The Challenge

The Challenge
TFG was aware of recent advancements in AI technology that would open up new ways to connect with customers. However, since conversational AI is still a new technology, TFG had concerns:
Tamaris had successfully launched a digital sales strategy, but increasing purchase frequency among existing customers remained a key challenge. Without a unified view of customer behavior across channels and touchpoints, the brand couldn’t identify why customers disengaged or how to bring them back.
Fragmented customer data across disconnected systems = no clear picture of purchase patterns or engagement. Customer information lived in separate platforms: ecommerce, retail point-of-sale, email marketing, and customer service systems. This siloed architecture made it impossible to understand a customer’s complete journey or identify signals that indicated re-engagement or cross-sell opportunities.
Low repeat purchase frequency = limited customer lifetime value despite strong acquisition. While Tamaris successfully attracted new customers through digital channels, driving those customers back for a second and third purchase proved difficult. Without visibility into post-purchase behavior or the ability to segment based on engagement patterns, marketing teams sent generic campaigns that struggled to drive repeat purchases.
No framework for proactive reengagement = reactive marketing that missed critical intervention moments. The brand couldn’t easily identify when customers were at risk of disengaging or what specific actions would reengage them. By the time marketing teams recognized a customer had lapsed, it was often too late to win them back cost-effectively.
Complex multi-country rollout requirements = need for scalable solution across 13 markets. Tamaris operates across multiple European countries, each with different customer preferences, languages, and regulatory requirements. Any solution needed to work consistently across all markets while allowing for local customization — a challenge that existing fragmented systems couldn’t support.
As Hobbycraft doubled down its approach to product discovery, the well-loved UK brand recognized that shifting shopper behavior was creating both a challenge and an opportunity for its digital merchandising strategy.
With long-tail, intent-rich queries up 10%, Hobbycraft saw an opportunity to better serve these high-intent shoppers while continuing to support the casual browsers who make up the majority of the company’s web traffic.
But meeting these evolving expectations also exposed several operational challenges:
As the team at DFS knows full well, the nature of the ecommerce furniture business differs greatly to many other categories. Most customers have a significant average order size and make purchases far less frequently than say, at online grocery stores or online fashion retailers. After all, just how often do you need a new couch or bedroom set for your home?
Once customers have purchased their furniture, it isn’t a wise business decision to keep emailing them about buying another piece of that same furniture. Because if the quality of the original product is good, said customers won’t need another one for quite a while.
The lengthy sales cycle and time in between reactivation means that DFS must be clever about email follow ups after purchases, customer relationship management, and about how it contacts customers via email in general. Being able to combine collected data from both in-store and online experiences helps, but what is the most effective way of using that data to provide limitless personalized experiences to customers?
Yves Rocher’s challenge was not a foreign one to many ecommerce companies — it wanted to provide the most personalized product recommendations it could to both returning customers and first-time visitors with no prior history of interaction with the website or brand.
Due to the importance of personalization in B2C marketing today, Yves Rocher wanted to go beyond generic recommendations and ensure that each product recommendations was relevant to each individual customer. To do so, the company needed to first find the right algorithm and tech stack to help it drive this initiative.
The River Island marketing team was looking for a way to fine tune its email program. Specifically, the team wanted to improve domain reputation and build trust in the brand by offering a good customer communication experience. The team wanted to accomplish these goals while not losing revenue from email.
Sending too many emails to inactive customers can annoy them and lead to high unsubscribe rates — which can negatively impact your email deliverability. At the same time, sending too few emails to loyal customers could lead to a drop in revenue. The team needed to find that sweet spot of sending the right amount of emails to the right customer.
Whisker’s challenge was a familiar one for many digital commerce companies: creating a consistent and impressionable marketing message that guides users all the way through the customer journey, from awareness to satisfied purchase.
To craft a personalized experience for its customers, Whisker needed to connect its marketing channels and access all its user behavior in one place — a single customer view — which its previous marketing solution didn’t allow for. This left Whisker’s data siloed and its marketing team unable to craft a persistent message through each customer’s journey.
With so many different customers and such a large variety of products, Notino recognized the importance of personalizing their marketing efforts. Weaving together multiple touchpoints with the insights gained from each customer’s interaction was a top priority for the company, and bringing all their valuable data together in one place was essential for their goals.
