Understanding the “Loyalty” Goal in Smart Campaigns

Lower-funnel DSP campaigns to help you drive repeat purchases

Updated today

Choosing Loyalty as your advertising goal allows you to re-engage existing customers—people who have already purchased from you. These campaigns are optimized for maximizing customer lifetime value by either encouraging repeat purchases or introducing new products to your loyal base.

This goal is ideal for:

  • Driving repeat purchases

  • Running cross-sell campaigns

  • Strengthening brand loyalty


🛠 What Happens When You Select the Loyalty Goal?

When you choose the Loyalty goal, you’ll be able to select one or more Smart Campaign Strategies. Each strategy represents a unique campaign setup that includes a recommended budget, targeting configuration, and primary KPI.

You can:

  • Select one or multiple Loyalty strategies

  • Launch one or multiple campaigns per strategy

  • Customize campaign names, KPI targets, budgets, and dates

✅ Next Steps After Loyalty Goal Selection

  1. Choose your strategies

  2. Enter budgets, KPIs, and review defaults

  3. Save your selections to preview your generated line items

  4. Review and customize targeting, inventory, and creatives

  5. Submit your campaign with confidence 🎯


📌 Note: You must include at least one line item per campaign to proceed. You can’t delete all line items, but you may edit, duplicate, or remove individual ones to fine-tune your setup.


🎨 Creative Management During Campaign Creation

When you create a new campaign, Teikametrics automatically associates creatives (the actual display ads) with each line item based on the products you selected.

Here’s how it works:

  • Automatic Creative Matching:
    We identify and apply available creatives from your library of creative assets that correspond to the ASINs you selected during campaign setup. This ensures that the products you want to promote are featured in the ads shown to customers.

  • Preview & Edit:
    You can accept the recommended creatives or choose a different one from your creative library.

  • REC Creative Option:
    You can optionally generate a new Responsive E-Commerce (REC) creative for your campaign directly within the workflow. Once submitted, this creative becomes immediately available for use in your line items.

  • Creative Requirements:

    • At least one creative is required for every line item.

    • You can apply a single creative to all line items at once or customize per line item.

    • Creatives with a status of “Not Approved” will not appear in the list of eligible creatives during setup.
