Challenges addressed

Increase the revenue

Summary

This use case focuses on managing and distributing personalized coupon campaigns through Synerise's promotion engine, with unique codes, redemption rules, and real-time tracking. Specifically, "Discount for a product complementary to the product viewed" enables your team to encourage your customers to buy more by offering a discount for complementary products. This implementation balances ease of setup with meaningful business impact.

Example Scenario

Your e-commerce platform runs a flash sale where each customer receives a unique coupon code with a discount percentage based on their loyalty tier. The coupon is delivered via their preferred channel, has a 48-hour expiration, and is limited to one use. The system tracks redemptions in real time, automatically closes expired coupons, and feeds redemption data back into the customer profile for future targeting.

Business Challenge

Solution

Synerise's Promotions module generates and manages unique coupon codes with configurable rules including discount type (percentage, fixed, free shipping), usage limits, expiration, minimum order value, and product/category restrictions. Coupons integrate with Automation Flows for triggered distribution and Dynamic Content for on-site display. Real-time redemption tracking feeds into analytics and customer profiles.

This implementation leverages Synerise's Experience Hub for crafting personalized customer journeys, dynamic content, and interactive engagement experiences across all digital touchpoints and Automation Hub for building event-driven workflows, multi-step customer journeys, and triggered actions that run 24/7 without manual intervention. The solution delivers results through website interactions including browsing behavior, on-site engagement, and web-based content delivery.
