Use Case: New Smoothie Campaign – PAR MENU Knowledge Base

Segmenting Users Based on Products Purchased

The goal for this campaign is to create segments of users that particularly often order certain items, so they can be targeted with specific offers.

In this example, we will create a segment of users who purchased a smoothie more than once so we can send them an in-app message about a new smoothie in the menu as they will be more likely interested in that product.

Smoothie Buyer Segment

First, we need to create the segmentation:

In the left sidebar select Segments in Engagement section

In the upright corner, select Create Segment button and add the name to your segment. In our case, we will call it Smoothie Buyer
In Filters section, click Select Filter button and choose Purchased Product

Then select Search product option and search for the first product. In our case “Caribbean Green”

Next, select more than and enter 1 time
Click OR button to add the next product

Repeat the steps to add more products. In the end, you should have the list of all products that are part of the group

Tap Save to create the segment

We can now proceed with creating the Campaign.

Step 1 - Compose

In the left sidebar select Campaigns from Engagement section

Select Create Campaign and choose In-App Messaging

Add name and description to your campaign
For Message Type choose Modal and for Layout choose Image only

Now we should compose the message to advertise new smoothie. We will use the image as it should be most effective.

In Compose tab select Add Image button

In Media Library layover drag and drop image or select Upload button and choose your image
Images must be at least 600x600 pixels in order to ensure optimal display. Our recommendation is 1200x1100 pixels with space at the bottom of the image for buttons.
Next, select uploaded image and click Insert Selected button

Next, in Button 1 Text enter Not now, and for Button 2 Text enter Find out more
In On Click Behavior section for Button 1 select Close Message on Android and iOS

As we want to showcase a new product we will connect the Find out more button with the news article where you can add more details about the product. Check this article about creating news in CMS.

for Button 2 on Android and iOS select Deep Link Into App and add a link [app-scheme]://news?id=NEWSID where [app-scheme] is your URL Scheme and NEWSID is the last number in URL upon opening the respective News article in the CMS. Find out more about deep linking for news articles here.
NOTE: Please reach out to your Account Manager or open a ticket through one of our contact forms if you don't have your URL scheme yet.
For Message Close, choose Wait for User Swipe or Touch

We highly recommend you to stylize your In-app message to be in line with your app and brand.

Select Style tab and inside you can change the properties of text, buttons, and background. When satisfied with the style, save it for future use.

You can always test the message before sending it to real users:

Select Test tab
In Add Individual Users input field enter the email you are using to log in to the app
Click Send Test button

After testing, click Forward to progress to the next step

Step 2 - Delivery

In Delivery step select Start Session for the New Trigger Action
Click Add Trigger button

For the Schedule Delay choose immediately
In Campaign Duration section choose the campaign start and end date
In the Delivery Controls - Allow users to become re-eligible to receive campaign should be unselected as we don’t want to be pushy. That can harm our app ratings.
Click Forward to progress to the next step

Step 3 - Target Users

In Targeting Options section for Add Segment select previously created segment Smoothie Buyers

In the A/B Testing section unselect Control Group
Click Forward to progress to the next step

Set Conversion Deadline to 3 days
