View on GitHubWelcome to Jarvisβs guide to getting started with Marketing through Journey.
π‘ Why Journeys?
Customer centricity. Targeted communication. Contextual experiences. Personalized engagement.
While these terms are commonly used in marketing, they all point to one central idea:
Designing your engagement strategy around each userβs behavior and preferences.
Journeys is Jarvisβs answer to this:
A flexible, logic-based tool to unify all your communication channels and build consistent, contextual user experiences.
π§ What is a Journey?
βA Journey is a wholesome experience that guides each user through various stages of their lifecycle by engaging them at the right moment, with the most relevant context, via their preferred channel.β
π§ How Journeys Work
When users interact with your app, website, or offline platforms, they move toward certain goals like:
- Placing an order
- Subscribing to a service
- Booking a flight
- Purchasing gadgets
- Investing in a portfolio
β¦and more.
But each user is unique β based on preferences, location, device, habits β and experiences your brand differently.
Journeys help you build consistent, personalized brand interactions across platforms.
π§© Logic of Journeys
Each Journey is built on:
βIf-this-happens-then-do-thatβ logic
Which allows you to:
- Engage users at the right time
- Space out communications naturally (avoid spam)
- Personalize based on behavior, location, and real-time context
