Challenge

Oliver Bonas was looking to obtain a “single customer view” (SCV). Essentially, it wanted an extensive database of customer profiles, complete with purchase history, site activity, and product recommendations.

To hit its targeted goals, Oliver Bonas needed a database that was scalable, flexible, and updatable in real time in order to create more personalized communications with customers and improve key metrics.

Solution

Oliver Bonas turned to Bloomreach Engagement, which is hosted on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP), for its new marketing strategy, which sought to accommodate a variety of customer segments and incorporate brand new designs and email flows for different channels and their sign-up locations.

These new emails were personalized to each customer segment, and also featured opt-in segments, reminders, and abandoned-cart notices. These offerings allowed Oliver Bonas to target and retarget its designated audiences.

Overall, the unified data, collected through Bloomreach’s all-inclusive platform, delivered connected customer experiences with a single, automated solution. It also allowed customers to manage their correspondence with the company through an email preference center.

We have been incredibly impressed with the support received and speed at which we have seen significant results. We are very excited about the numerous projects we have in the pipeline to develop our functionalities and customer experience further.
