How to use

Building Campaigns

Creating Reachdesk Campaigns

  1. Bundle - using items from our warehouses (currently UK, EU, APAC warehouses)
  2. E- Gift cards and reward Pass - sending e-gift cards, can choose from a vast selection, region specific. It is recommended to include min 3 types of cards
  3. Handwritten Note
  4. Marketplace - send a physical gift e.g food hampers, flowers, gift boxes etc

Bundle

  1. Enter campaign name e.g. On-Boarding Bundle.
  2. Select warehouse. Example: EU for European sends and UK warehouse for UK ONLY sends.
  3. Use the drop down to select what items you would like to send. Note you will need to have stock in your inventory first to do this.
  4. Add a note. TIP - Make sure you always add a handwritten note to increase response rate.
  5. Then click save! This will then appear in your Campaigns tab.

E-Gift cards and reward pass

Gift cards are a great start as there is no sourcing required, cost effective (as you get your money back in 14 days if unclaimed) and instantaneous. Gift cards are sent as an email so ensure you add in a template including subject line and body. A full list of E-Gift cards are here Note - gift cards must be built in the currency of the country you're sending to e.g. Uber Eats GBP only works in the UK not in Germany or Norway etc.

Handwitten Note

Send a personalised note. However there are character limitations

Marketplace

Reachdesk marketplace allows you to choose from a range of confectionary, flowers, cakes and other perishables from approved third party providers so you can send gifts on a 1-to-1 basis as an out-of-the- box feature. All items can be customised to give that personal touch. Items can be viewed here or you can also view items on the campaign build section without actually building the campaign.

Please refer to GitLab's policies related to Gifts and Contributions here
