Creating a campaign in PureClarity involves configuring who sees what content, where, and when. Click Add Campaign on the Campaign List to begin building your personalized customer experience.
PureClarity guides you through a series of configuration options that control the complete campaign behavior: audience targeting, placement, timing, and content selection.

​
Campaign Creation Process

​
Step 1: Define Campaign Location

Select Target Zone Choose the zone where your campaign will appear. Zones represent specific areas on your website where personalized content displays. Common zone types:
  • Homepage zones: Welcome areas, featured product sections
  • Product page zones: Related products, alternative suggestions
  • Cart zones: Upsell opportunities, recommended additions
  • Category zones: Relevant products within specific categories
You can create new zones directly from the campaign creation interface. Remember to implement these zones in your e-commerce platform for them to appear on your site.
Context Configuration Depending on your selected zone type, you may need to specify additional context:
  • Product groups: Which product categories to target
  • URL patterns: Specific pages or page types
  • Customer journey stage: New visitors vs. returning customers
  • Behavioral triggers: Actions that activate the campaign

​
Step 2: Define Your Audience

Select Customer Segment Choose the customer segment that should see this campaign: Segment options:
  • Everyone: Universal campaigns visible to all visitors
  • New customers: First-time visitors or recent sign-ups
  • Returning customers: Previous purchasers or frequent visitors
  • High-value customers: Based on purchase history or behavior
  • Custom segments: Tailored audience criteria you’ve defined
Multiple campaigns can target the same zone with different segments, enabling sophisticated personalization where different customer types see different content.
Creating New Segments If your desired audience doesn’t exist, create a new segment directly:
  1. Define criteria: Age, location, purchase history, behavior patterns
  2. Set conditions: Combine multiple criteria with AND/OR logic
  3. Test segment size: Preview how many customers match your criteria
  4. Save and apply: Use immediately in your campaign
Attribution Audiences PureClarity automatically creates “Audiences” segments when you set up attribution tracking:
  • High converters: Customers with strong purchase patterns
  • Browser segments: Customers who browse but don’t purchase
  • Product affinity: Customers interested in specific categories
  • Engagement levels: Based on site interaction patterns

​
Step 3: Schedule Campaign Timing

Date and Time Controls Set when your campaign should be active: Start date/time:
  • Immediate activation: Leave blank to start immediately
  • Scheduled launch: Set specific start date and time
  • Seasonal timing: Coordinate with sales periods or events
End date/time:
  • Ongoing campaigns: Leave blank for permanent campaigns
  • Limited-time offers: Set specific end date and time
  • Event-based: Align with promotional periods
Campaign timing is crucial for seasonal promotions. Set up Black Friday, Christmas, or sale campaigns in advance to ensure smooth activation.
Use cases for timed campaigns:
  • Flash sales: 24-48 hour promotional periods
  • Seasonal promotions: Holiday-specific product recommendations
  • Product launches: Time-sensitive new product highlights
  • Inventory clearance: Limited-time offers for specific products

​
Step 4: Organization and Tracking

Campaign Tags Use tags to group and organize related campaigns: Recommended tag categories:
  • Season/Event: “BlackFriday2024”, “Christmas”, “Summer”
  • Purpose: “Upsell”, “CrossSell”, “Retention”, “Acquisition”
  • Performance: “Testing”, “Champion”, “Challenger”
  • Product focus: “Electronics”, “Fashion”, “NewArrivals”
Benefits of tagging:
  • Performance analysis: View aggregate performance across tagged campaigns
  • Seasonal management: Easily activate/deactivate related campaigns
  • A/B testing: Group test variations for comparison
  • Reporting: Generate reports for specific campaign categories
Campaign Notes Add internal notes for:
  • Strategy context: Why this campaign was created
  • Performance expectations: Target metrics and goals
  • Team communication: Designer/marketer collaboration notes
  • Optimization history: Changes made and results achieved
