Content Strip Promotions

You can use content strips to highlight specific content items relevant to your learners, and target these promotions to specific groups of learners using audiences. There is no limit to the number of promotions you can create. You can configure to have up to five content strips display on the homepage. Learners see the most-recently created (or edited) strips they are entitled to view, based on their audience membership. Promotions can be targeted to all learners or to specific audiences.

To encourage learners to view the content within your promotion and engage with the learning, you have the option to send email notifications to learners and audiences you targeted. You can customize the email and send it upon launch of the promotion. You can then edit the email and resend it any time throughout the duration of the promotion. Measure your promotion adoption and success of your email campaign by viewing the Content Promotion Summary report.

Example content strip promotion

Example: You want to create a strip for your management team to call attention to various courses, channels, and books available to them.



Assumptions for this example:
1. Your learners are already set up as users within Percipio.
2. Learners are already in an audience called Management Team.
3. The Management Team audience is associated with the license pool that contains the content you want to showcase.

For procedures to set up new users, see Create a New User or Bulk Import New Users. For procedures to set up an audience, see Create a New Audience.

Create the strip promotion. Select the content items, from 3 up to 15 items, and the Management Team audience. Choose the start date and an end date to avoid maintenance in the future. Place the items in the order they should display to learners.

To create a content strip for your management team

Once you've ensured your users are set up in Percipio and in an audience that is associated to the content you want to promote:

From the left navigation bar, select Learning > Content Promotions. The Content Promotions page displays with the CONTENT STRIPS tab open by default.
1. Click Create Promotion.
2. Click Content strip promoting channels or content items from the library. The New Promotion - Library Content Strip page displays.



3. In the Content strip promotion title field, enter Management team promotion. This is the title that displays to the learner as the strip header.



4. In the Language drop-down, select English. This only affects the language of content you can add to the strip.
5. Select the Start date as today's date (in this example, we are using March 9, 2020 as today's date).
6. Leave the End date blank. This ensures the content strip promotion runs continuously.
7. In the Strip content section, click Add content.



8. In the search bar, enter Empowering employees.
   



9. In the search results list, locate the channel and click . Optionally, you can filter the results using the Filters on the left hand side. Because you selected English as your language in step 3 above, only English content displays here.
   
10. Repeat the last two steps, adding the following content:
• a course, Planning Meetings Fit for Purpose
• a book, Leading Agile Teams
• an audiobook, Extreme Dreams Depend on Teams
• an audio summary, Judgment: How Winning Leaders Make Great Calls, and
• a video, Group Brainstorming.
11. Click Add to promotion. The New Promotion - Library Content Strip page displays again.



12. Click Add audiences.



13. In the search bar, enter Management Team.
14. In the search results list, locate the audience and click .



15. Click Done.
16. Click Create Promotion.



Because you entered today as the Start date, the strip immediately displays to your selected audience, on Percipio for the Web and the Percipio mobile app:
