Seasonal promotions are a great way to boost sales and engagement for your business during special occasions, such as Christmas. By creating specific promotions and marketing campaigns tailored to these holidays, you can catch the attention of your customers and encourage them to make a purchase.

The Synerise Documents feature facilitates distributing seasonal promotions in your mobile application thanks to the ability of grouping them into specific categories. For example, you can create multiple documents that contain Christmas promotions and assign them to a single Seasonal group, then create a screen view campaign which will display all documents assigned to the Seasonal group. You can schedule this screen view campaign to be displayed in the specific time of year.

In this use case, we’ll show you how to create two documents with Christmas promotions and adding them to the Seasonal group. This group will be used while creating a screen view campaign, presented for your all users of the mobile application.

Prerequisites

Process

In this use case, you will go through the following steps:

Create two documents with basic Christmas promotion targeted to all application users, create a Seasonal group and add these two documents to this group.
Create a screen view that will display the documents from the Seasonal group to all mobile application users.

Create a document

As the first part of the process, you will create two documents with the promotions you created in Synerise. You will also create a Seasonal group and assign these two documents to this group.

Go to Data Management > Documents > Add document.
Enter the name of your document.
In the Audience section, choose to whom the document will be displayed. Select Everyone.
In the Configuration section:
1. In the Slug field, enter the slug of the document, we recommend using the following name convention: this-is-slug-name.
2. In the Priority field, use a number to define the document priority. The order of documents is defined by the priority value (1 is the highest, 100 is the lowest).
3. From the Group dropdown list, click Add group.
4. On the pop-up, in the Group name field, enter Seasonal. Result: The group is added and selected.
5. From the Type dropdown list, select a document type. Document type defines how the document is validated by your mobile application. To create a new type, from the dropdown list, click Add type.
  Note: Full explanation of the type is available here.
6. In the Body field, add the content of the promotion in the JSON format. Below you will find an easy examples of the document body that contains the promotion created in Synerise. You can add more elements to your JSON code like for example buttons, colors, tags, and so on.
```
{
  "content-type": "promotion",
  "background-color": "#123321",
  "title": "Christmas Promotion",
  "promotion": "{% promotion fields=uuid,name,discountType,discountValue,code,params,tags,type,price,images,description,expireAt %} 3a3750b0-c00b-4c57-9c5f-d55652b417a0 {% endpromotion %}"
}
    
```

Document configuration
Create another document with the Christmas promotion in the same way as described previously. Change the visual project and JSON code for this document. Remember to add this promotion to the Seasonal group. Additionally, you can change the schedule for this second promotion, based on your business needs.

Note: If you want to add the specific document to more than one group, duplicate it and then assign it to another group.

Create a screen view

Create a screen view campaign for the group of documents created in the previous part of the process.
