Learn how to add offline marketing channels to promote your coupons and reach new customers the old-school way.
How do marketing channels work in CircusOffers?
A marketing channel in CircusOffers is a place where you publish your coupons. Depending on your Coupon Strategy you might want to publish your coupons on social channels where you have a large base of customers that follow you, or you might be interested in reaching new customers with an ad campaign, or maybe you want to send your customers your coupon book directly via private messages, or it could be that you want people passing by your store to access your coupon book by scanning a QR-code.
Regardless of what strategy you use for your coupons, you should be able to identify which marketing channel has the best ROI.

- Language - Some businesses manage their coupons in multiple languages to provide their customers with a better coupon experience. If you have added one or more languages to your company, then you will be able to identify your printed marketing channels by language. (Example: Local News - Business Section - English and Local News - Business Section - German)
Remember that every audience behaves differently, so it could be that one printed marketing channel works better than another for some coupons, but you won't find out unless you test your audiences in different conditions.
Remember to access the Log on the right panel menu to see who has made any changes to your Prints settings.
