Preguntas frecuentes
How do I connect my DoorDash or Uber Eats account to email marketing?
Most platforms don't have direct integrations with third-party delivery apps, so you'll typically use webhooks or a middle layer like Zapier. Alternatively, export customer data regularly from your delivery platform and import it into your email tool. For real-time automation, Sequenzy and similar platforms let you trigger emails when orders arrive via API webhooks. Talk to your platform's support team about the best setup for your specific delivery channels.
What email sequences should a ghost kitchen run?
Start with these core sequences: order confirmation (immediate), delivery tracking updates (if you handle delivery), post-delivery review request (4 hours later), loyalty milestone celebratory emails (when they reach rewards tiers), and win-back campaigns (30 days of inactivity). Add promotional sequences around new menu items or limited-time offers. Keep them short and action-focused because ghost kitchen customers are typically busy and order-focused.
How often should I email ghost kitchen customers?
Transactional emails (confirmations, tracking, reviews) don't count toward frequency limits. For promotional emails, start with twice a week and measure open rates and unsubscribes. Many successful ghost kitchens send promotional offers 1-2 times per week, which keeps customers engaged without burning out their list. Always include a clear unsubscribe option and respect preferences.
Can I automate customer feedback collection?
Yes. Most platforms support automated surveys and review request emails. Send the first review request 4-6 hours after delivery (when they've had time to eat). Use simple one-click rating links that don't require typing long reviews. Track which customers give feedback and reward them with points or discounts. This drives higher review volume and improves your delivery platform rankings.
How do I segment customers for targeted campaigns?
Segment by order frequency (first-time vs. repeat customers), order value (high spenders vs. budget customers), menu preferences (vegetarian, spicy, quick meals), and last order date (inactive customers). Create a segment for your top 20% of customers and send them exclusive early-access to new menu items or VIP discounts. Use these segments to run experiments and find which messaging resonates with each group.
Should I use email or SMS for promotions?
Use both strategically. Email works well for detailed announcements, menu showcases, and loyalty program updates. SMS works better for urgent, time-sensitive offers (flash sales, happy hour promos) because it has higher open rates. Send email first to educate, then follow with SMS for the conversion push. Track which channel drives more orders and adjust your mix accordingly.
