E-Commerce Brand got 30% increase in Revenue

Client Overview:

Industry: E-commerce (Beauty and Skincare)
Target Audience: Women aged 25-45, focused on premium and sustainable skincare.
Objective: Increase sales through targeted email campaigns, boost engagement with personalized content, and improve customer retention.

Challenges Faced:

Low Open and Click-Through Rates:
The brand’s open rate was at 12%, well below the e-commerce average of 20-25%.
Click-through rates hovered at 1.5%, impacting overall revenue generation.
Irregular Campaign Management:
Emails were sent sporadically, with no cohesive strategy or scheduling.
Lack of Segmentation and Personalization:
All customers received the same emails, leading to irrelevant offers and disengagement.
Dormant Customers:
Over 30% of the email list hadn’t engaged in over six months.

InboxSparrow’s Strategy:

1. Initial Audit and Insights

✔ Conducted a comprehensive audit of the client’s email list, campaign history, and audience demographics.
✔ Identified key customer segments:
✔ Repeat buyers (VIPs).
✔ One-time purchasers.
✔ Inactive/dormant users.

2. Campaign Calendar Development

✔ Created a 3-month content and campaign calendar:
✔ Weekly newsletters featuring new arrivals and skincare tips.
✔ Seasonal campaigns (e.g., Summer Glow Skincare Essentials).
✔ Monthly exclusive offers for VIP customers.

3. Segmentation and Personalization

✔ Designed mobile-first templates with a clean, modern aesthetic.
✔ Incorporated engaging visuals, consistent branding, and clear typography.
✔ Personalized content blocks using dynamic elements (e.g., "Hello [First Name], Check Out Our New Arrivals!").

4. Campaign Scheduling and A/B Testing

✔ Developed a 3-month campaign calendar aligned with product launches, seasonal sales, and customer behavior trends.
✔ A/B tested various elements:
Subject Lines: Tested urgency (e.g., “Flash Sale: Ends Tonight”) vs. curiosity (e.g., “You’ll Love These New Styles”).
CTA Texts: Compared direct CTAs (e.g., “Buy Now”) with softer ones (e.g., “Explore the Collection”).
Link Placements: Experimented with link positions, button colors, and hover effects.

5. Data-Driven Adjustments

✔ Analyzed real-time performance data to refine the strategies.
✔ Iterated on the best-performing elements for future campaigns.
