With <strong>pre-configured scenarios<\/strong>, <strong>dynamic audiences<\/strong> and <strong>advanced personalisation features<\/strong>, you can deploy high-performing customer journeys effortlessly while keeping full control of your strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Loyalty scenarios integrated into Probance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Automated journeys designed to strengthen the customer relationship throughout the lifecycle<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By default, Probance includes a set of automated emailing scenarios dedicated to customer loyalty. Designed according to the best practices of relationship marketing, they enable you to maintain a personalised, relevant and consistent connection with each customer, from the first contact through to reactivation.<br><br><strong>Welcome<\/strong> <strong>&#8211; creating a strong initial connection<\/strong><br>The <em>Welcome <\/em>scenario allows you to greet your new contacts and establish a relationship of trust from the very beginning. It presents the brand, its story and values, as well as highlighting its benefits and strengths to encourage purchase.<br><strong>Probance advantage: <\/strong>dynamic content showcasing trending products, along with personalised recommendations based on the user\u2019s initial behaviour. Designed to welcome your new contacts and lay the foundations for a strong relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Birthday \u2013 enhancing the individual relationship<br><\/strong>Celebrate your customers at key moments in their journey: their birthday, the anniversary of their registration, or their first purchase.<br><strong>Probance advantage:<\/strong> we send the most relevant campaign based on customer data: the birthday when available, otherwise the first purchase, or if not, the registration date. It is also possible to generate discount vouchers on the fly for certain types of customers, for example members whose annual purchase value exceeds a set threshold. All of this can be accompanied by personalised recommendations based on your contacts\u2019 behaviour to strengthen their attachment to your brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Inactive \u2013 re-engage before disengagement<\/strong><br>Reactivate dormant contacts before they disengage completely.<br><strong>Probance advantage:<\/strong> a dedicated reactivation scenario, including a discount coupon and a selection of <strong>the top-selling trending products<\/strong>. Highlighting these products helps spark curiosity, showcase the best of the current offering, and increase the chances of re-engaging the member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Regular newsletter \u2013 nurturing the relationship<br><\/strong>This scenario allows you to maintain regular, consistent and engaging communication with your customers.<br><strong>Probance advantage:<\/strong> thanks to automated product blocks, each newsletter highlights trends or new arrivals tailored to the contact\u2019s preferred categories, <strong>without ever showing the same selection twice.<\/strong><br>Ideally, several manual newsletters would be sent each month, but maintaining a consistent marketing calendar can be challenging. An automated, regular newsletter therefore helps <strong>reduce workload<\/strong> while providing active members with a monthly showcase of the latest trends and new products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Cross-sell \u2013 increasing purchase frequenc<\/strong>y<\/strong><br>Designed for customers who have already made a purchase, this scenario encourages additional purchases by automatically recommending products that complement those already bought.<br><strong>Probance advantage:<\/strong> two automated campaigns that leverage purchase history to suggest the most relevant combinations and <strong>increase purchase frequency.<\/strong><br>By recommending products that are genuinely relevant and aligned with recent purchases, you <strong>make the customer experience easier<\/strong>, help customers complete previous purchases, and encourage more frequent buying.<br>Result: a stronger relationship and enhanced loyalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Probance loyalty scenarios leverage the power of data and automation to deliver a personalised and lasting customer experience, without any manual effort on your part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/doc.probance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/LOGO.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-36493\" style=\"width:488px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/doc.probance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/LOGO.png 550w, https:\/\/doc.probance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/LOGO-236x300.png 236w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Example of a &#8220;Regular newsletter&#8221; campaign<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>What if you added a promo code to your scenarios?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Promotional codes integrated into your automated emails significantly enhance the effectiveness of your scenarios.
