Content campaigns are used to modify/add content, usually in already existing locations of your website.
Specific to this type of campaigns is that they can have multiple steps, like in a chained set of conditions/actions. They are called groups and consist in:
- a set of display conditions;
- at least 1Â content/variation for a group, to be displayed
- limits of number of displays per user session;
Content Campaigns with multiple locations
By default content campaigns work with a single location (default is appending content to document body).
When adding a selector the campaign with run by searching for the element and embedding the content into it.
For multiple locations you have CSS selectors for each content piece.
Content Embedding options:
You have advanced options for the selector your provide. You can:
- replace entire content
- prepend (insert as first child), useful for lists
- append (insert as last child)
- after (insert after the element)
- before (insert before the element)
These options give you lots of flexibility for web personalization.
Content Campaign ideas and examples:
