Features
Push Notification Scheduling + Improvements
You can now schedule push notifications to be sent at your preferred time. Additionally, we've introduced a preview feature that allows you to see how your notification will appear on customer devices.
Missions
Missions will help to efficiently transition customers from casual walk-ins to loyal regulars. Customers will be rewarded with points, encouraging continued engagement. At launch, we have introduced two types of achievements: Sign Up Bonus and App Download Bonus.
Upcoming missions will include opting in to marketing, providing an email during signup, hitting a pre-determined number of orders, and buying products from specific categories.
Examples:
- Make 5 online orders and get 150 points
- Buy 10 Flower products and get 100 points
We have also redesigned the rewards page layout for a more participatory and user-friendly experience. These new features will significantly enhance the customer journey and drive loyalty.
Missions will have a counter tracking the actions a user needs to take to earn their prize (eg. 1/5 orders). Customers unlock the prize once the mission is completed and the counter reaches eg 5/5. Once earned, customers must claim their prize, this creates greater engagement with your program.
<aside> 💡 Please note, all pre-existing bonuses have been converted into completed missions. </aside>New Discount Type: Fixed Price
You can now use the "Fixed Price" deal type to showcase your special offers on Carrot. This is useful when creating a promotion where a variety of products are discounted to the same price.
Customer Activity Filters
You can now easily filter the customer activity page in the Admin App based on desired event types, such as displaying only Carrot orders or redemptions.
