Joe(NEW CUSTOMER)
Sally(EXISTING CUSTOMER)

a purchase, Joe completes a form to

purchasing the product.
Upon completing the
transaction, he receives
an order confirmation
email, which includes an
offer for free shipping on
his next purchase.
Sally sees an ad in a
magazine with a QR code.
She scans it and is invited
to download the brand’s
new mobile app.
Sally visits the store and makes a
purchase. A few days later, she
receives an email inviting her to
post a product review, with links to
share her feedback via social media.
Upon downloading the app, Sally is
prompted to register. At that point,
the brand recognizes she’s an
existing customer, matching this new

A week later, Sally checks in at her
local coffee shop using Facebook
places. She receives a push
notification via the app, informing
