How We Will Help You

Support

Our Support team will always be your key partner in managing any technical challenges you might experience. Response times and service will continue to be in accordance with our SLAs during peak season (check what business hours are applicable for you).

In case of downtime on single-tenant instances, your CSM will keep you informed. For multi-tenant instances, you can easily check our Bloomreach status page where you get real-time updates about the operational status and health of the platform. We'll also let your CSM know about any notifications that directly affect your account.

To help Support run smoothly, before reaching out, please:

Engineering

Our Engineering team will be upscaling platform capacity on instances according to the peak planning form shared by your CSM. If you have not shared this data with us, we will still monitor and upscale, only with less direct input from your team.

Deliverability

Learn about best practices on deliverability on our Holiday Preparedness live webinar on September 7th. The recording will be available here. You can also learn what is deliverability and how to improve it with our guide and videos.

Our deliverability specialists will be available to you for consultations during working hours over two weekends in this peak (November 18th-19th and 25th-26th). In case of urgent questions, please feel free to reach out to:

Stay up to date on the latest technical status of partner ESPs and subscribe to their notifications:

Client Services

If you need help from the Technical or Business Consultants (and you have an agreement in place or you need to discuss a new service agreement), please let your CSM or AM know by the end of October. All consultants will be focused mostly on helping customers prepare and execute for peak season but will be available to support BAU as well. Please give as much notice on tasks as you can and appreciate that responses will be slower than usual.
