Presenting offers as part of a campaign

Use conversion offers in a campaign to entice customers to convert or upgrade their subscription.

Offer rules determine which offers are displayed to which customers, and can be as simple or complex as your needs require.

Rules

At least one offer rule is required when creating a new campaign, but they can also be modified after the campaign has been created. Adjust offer rules when editing a campaign in the Rules section.

Campaign offer rules

Understanding rules

A rule consists of two parts:

  • Segments — segments subdivide your customers into groups based on payment criteria like MRR, billing interval, subscription duration or plan, data from your CRM or CDP or custom data from your application or service. Learn more about creating segments.
  • Offers — coupons and other enticements for customers to remain customers. Learn more about creating offers.

A rule defines which offers to show to customers based on the segments the customer is a part of. If a customer exists in any of the specified segments, the customer matches the rule and will be displayed one of the rule's offers.

Offer rule example

In the example above, any customers in the segments "Freemium trials" or "Trial almost over" would match the rule and be presented the "Extend trial" offer.

Rules can have multiple offers. When a rule has multiple offers, one is chosen randomly to display to the customer.

Rule evaluation

Rules are evaluated from the top down. When a customer matches a rule, rule evaluation stops and no more rules are evaluated.

For example, in the example below, if the customer matches the first rule, they will be presented with the "25% off first month" offer. The remaining rules will not be considered.

Offer rule evaluation example

If a customer matches a rule with no offers, then no offer is presented and rule evaluation stops.

Offer-specific conditions

Some offer types have additional requirements. For example, a trial extension offer will only be presented if the subscription is on trial.

During rule evaluation offers that can't be presented due to offer-specific conditions will be removed, and an offer will be selected randomly from those that remain. If no offers remain after excluding these, no offer will be presented and rule evaluation will stop.

Offer-specific conditions by offer type:

  • Coupon — By default, the subscription or customer must not have an active coupon. This default can be modified by your offer settings. Learn more about advanced offer scenarios.
  • Trial extension — The subscription must be a trial.
  • Change plan — No offer-specific conditions.
  • Custom — No offer-specific conditions.
