Use Case Examples
Example 1: National Holiday Reward – USA Independence Day
Scenario
You want to reward customers from the USA with bonus points on the USA Independence Day (July 4), as part of a country-specific holiday campaign.
Expected Result
On July 4th, all customers whose country is set to the USA will automatically receive reward points (e.g., 200 points). Customers from other countries will not be affected by this rule. This helps create localized engagement and shows appreciation for customers during important national events.
Rule Configuration
Step-by-step guide:
- Set the Custom Reward Date on which the selected customers should receive the reward points.
- Configure the Country condition to ensure that only specific customers (for example, from the USA) will activate this rule.
- Specify the Reward Points Amount that should be granted to the customer on the selected date (for example, 200 reward points).
Example 2: Reward on Store’s Birthday
Scenario
Your store is running a special promotion to celebrate its founding date. You want all customers to receive bonus points on this date annually.
Expected Result
On the store’s anniversary (e.g., July 15th), all customers will be rewarded with points (e.g., 150 points). This rule runs once per year and is a great way to boost engagement during your store’s birthday campaign.
Rule Configuration
Step-by-step guide:
- Set the Custom Reward Date on which the selected customers should receive the reward points.
- Leave Conditions empty to apply the rule for all the customers.
- Specify the Reward Points Amount that should be granted to the customer on the selected date (for example, 150 reward points).
