Marketing
From the Manager Menu click the Marketing button. This is your own in-house marketing tool. This will open the Marketing screen, which provides various options for refining your search criteria.
If you click the Output (F1) button without selecting any of the search fields, you will be presented with a list of everyone who has ever ordered.
To create a specific list of customers, alter the parameters to refine your search by ticking the small boxes to the left.
After ticking the boxes new fields will appear to help you refine your search. They are explained below.
Have Ordered between (inclusive) and Have Not Ordered between (exclusive)
The option SMS output is a chargeable add-on.
This function allows you to find out which customers have or have not ordered within a certain period.
For example, if you wish to see a list of customers who have purchased from you between 1st Jan - 16th Jan 2017 you would tick the box ‘Have Ordered between (inclusive)’ and enter the relevant dates.
If you wish to see a list of customers that have not made a purchase between 7th Nov - 7th Dec 2016, tick the box beside ‘Have Not Ordered between (inclusive)’ and enter the dates.
This helps you find lapsed/regular customers and target them with the right marketing campaign.
Average Customer Spend and Number of Orders
You can further narrow your search by specifying for customers who spent an average amount that was greater than > or less than < an amount of your choice, as shown below.
You can also set it so that it shows customers by the number of orders they have placed. This allows you to see customers who have ordered greater than >, less than <, greater than or equal to >=, less than or equal to <=, or equal to = a number of your choice.

If you tick the box and enter the title you wish to use all customers will be shown with the same name or title you have just entered. Now, when you click Output (F1) the customer names have been altered to the word/name/title you just designated. This can be very useful when making address labels.
