Find Customers with Short-trip, not yet returned in a cruiseline

🔹 1. Segment: "Short-trip, not yet returned"

Goal: Identify customers who took a short cruise and haven’t booked another trip in 4 months.

a. Define Segment in RT-CDP or AEP Segmentation Service

  • Rules:
    • Trip Type = "Short Cruise"
    • Booking Date = >4 months ago
    • No subsequent booking in the last 4 months

b. Tools:

  • Adobe Experience Platform (AEP) → Use audience segmentation UI or Query Service.

🔹 2. Trigger: 4 Months After Initial Short Cruise

Goal: Trigger a journey 4 months post-trip.

a. Use Journey Optimizer (AJO)

  • Create a scheduled audience OR
  • Use an event-based trigger from RT-CDP if profile enrichment includes trip history.

b. Conditions:

  • Evaluate time since last_short_cruise_date = 120 days
  • No new_booking exists

🔹 3. Action: Email + In-App Message

a. Design Touchpoints in AJO

  • Email:

    • Content: “Exclusive 7-Day Escape Just for You”
    • Personalize with name, past cruise, dynamic offers
  • In-App Message:

    • Trigger when user opens app
    • Message: Carousel or popup with the same offer

b. Assets Required:

  • Responsive email template
  • Mobile in-app messaging creative (banner, popup, or modal)
  • Dynamic content support (e.g., next best offer)

🔹 4. Follow-up: Show Tailored Landing Page

a. Personalized Landing Page

  • Built in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) or another CMS
  • Use URL parameters or Experience Fragment personalization for:
    • Greeting by name
    • Recommended cruise
    • Countdown or time-sensitive CTA

b. Link Email/In-App → Landing Page

  • Include tracking parameters (e.g., utm_campaign=7dayescape)

🔹 5. Track Conversion in Customer Journey Analytics (CJA)

a. Set Up Conversion Events

  • Define "conversion" (e.g., booking confirmation page view or transaction success)
  • Use Adobe Analytics → send events to CJA

b. Create Workspace in CJA

  • Pathing report from email open → click → landing → booking
  • Attribution model: Identify what drove the conversion
  • Segment overlap: See which segments respond best
