CherryPie is a simple yet powerful mobile marketing automation platform,
meticulously designed and crafted for marketers and agencies. CherryPie

CherryPie is now upon us, meaning that marketers now have access to an
entirely new form of mobile marketing automation. Each week, I’ll walk you
through a tutorial on how to get the most out of your experience with CherryPie.
This week, I’ll cover creating customer segmentations within CherryPie.
1. Create a contact listIt’s important that you create a contact list in the CRM, even if it’s blank. This is so that when you launch
your campaign and distribute passes, you are able to store customer data and see their history of actions
in that contact list.
Go to CRM —> Create Contact List
I don’t have existing contacts
Enter a name for this contact list and save the contact list if you don’t have contacts to upload at this time.
I have existing contacts
Download the CSV template to use as a template for uploading your existing contacts. We’ve provided
default headings for each column but feel free to also add your own. These variables can be used in
distributing passes and email templates (i.e. personalizing the email by name).
Unique fields
Unique fields are used to identify whether there is a duplicate in your contact list. For example, if you
specify ‘email’ as the unique field, CherryPie will check to see if they are already in the contact list. This
will help identify if a contact on the landing page or in the CSV is the same as the contact in the list or not.
If you don’t specify a unique field, CherryPie will not be able to check for duplicates.
2. Create customer segmentations
Use the headers in your CSV to create segmentations of customers. For
example, male/female, silver/platinum, status July birthdays, etc. Having
customer segmentations allow you to send targeted content to the relevant
contacts.
Once you’ve created your contact list, click on ‘Segmentations’ to create
different segments. You can add multiple rules and conditions for each
segment.
Fill in rules and conditions according to the segment you are creating. In this case, I am
creating a segment for gender. I named the segment “Male”, and then selected Gender
equals M in the rules. The items you select within “Rules” should match the items
under “Contacts” in the CRM tool.
3. Using your segmentsOnce you have created your segments, you will now want to put them to use. The
next step is to visit the campaigns page and select the “Share” icon next to the
campaign that your segment is under.
You will then select the contact list in which you want the segment to come from.
Select your segmentation and then select the email template.
Then click distribute.
Remember, the more segments you have the more you can personalize
your messages and the more effective your campaigns will be.
Adding segmentations to your campaigns is what sets mobile marketing
apart from other marketing channels, so be sure to take advantage of it.
