Events

Cheetah Digital Loyalty Events lets you define events for your members to attend. You can create Events to target specific member segments to maximize the effectiveness of each Event. You can optionally add one or more presenters to the event, and choose an existing survey challenge for attendees to complete.

Setting Up Events

Content Management

Use Cheetah Digital Loyalty’s Content Management capabilities to manage your Events:

• Status. Use status to specify when an Event is in use. Change the status to change the visibility of the Event to members. Valid statuses are ‘Draft’, ‘Published’, and ‘Archived’.
• Effectivity. Change the effectivity to designate the timeframe for which members can view and respond to each Event. Valid effectivities are ‘Always’ and ‘Schedule’.
• Categories. Organize records into categories. Client applications use categories to show subsets of records to members.
• Tags. Add one or more tags to help you search, filter, and organize your records. Tags are only visible and usable in the Cheetah Digital Loyalty Marketing Console: you can modify and create tags, but your members are not be able to see or access the tags.
• Assignee. Choose an assignee to give ownership or responsibility to one or more Marketers. You can easily find the tasks assigned to a specific Marketer by searching for a name in the Search textbox.

• Business Value. Use business value to give a monetary value for each response.
• Prizes. Use prizes to add incentives for members to submit responses. You can specify a metric to award to the member for submitting a response, or you can award secondary prizes such an entry into a sweepstakes or a reward from your reward catalog. Awarding only occures on approval of the response.

Managing Event Responses

Use the Event | Responses screen to view responses for one Event.

Each response has a status:

• Submitted. The member has submitted the response but it is not yet accepted nor rejected.
• Approved. The response has been approved, either manually by a Marketer or automatically with the auto-approve feature
• Rejected. The response has been rejected by a Marketer and is ineligible to receive any prizes. You must manually reject a response. You can add a message to the member regarding the rejection and give the member the opportunity to re-submit a response.

Using Event Dashboards

Use the Event | Dashboard screen to analyze the responses for one Event. You can analyze:

• Views. The number of times that an Event was viewed.
• Responses. The number of Event Responses.
