# What are Tablevibe Marketing Campaigns?

> Learn how our Referral Program and SMS Campaigns help you grow your business.

Marketing Campaigns consist of a [Referral Program](#h_58477d6234) and [SMS Campaigns](#h_246ebbaf1d).

[The Referral Program](#h_2843fa0ba8) rewards your customers for sharing your shop with others. [SMS Campaigns](#h_246ebbaf1d) send relevant messages to segments of your customer base based on purchase behaviour.

These services are bundled as "Marketing Campaigns" and they are an optional add-on in our ordering system. A subscription fee applies. To add Marketing Campaigns to your account, contact your account manager or email [hello@tablevibe.co](mailto:hello@tablevibe.co).

#### 1. Referral Program

[1.1 How does the Referral Program work?](#h_1e765eb07c)

[1.2 How do I set up the Referral Program?](#h_c5f90a3ad5)

[1.3 What should I keep in mind?](#h_4004dc8a7e)

##### 1.1 How does the Referral Program work?

After placing an order on your shop, your customers see a referral link which they can share with their friends and family on social media, messaging apps or via email.

The inviter (customer who placed an order) shares a referral link with the invitee. When the invitee places their first order, they both get a reward.

##### 1.2 How do I set up the Referral Program?

Visit *[kitchen.tablevibe.co](http://kitchen.tablevibe.co) > Marketing > Referrals*. Switch on the Referral Program, add your referral rewards and click on "*Save*". Your Referral Program is now turned on. No further action is required.

##### 1.3 What should I keep in mind?

- **Rewards are required:** The referral program requires a reward. This can be a % (eg. 25%) of fixed amount (eg. $10) discount. If you already offer a discount to first-time customers, we recommend extending it to the referral program.
- **No free deliveries:** Free deliveries cannot be offered as a reward.
- **Referral rewards take priority over first-time customer promotions:** If you use referral rewards in combination with first-time customer promotions, invitees will see the referral reward on your shop's front page. At checkout however, they can see all available promotions.
- **Rewards can be awarded multiple times, but don't stack:** Inviters will receive a reward for each referral, but rewards don't stack. For example, if someone refers two people and receives a 10% discount for each referral, they get 10% off on two separate orders, not 20% off on a single order.
- **Inviter receives reward after invitee places an order:** The reward becomes available to the inviter when the invitee paid for their order.

### 2. SMS Campaigns

[2.1 How do SMS Campaigns work?]()

[2.2 How do I set up SMS Campaigns?](#h_c00ee29147)

[2.3 Best practices](#h_201a4cbc9a)

##### 2.1 How do SMS Campaigns work?

SMS campaigns segment your customer database and send highly targeted messages to your audience based on past purchase behaviour. With the right message and discount, 5-10% of people who receive an SMS will place an order with you. This is far more than traditional 1.4% email marketing *click rates* ([source](https://mailchimp.com/resources/email-marketing-benchmarks/)).

##### 2.2 How do I set up SMS Campaigns?

Visit [kitchen.tablevibe.co]() to create a Customer Segment and set up a Campaign containing the SMS message.

To create a Customer Segment, visit *[kitchen.tablevibe.co](http://kitchen.tablevibe.co) > Customers > Segments > + New Customer Segment*. Create multiple relevant segments if needed. Click on Save.

To send SMS messages, visit *[kitchen.tablevibe.co](http://kitchen.tablevibe.co) > Marketing > Campaigns*. Enter the relevant details. Your SMS message **should always contain the promotion, the promo code, a call to action and your Shop URL (eg.**[https://arthurspizza.tablevibe.co](https://arthurspizza.tablevibe.co)). Click on Save.

**2.3. Multi Brand Campaigns**

SMS messages are sent on a brand level. If for example a customer is eligible to receive a message from more than 1 brand, it will receive an update from the brand that triggered the campaign first. The customer will *only* receive a message from the next succeeding brands' campaign if the customer has not received a message from your business in the last 30 days.

##### 2.4. Best practices

Your SMS message should contain maximum 160 characters ([check SMS length calculator](https://freetools.textmagic.com/sms-length-calculator)) and **should always contain the promotion, the promo code, a call to action and your Shop URL**. Don't forget to add "At checkout" so customers know how to redeem the promo code. For example:

- We missed you! Get {DISCOUNT} OFF your next {restaurant name} order over {minimum order value}. Visit {shop URL} today and use code {discount code} at checkout.
- We missed you! Order from Arthur's Pizza today and get 15% OFF on your order! Use code 15OFF at checkout on [https://arthurspizza.tablevibe.co](https://arthurspizza.tablevibe.co)
- Black Friday deal: Get free delivery on all Arthur’s Pizza orders until 5 Dec! Use code BLACK at checkout on [https://arthurspizza.tablevibe.co](https://arthurspizza.tablevibe.co)
- Live large at Burger Villains! Spend $100, Save $20. Don’t miss out – order today at [https://burgervillains.tablevibe.co](https://burgervillains.tablevibe.co) and add code SAVE20 at checkout.

For the best conversions rates, we recommend scheduling SMS messages 1-2 hours prior to your peak hours and offering at least 10% off. Eg. If Friday 6-8pm is your peak time, send your message at 5pm. You can also send SMS messages to boost orders during off-peak hours. While still valuable, your conversion rates will likely be lower.
