Smart Campaigns

PocketSuite allows you to put your SMS text marketing on autopilot with Smart Campaigns. You can send messages to targeted groups of clients quickly and auto-magically. This feature makes it possible to send general announcements to all clients (such as a sale or location moving notice), share specific instructions with clients before or after a session, wish a client happy birthday, follow up on a missed call, entice clients who haven't booked you in a while to come back, and much, much more!

Smart Campaigns are a game-changer for growing your business, and it only takes a few minutes to launch your first campaign. For example, in the time it takes to set up a Summer sales campaign, you can grow your income by 25% this quarter by reengaging clients who haven't booked you in a while.

To get started, be sure the feature is on in Settings > Features > Smart campaigns > Save.

Create a smart campaign

To get started, go to your home dashboard, scroll down, and tap Smart Campaigns

This is your Smart Campaign dashboard. Here, you can find a list of all your active and past campaigns, top up your credit balance, and create new campaigns. To create a campaign, tap the plus sign (+) at the top of the screen. 

 

You can choose from over a dozen types of campaigns to run. Each campaign segments your clients into a group. Tap your preferred campaign. 

Pro tip: Use the “Make an Announcement” campaign to send a message to all of your clients.

 

Next, add a campaign label and your campaign message. Each smart campaign comes with a customizable template that you can edit to fit your branding. You can find more recommended sms message templates below. 

 

Tap Promotion if you want to give your recipients a special discount on all or just one specific service or product. Select the item included in the promotion or no item at all if you’d like the discount to apply to all of your services and products, add the discount amount, and tap Done.

 

Here, you can also decide when your campaign will be triggered. Tap the number sign (#). Select your time frame and tap the back button.

Note: The available time frames depend on the type of campaign. For example, you can send a “Reach out to past clients” campaign anywhere from seven days to one year since their last purchase. You can also choose to Send immediately for some campaign types. 

 

Tap Preview to see how the text will appear to clients. 

Tap Save, and choose whether to launch your campaign right away or save it to edit later.

And you’re all set! Your campaign will be sent out when clients trigger the campaign event, e.g., by booking an appointment or placing an online order. The campaign sends twenty-five messages every half hour until you run out of credits or all the clients in your target audience have been contacted. Use your Smart Campaign Dashboard to track the results of your campaign. 

Important: You get ten free Smart Campaign credits when you sign up for PocketSuite. Each credit sends one campaign message to one client. To add more credits, go to your Smart Campaign dashboard and tap on your credit balance. Here, you can set your credit budget and add a payment method. Smart Campaign credits are 10 cents each.
