Drip campaigns, or drip marketing is a communication strategy that sends a series of customized review requests in the form of SMS message, or emails sent to customers over time based on how they interact with your review requests. Drip campaigns help maximize customer engagement with your review requests.
If you send a review request to a customer that has a phone number and email, TrueReview will create a drip campaign. First, the customer will receive the SMS review request, then based on customer interaction, they will receive follow up requests via email. If you don't include a phone number, the email will be sent first.
TrueReview determines when to send follow up review requests via email based on several factors and depending on which contact type you have selected.
The goal of the drip campaign is to get customers to your review websites, or to get them to submit feedback.
If the review request was opened, and feedback was submitted due to a negative experience, TrueReview will stop the drip campaign.
If the review request was opened, however the customer did not indicate their experience, submit survey or click on the review websites, TrueReview will continue to send follow up review requests until either the review website link is clicked, or it runs out of follow up requests.
There is a maximum of 3 times that an email can be sent to a customer within the same campaign.
1. First, make sure your review request SMS and Email messages are correct by going to your Settings tab.
To edit your SMS message and image, click on "1. Review Request".
To edit your Emails, click on any of the 3 emails and customize the text to your liking.
2. By default, if both SMS and Email are present for your customer, we will activate the drip campaign. If only the email is present, we will only activate the drip campaign for emails. You can customize the messages and the number of days to wait before sending the first email as well as the rest of the emails.
