Challenge

MandM was looking for a marketing solution that could help the brand put its customers at the center of its marketing strategy. 

MandM recognized how crucial real-time data was to understand its customers and build relevant touchpoints for their shopping journeys, but disconnected channels and siloed data was a real challenge. A platform that could plug customer data directly into every marketing campaign and weave channels together for a seamless, connected customer experience was the ultimate goal.

Solution

Initially, MandM turned to Bloomreach for its powerful email marketing capabilities, but the brand quickly recognized its potential to help solve MandM’s comprehensive needs. Leveraging Bloomreach’s intelligent personalization platform, Loomi AI, and the guidance provided by Bloomreach Academy courses, MandM could reap the full rewards of our marketing automation solutions quickly and set up the seamless campaigns it envisioned.

“When we signed up with Bloomreach, Bloomreach Academy was a great resource,” said Jackie Barnett, Head of CRM at MandM. “As a new client, it was a very useful way to explore the platform and it helped us fully understand what Bloomreach could accomplish.”

With the ability to connect MandM’s entire marketing efforts, provide a single customer view of each customer, and analyze all its customer data to fuel targeted campaigns across every channel, Loomi AI offered the data-driven personalization that MandM was searching for. 

Now, Loomi AI is more than just MandM’s email marketing platform. Our expansive solution is a key component in the company’s overall strategy — MandM utilizes Loomi AI to craft personalized SMS campaigns, execute web push notifications, and personalize its on-site experience, in addition to the real-time reporting capabilities that drive its segmentation and recommendation efforts.

In particular, MandM’s on-site personalization has been a major initiative for the brand. With millions of active site visitors, building incremental gains with personalized touchpoints could produce game-changing results, which is why optimizing every step of the on-site journey quickly became a priority as MandM expanded its use of Loomi AI’s offerings.

Results

With a holistic understanding of every customer, limitless web personalization tools, and advanced analytics and reporting, MandM used Loomi AI to tailor important touchpoints and create agile, flexible, and personalized on-site experiences.

This has yielded dramatic improvements in key engagement and conversion metrics. By tailoring banners and other on-site elements based on real-time behavioral data, MandM has seen:

  • +83.7% uplift in click rate on personalized on-site banners 
  • +75% increase in cart updates driven by dynamic content 
  • +66% uplift in purchase conversion when banners reflect individual behavior

MandM also employed personalized site experiences that catered customer journeys based on previous interactions they had with the brand. Personalized pop-ups showcasing a customer’s most-viewed brand drove a 2.6% increase in revenue per visit, and personalized filter recommendation buttons resulted in a 5% increase in conversion rates.

As MandM continues to personalize every step of its customer journey, Bloomreach continues to be at the center of the company’s strategy.

“These personalization tests have helped us optimize our on-site experience and build more consistent and seamless journeys,” said Barnett. “With all our marketing efforts fueled by the same real-time data and working with relevant audiences, we can keep refining and personalizing customer interactions, which is exactly what we want our campaigns to be doing.”
