How to add Announcements

What is it?

Brands have the possibility to highlight one news article to their customers. This is done by using the Announcement functionality.

Why is it useful?

Brands can communicate any type of announcement and make it available to every user upon opening the app. The examples could be:

• New offer announcement

• Promote loyalty program

• New store opening

• New order type available

• Campaigns

• Alert customers regarding allergens and cross-contamination

• Educate customers

CMS Configuration

Brands can add and configure the look&feel of the each article in the CMS, for example by adding an image.

The article will be shown in both mobile and web app.

It's really worth trying, especially if there are any dynamic changes happening in brand's venue that are worth highlighting to keep customers in the loop.
This might also work very good as an incentive to participate in promotional streaks.
