Smart Coupons

Smart Coupons give you the control you need to trigger messages with the logic that stays in line with your business goals.

Why you should use it

Generate unique codes for customers. Offer free shipping on products purchased, run limited-time promos, or provide a discount when a customer buys something that exceeds a certain amount.

Market to your customers dynamically

Smart Coupons give you the control you need to trigger messages at the right time with the logic that stays in line with your business goals. With this new tool, you can automatically generate unique codes for all kinds of situations. For example, offer free shipping on products purchased or provide a discount when a customer buys something that exceeds a certain amount. Also, you can send messages to a segment of customers, set usage limits, and start/end dates for when coupon codes are valid.

Each code generated through our Smart Coupons workflow is unique. From a marketing perspective, this is especially powerful because you’ll be able to dial in precisely who needs to receive the coupon. Maybe reward your best customers, run flash sales, or promote the incentive to purchase complementary products. Not to mention with Smart Coupons, you’ll guard against outdated coupon situations that could cause a negative business impact.
