Digital engagement / follow-up
Follow up on the customer's next need, not on a sending schedule
A useful post-delivery message addresses a real unresolved step or a relevant service question. Optional marketing is a separate purpose and should not interrupt access to an earned benefit.
Choose the purpose of the follow-up
Before sending another message, identify what information is known and why the recipient needs an update.
| Purpose | Appropriate focus |
|---|---|
| Delivery not resolved | Help the recipient find the official message or support route. |
| Access step not complete | Explain the supported next step without assuming the cause. |
| Relevant service information | Provide an accurate update related to the reward conditions. |
| Optional promotion | Keep it distinct from receiving or using the existing reward and follow applicable permissions. |
Do not infer behavior from incomplete records
A send record does not tell you the message was read. Lack of reported card usage does not prove the recipient ignored it. Use only reliable information to determine whether a reminder is relevant, and avoid repeated messages that contradict what the customer has already completed.
Respect the existing promise
Do not make another Shopify purchase or marketing action appear necessary to receive an already-earned benefit unless it was genuinely part of the applicable original offer. A customer seeking help should be able to reach support without engaging with a new campaign.
