Solution
Email marketing for Italian second-hand eCommerce
The primary product of the Italian Vintage Wholesale company, which operates on the B2B market, is vintage and brand clothing. The company’s traffic sources are diverse and include email marketing. Our company has received an offer to enhance automated emails and also work on promotional emails. The primary objective is to increase revenue and sales volume through automation such as welcome flow, abandoned carts, etc.
Email marketing – first view
First, we determined what the client currently possesses. The used email platform is Omnisend. It integrates well with Shopify, so it’s acceptable for us.
There were some recurring automated flows, such as welcome, abandoned cart, and promotional emails sent weekly, in addition to boosters. In addition, we’ve observed that current processes are very basic, with no repeated emails or other special features. There were some rudimentary audience segmentations, so we recommended working on them to make emails more personalized and boost the key email marketing KPIs (deliverability, open rate, click rate, conversion rate, etc.).
Work plan for Email marketing
- Prepare a new template for emails.
- Optimize and improve current automated flows.
- Prepare additional flows.
- Optimize the welcome popup on the website.
- Work on audience segmentation.
- Prepare weekly promo emails.
- Ongoing optimization and reporting during the month.
Automated email flows optimization
First, the Welcome flow was evaluated. This is the flow that functions in conjunction with the website’s pop-up, in which we offer 15% OFF instead of a subscription. The Popup was too large and did not suit the screen, so we reduced its size so that users no longer need to scroll to view the entire image.
The next stage is optimizing the flow. There was only one email containing the discount after the user completed the form. Therefore, we added multiple communications with durations of 3 and 4 days. Therefore, if the user opens the first email, he exits the flow; if not, he receives a reminder in three days. Thus, we received additional transactions with the second and third email and increased the Welcome flow’s overall revenue:
Stat for several months in dynamic:
We did the same for the abandoned cart sequence, redesigning emails and adding new steps. There were only two emails with reminders about abandoned carts, so we added one more with a 15% discount 24 hours after the second. This email generates more transactions and revenue than the first and second combined.
We then added one more automated flow, order follow-up. The objective of this automated process is to increase consumer repeat purchases. Therefore, we send one email immediately after the purchase and another seven days later. Consequently, we receive more transactions with both emails. Therefore, consumers purchase more, even if they have just made a purchase.
Promotional emails
The client provided a plan for promotional emails, so we designed emails and worked with various audiences to send them. According to the plan, there are three email reminders and one email with a discount.
As anticipated, promotional emails containing a discount generated significantly more sales and revenue than reminder emails.
