Challenge
A leading eco-conscious apparel brand, faced a
unique challenge in balancing their commitment to
sustainability with the need to drive incremental
growth. Relying on frequent catalog mailings (8-10
times per year), they sought a solution to capitalize
on impulse buys from their target audience during
the gaps between catalogs. Their goals were
two-fold:
- Increase Repeat Purchases: Encourage existing customers to buy again sooner by reigniting interest and highlighting new products or offers.
- Capture Highly Qualified Prospects: Convert first-time buyers who had shown interest and intent (through website visits, cart abandonment, etc.) into loyal customers.
Solution
Our team recommended Path2Ignite, a Performance Driven Direct Mail (PDDM)
platform ideal for daily engagement with high-intent shoppers. We leveraged
the brand’s robust website traffic and return visitor data to segment their
housefile into Active and Lapsed buyer audiences. Additionally, we tapped into
our unique co-op dataset and website tag capabilities to identify and model
super-recent, highly qualified prospects.
Custom audiences were built within Path2Ignite, combining first-party website
data with our proprietary co-op insights. Daily fulfillment of targeted postcard
campaigns were executed through the client’s printer partner, ensuring
next-day delivery for optimal impact.
