Encourage follow up sales by sending an automatic ‘thank you’ discount after a gallery visitor completes a purchase. The promotional discount can be used towards any future order and is limited to a certain amount of time to generate a sense of urgency. This proven sales strategy welcomes the visitor back to the store and encourages them to purchase additional items.

1. Go to your Sales & Automations from the Main Dashboard, and from the Automations tab, click + More Automations.

2. Select the Post Order Promotion app from the list of available apps, and click Install App.

3. Name your app and click Add Automation App.

4. Now you can start modifying your app settings. You can choose to select certain products you wish to trigger the campaign to begin once the item is ordered. Click the pencil icon to add the triggering items. Integrating Limit Gift Products into your Post Order Promotion automation enhances targeted marketing efforts, helping your client receive a discount specialized for them.

5. Choose the triggering items and click Apply.

6. Next, choose the campaign duration. The campaign will start for each user once they place their order. The campaign duration is the time frame after the order is placed.

7. Set your duration, then click Apply.

8. Add the discount you would like to offer to your client.

9. Here you can modify the discount, description, code, whether you want to apply free shipping, whether you want to have a minimum order amount for this coupon, if you want to allow discount stacking or if you want to limit the coupon to specific products. For more information on what discounts you can offer, click here. Click Apply when you are ready to save your changes.

10. You can now modify the emails as part of your campaign. First adjust the trigger, if you would like to delay the announcement email and reminder emails. This will not delay the start of your campaign but only delay the email send settings.

11. You can choose to delay the email to an optimized schedule, or send at the earliest possible time. In this case it is from the time the client last edited their shopping cart. Emails are opened more often at a specific time of the day and Pic-Time offers those times. Click Apply. To learn more about receiving a BCC copy of emails sent by apps, read our article here.

12. Editing emails is easy. Your announcement email will go out at the start of the campaign. You can also add email reminders before the expiration of the campaign. Click in the pencil icon to edit the email.

13. To start editing the email, begin by adjusting the banner image. Click Change Image.

14. You can upload your own image, choose to use the cover photo of the gallery, or choose one of the pre-made images provided by Pic-Time.

15. Once you choose your banner image, you can modify the email subject, message title, email message and button text. Once you have reviewed your text, click Apply to save your changes.

16. If you don’t want to send out a certain email, you can click the trash icon to delete it.

17. We can now begin customizing your banners. There are 5 types of banners: text banner, large banner, photo banner, product row, and store rotator. Each banner has various editable parameters. Click on the pencil icon to begin editing. Learn more about all the banner options here.

18. You can also click on the trashcan icon to remove any banners.

19. After you have modified your app, you can leave an internal note to yourself and click Save to save the app.

Now you’re ready to assign your apps to galleries! When you assign the app to a gallery, then the campaign will begin. Learn more about assigning apps to galleries here.
