Segmentation Strategy: Boost Average Check via Spend-Based Targeting

Increasing Average Check​

Amping up your marketing strategy to focus on engagement and habit building can be done by building campaigns encouraging guests to spend more.​

Strategy​

Target your guests using segmentation based on their recent historical average check or purchase behavior.

​How do I know my Average Check is good?

There’s a couple of considerations here. The first is your goal! The second is reviewing your Spend Lift. Is Spend Lift a positive percentage? That means loyalty members spend more than non-loyalty members. ​

  • Average Check = Total Loyalty Revenue / ​Total Loyalty Transactions
  • Spend Lift = (Loyalty Avg Check - Non-Loyalty Avg Check) / Non-Loyalty Avg Check​

​​Segment Configuration

Segment Based on Recent Average Check

  • Segment Type: Checkins
  • Attributes:
    • Total Loyalty Checkins: Make sure the guest checked in enough times to establish an average​
    • Checkin Date: Look at recent data. Preferably one year or less.​
    • Amount Spent: Set the calculation to average. Create multiple segments with different average ranges that you’ll use to pair up with coinciding offers.

Segment Based on Purchase Behavior

  • Segment Type: Checkins
  • Attribute:
    • Total Loyalty Checkins: Make sure the guest checked in enough times to establish a pattern of not purchasing a specific item.
  • Use the Contains Receipt Tag segment type to Not Include guests who have purchased a certain item.

Use this segment type to target guests with offers to try something new. For example, for guests who have not purchased dessert before, you can offer $2 off their next dessert purchase using a Mass Campaign.
