Activating Your First Pre-Configured Campaign

Activating Your First Pre-Configured Campaign

When you install Growth Suite, the app automatically creates a pre-configured campaign for you. This campaign is ready to use and sits in draft mode, waiting for your activation. The best part? You can get started in just a few simple steps without any complex setup.

This pre-configured campaign is designed to help you start seeing results immediately. It uses Growth Suite’s visitor behavior tracking and purchase intent prediction to show personalized, time-limited discount offers to visitors who are less likely to convert right away.

Step-by-Step Activation Process

Step 1: Navigate to Campaigns

First, locate the left menu in your Growth Suite dashboard and click on “Campaigns”. This will take you to your campaigns overview page.

Step 2: Open Your Draft Campaign

On the campaigns page, you’ll see your pre-configured campaign waiting in draft status. Simply click on this campaign to open it.

Step 3: Review Campaign Settings

Once you’re inside the campaign, click the “Edit” button located in the top-right corner of the page. This will show you exactly how your campaign is configured and allow you to make any necessary adjustments.

What to Review in Your Campaign Settings

Your pre-configured campaign comes with carefully optimized default settings. Here’s what you should check:

  • Discount Rates: The most important setting to review. Adjust these percentages based on your profit margins and business goals
  • Creative Elements: Check that the visual appearance matches your brand
  • Targeting Rules: Review who will see the offers (the defaults work well for most stores)
  • Timing Settings: Verify the countdown timer duration fits your strategy

Our Recommendation for First-Time Users

For your first campaign and learning process, we recommend keeping all default settings unchanged except for discount rates if needed. The pre-configured campaign is designed based on best practices and will help you understand how Growth Suite works.

Only adjust the discount percentages if they don’t align with your profit margins. Everything else – the targeting rules, timing, and creative elements – should work well as configured.

Activating Your Campaign

Once you’ve reviewed your settings:

  1. Click the “Save” button to save any changes you made
  2. Return to the campaign details page
  3. Click the “Activate Campaign” button at the top of the page

That’s it! Your campaign is now live and will start showing personalized offers to qualifying visitors.

How Your Campaign Looks to Visitors

Your activated campaign will create a seamless experience for your store visitors. When Growth Suite identifies a visitor who might benefit from an incentive, it will:

  • Generate a unique, time-limited discount code
  • Display a countdown timer showing the offer’s expiry
  • Show the discounted price directly on product pages
  • Add promotional elements to the cart page
  • Automatically apply the discount code for a smooth checkout experience

The following video demonstrates exactly how your visitors will see and interact with your Growth Suite campaign:

What Happens Next

After activation, your campaign will:

  • Track visitor behavior in real-time across your store
  • Predict purchase intent for each visitor
  • Show targeted offers only to visitors who need that extra incentive
  • Generate detailed analytics so you can see your campaign’s performance

You can monitor your campaign’s performance through Growth Suite’s comprehensive reporting dashboard, which includes funnel reports, product performance data, and purchase insights.

Ready to Get Started?

Activating your first pre-configured campaign is the fastest way to start benefiting from Growth Suite’s conversion optimization features. The entire process takes less than 5 minutes, and you’ll start seeing results as soon as visitors begin interacting with your store.

Remember: start simple with the pre-configured settings, let the campaign run for at least a week to gather data, then optimize based on your results. This approach will help you understand how Growth Suite works and maximize your conversion rates effectively.
