welcome home

Pack your consumer dream email!

Take care of all the contacts who might be interested in your brand.

Who is not a customer yet. You have huge amounts of data also about them, their demographic characteristics, their preferences, their behaviors…it’s time to use all this information and do it well to reach them and try to bring them on board. Now more than ever, people at home have time to make new experiences. Explore all the data and figure out how to hit them on the first try. Maybe a welcome discount can convince even the most hesitant of the customers to finally buy the latest model of television he has so longed for in the past so he can enjoy subscribing to streaming TV service during this quarantine period.

Who’s been out of touch for some time. What happened to someone who used to be a loyal customer? Take the time to study them, see if in the past you may have underestimated any aspect of your relationship and see how to resume it. You may find that you’re promoting infant formula, with convenient same-day home delivery free of charge, to customers who told you they had children more than 3 years ago.

Who keeps buying but with low spending level. Try offering him a survey, for example, now maybe he has time to dedicate to you. Understand if he also relies on other brands or better know what you could do for him to increase his trust and value for you. Maybe he’s a recurring buyer on a single product or service. He simply hasn’t had any incentive to browse your ecommerce and find out there are plenty of other purchase options for him.

Who confirms himself a Top Spender. Don’t forget them, they appreciate all your sales channels but maybe they might miss your store. Don’t abandon him, keep him engaged with communications that give value to your offer and your relationship that must continue to grow even if physically distant.

How to create eye-catching emails especially now that many brands are using the email channel to talk to their customers? How to stand out? What not to forget?

Try putting yourself in your customers’ shoes.

Think about what you would appreciate from brands in these days when moving around freely has become difficult. You might want to read…
