Use Cases & Campaigns

How do I send different reactivation messages based on a customer's previous purchases?

Export your inactive customers with what they last bought, group them by product or category, and write a reactivation message for each group. One Yotru campaign can carry all of those messages, with each card personalized to the customer and carrying its own QR code and landing page.

The Yotru answer

One generic "we miss you" card for every inactive customer wastes the most useful thing you know about them. Add a column with their last product or category to your export, and each group can get a message that makes sense for what they actually use, such as a reorder reminder, an upgrade or a related product.

How clients ask it

  • Can each customer get a message based on what they bought?
  • How do I segment a reactivation campaign by product?
  • Can one postcard campaign have several versions?

Example message groups

Last purchaseReactivation angle
Consumables or suppliesA reorder reminder with an easy way to order
Equipment or a one-time projectService, maintenance or the next project
An older version of your productWhat's improved since, and how to upgrade
One product line onlyA related product that customers often add

Preparing the list

Export inactive customers from your CRM or accounting system with contact name, company, business address, last purchase date and a product or category column. Upload the file, assign each group its message, and review a sample card from every group before you approve and pay.

How we look at it at Yotru

Purchase history is the best personalization data most businesses already have. Each group's QR scans also show which reactivation angle works, which helps the next round. For the broader approach, see win-back postcards for former customers.
