN
Filters customers based on whether they’ve clicked any links within the past campaign.
CAMPAIGN ENGAGEMENT FILTER
The campaign engagement filter allows retailers to filter customers based on how many times they clicked previous campaigns or visited after them.
For example, if you were to select the member clicks (1/5) filter, you would be targeting customers who clicked on only 1 of the last 5 campaigns that they received. If you were to select member visits (3/5) filter, you would be targetin customers who visited after 3 or 5 of the last campaigns you sent.
Note: You can always create new filters or edit existing campaign engagement filters that cover a wider range of your previous campaigns. To do this, in the settings dropdown click groups then click campaigns.
VISIT RECENCY FILTER
The visit recency filters customers based on whether they’ve visited within a certain time period. For example, you’ll be able to group customers who have made a purchase within the last 7 days, 30 days, between 31 and 60 days ago, and so on. To make edits to existing visit recency groups, or to create your own visit recency groups, start by opening the settings dropdown menu from your Springbig dashboard, then click on groups to open your groups page.
- To make changes to your visit recency options: click to open the drop down menu from your groups page.
- To update an existing visit recency group: simple click on edit.
- To remove a visit recency group from your list: click on the x to delete the segmentation option.
- To add your own option: simply click the new visit recency segment option and create your own.
EMAIL ACTIVITY FILTER
The email activity filter allows retailers to filter customers based on how many of the previous emails they’ve opened, and if they’ve opened, not opened, received, or not received a certain email. Therefore, the email activity filter will consist of 5 subfilters:
- Email opens
- Email received
- Did not receive email
- Opened email
- Did not open email
Note: You can edit the email opens subfilter to encompass more or less of your previous emails by going to the settings dropdown and clicking groups > email opens.
PURCHASE-BASED FILTERS
Purchase-based filters allow retailers to filter customers based on their purchase history. These filters are extremely powerful and can be used to run targeted campaigns to customers who have purchased, for example, certain brands or categories, or who have proven to spend above a certain amount each time they visit. Using these filters to run product or category specific campaigns to high spenders can boost sales greatly and yield extremely high ROIs.
