Quick Start Guide: Intro to Alyce Campaigns

At Alyce, we like to keep things organized. When you purchase Alyce, an Organization is created for you. Your Organization is then organized into Teams. From there, you can build Campaigns to create a gifting structure. This structure includes budgets, who can send gifts, how invitations are sent, when gifts expire, and what gifts are available.

The structure looks something like this:

An organization can have as many or as few teams as you need, and each team can have unlimited campaigns.

What are the types of campaigns? When do you use each?

Personal Gifting
- 1:1 gifting, this is “traditional” gifting. Select a gift and write a personal note to a specific person. Perfect for recipients with whom you already have a relationship - mid-sales cycle, customer loyalty, post-event catch-up.
- Works great with integrations such as HubSpot, Salesforce, Eloqua, and more. Check out What Integrations are Available for Use with Alyce?
1:Many
- For sending to large groups of recipients. 1:Many Campaigns generate a link that can be sent as part of a message through your Marketing Automation Platform. Perfect for thanking webinar and conference attendees, holiday gifting, pre-event promotions, and other large lists where you may not have a close relationship with the recipients. Please note that no email invitations are sent through Alyce for this campaign type.
- Select a single URL for your team or use unique links to book time on individual calendars
- Ideal for use with Marketo, HubSpot workflows
Prospecting
- Created with BDRs in mind! Prospecting Campaings allow you to create a message, and select up to 3 default gifts. BDRs can then personalize the gifts and send them out in batches. Gift invites are emailed through Alyce or from your own integrated email.
Redemption Card
- Created with conferences and live events in mind, Redemption Card Campaigns generate batches of numbered cards. Prospects enter their unique code on the Alyce website to claim their gift. Curate the perfect collection of gifts for recipients to choose from. These campaigns allow the power of choice, without having to haul your swag closet to the conference!

Answering the following questions before getting started can help you build a better campaign:

What is the reason for gifting?
Who will be receiving a gift?
How much do you want to spend, per person?
Who is the gift coming from?
How will you be sending invitations?

Campaign Budgets

Budgets for campaigns are set in 2 ways.

The first is in the campaign budget. This sets the value of any gift that can be claimed. Physical products (items that can be sent in a box) have a budget range, while donations and gift cards have a set value.
The second is gift invite limits.

NOTE: 'Gift Limits' / 'Gift Invites' is a legacy feature. Please see Team Budgets for details on the latest functionality. If you need help, please contact [email protected].

This setting restricts the number of gifts each individual can send from a Personal Gifting or Prospecting Campaign. Any person on a team can be granted gift invites for a campaign. Leaving the default value of 0 means a user cannot send a gift in the campaign. Invites can be set to never refresh, refresh weekly, refresh monthly, or refresh quarterly (calendar year quarters).

Who can change settings?

Any team admin can update the campaign settings. Admins are configured in Team Settings

Settings that affect gifts can be configured at the Team or Campaign level.
