There are two ways to create/select a template, depending on whether you already have created a template or not.
a. Select template
If you already have existing templates you will see a dropdown. Select the template you want to use for this campaign. You can select the existing template from the dropdown. If you select 'Duplicate' from the dropdown you can either duplicate the template (and then make edits) or edit that existing one. you can also delete a template you no longer need.
b. Create template
If you have not created a template before then you will see the 'Get Started' button which you need to click. If you have already created a template, but want to make another one from scratch you will also have the option to select the 'Create New Template' button.
c. General settings
You are taken to a 'General Settings' section to start creating your campaign.
Here you can name your template, add your logo and select the review sites you want to direct users to, as well as select the NPS score.
Template name: Here you can give the template a name so you can reuse it for other locations.
Upload Logo: Here you can click on the 'Add Files' button to upload a picture of your logo. Or simply drag files into the box. If no logo is uploaded, we will display the business name instead.
NSP Slider
Next you'll see the NPS Slider under 'Set your Feedback (NPS) Score'.
When we contact customers to ask them to review the business, they can select a feedback score (0-10: 0 = terrible; 10 = amazing).
We use the NPS (Net Promoter Score) approach for determining customer satisfaction.
Use the slider to set what’s considered a ‘positive score’ threshold for the location. This will be used to differentiate between a 'Promoter' and a 'Detractor' when setting up your campaign.
Once you are happy with the settings on this page click 'Next' in the bottom of right hand corner of the page.
