Adding categories for your offers
Use the Categories page in Subscription Settings to set filters that help your team locate offer campaigns in the Retail > Campaigns page. Setting these values is optional.
Scenario: Organizing offers for easier campaign management
You’re planning a series of seasonal campaigns: a summer sale, a back-to-school promotion, and a major election-year subscription drive. To make these offers easy for your team to find and manage later, you start by setting up categories.
You create a top-level categories called Seasonal Promotions and add subcategories like Summer and Back-to-School. For the election campaign, you create a separate category called Special Coverage, with a subcategory Politics and a detail of Election 2024.
Later, when your team is building offers in Retail > Campaigns, they can assign these categories to each offer. For example, the Independence Day discount is tagged under Seasonal Promotions > Summer, while the election subscription drive is tagged under Special Coverage > Politics.
Later, when you need to review campaign performance, you open the Campaigns page and filter by Seasonal Promotions to compare the summer and back-to-school campaigns side by side.
