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:
Miele wanted to provide customer experiences that matched the premium feel of its products. However, it was held back by several key challenges:
Fairphone has successfully impacted every stage of electronics production — from initial design and manufacturing to the complete product lifecycle — creating a business model that prioritizes ethics and sustainability above all else.
As Fairphone continued to expand its reach and impact, the company sought to enhance several aspects of their marketing and data management capabilities to support their growth potential:
Streamlining data architecture: Fairphone wanted to establish a more unified approach to customer data management, creating a single source of truth that would provide a more comprehensive view of their customers’ journeys and behaviors. This would enable them to develop more cohesive marketing strategies.
Enhanced customer tracking capabilities: The company aimed to improve their ability to track customer activities and visitor behaviors across their digital touchpoints. Better tracking would help them understand customer preferences more deeply, optimize user experiences, and identify new opportunities for engagement and conversion.
Scaling marketing operations: With ambitious goals to increase revenue and customer lifetime value, Fairphone needed to enhance its marketing capabilities beyond their current technology stack. The company sought more sophisticated tools to support an intelligent, data-driven marketing approach for their next phase of growth.
Fairphone needed to differentiate itself in a crowded market while staying true to its sustainability mission, requiring more targeted and personalized communication strategies.
With a catalog of over 4,000 products, Regatta understands that no two shoppers are alike — and that personalization is key to helping customers find the products they’re looking for as they shop their site.
But to create individualized shopping experiences at the speed and scale required, Regatta needed a solution that brought all of its touchpoints in sync. The brand needed technology that could:
Bensons for Beds needed a tool that would allow them to capture data for customers who had both been in their stores or on their website at various different points of their buying journey. To get there, they had to overcome key roadblocks:
Fragmented tech stack = inefficiencies across teams. Marketers, merchandisers, and developers had to work across disconnected tools, hindering specialization and scalability.
As Desigual’s business grew on a global scale and online channels became a top priority, the brand recognized the need for a more unified approach to its marketing efforts.
With over 100 markets and a goal to send several communications to each customer per week, the team faced growing demands for personalization, scale, and speed — but needed to do so without growing the size of its three-person marketing team.
To achieve these goals, Desigual needed to:
The company was looking for a solution that could unify its data, orchestrate omnichannel experiences, and give its internal team full control over execution — all without adding any operational burdens.
Ana Luisa launched a monthly subscription program: AL Luxe. For $39.99 per month — which becomes spendable store credit — AL Luxe members enjoy perks like members-only sales, exclusive discounts, and priority customer support. Credits roll over every month, building even more value over time.
But with the launch of this program came a critical challenge: ensuring ongoing engagement and redemption among these high-value members. Ana Luisa needed a way to consistently remind members of their available store credit, encourage purchases, and ensure that Luxe benefits remained top of mind — all without creating disjointed customer experiences.
SCONTO faced a challenge in turning its stunning furniture photography into a more effective sales tool. Here’s what the company needed to address:
Sofology recognizes that a sofa is one of the biggest investments that people make. Making a purchase is often a lengthy process that blends in-store visits, online browsing, and careful deliberation.
To best serve its audience and help them choose the right product, the brand wanted to build a welcome email campaign that embraced the unique, multi-step shopping journeys of their customers.
Leveraging Bloomreach’s AI-powered personalization and customer journey orchestration tools, Sofology set out to craft a welcome email campaign designed to perfectly align with each customer’s individual shopping experience.
With a previous marketing vendor, The AA faced significant challenges in achieving its ambitious campaign goals related to new customer acquisition.
Running campaigns to acquire new customers for its award-winning breakdown service, The AA team focused on a combination of prospecting, winning back former customers, and cross-selling to existing product holders. However, its existing marketing tools presented limitations, including slow data processing times, lengthy campaign execution, and an inability to easily test and optimize multi-channel strategies.
The team needed much better speed-to-market time and needed the ability to test the omnichannel impact of campaigns on the customers being acquired.
As COVID-19 derailed the travel plans of people across the world in 2020 and parts of 2021, The Thinking Traveller needed to adapt its communications strategy to enable more varied and engaging content to retain customers.
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.
The rising costs of paid advertising are a serious issue in today’s market. And what many companies have realized is that third-party cookie limitations play a part in that. Not only do ad networks (e.g. Facebook Ads) get less data to use for optimization, the number of conversions in the reporting user interface has also taken a big hit.
That means Facebook Ads might be more effective than you think based on the data you’re seeing. Which means that if you pull the budget and put it in a different channel, your numbers might get even worse.
Talk about confusion and uncertainty.
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.
The online beauty store is committed to offering omnichannel communications to their audience fueled by a data-driven platform, which is why they consistently rely on Bloomreach Engagement to personalize their customer experiences.
Understanding shoppers on an individual level and using relevant data to personalize customer experiences was paramount for Wojas. But the amount of internet users who use an ad blocking tool made these goals difficult to achieve.
In addition to hiding ads, ad blockers disable known tracking scripts like Google Analytics or Facebook Pixel and obscure customer behavior on site. This can lead to these pixels not firing appropriate events, like add-to-cart or purchase events — key touchpoints that campaigns need to function correctly.
Level Nine Sports began as an ecommerce company first before opening its brick-and-mortar stores in Utah. With its in-person shoppers, it could easily direct them to the products they wanted or needed and showcase top sellers, new products, or sale items.
But how could it do that effectively online? Level Nine Sports’ challenge became offering an equally great customer experience online as it could to shoppers who were walking into a physical store. This included connecting shoppers with products they desired and with inventory that the company wanted to move.
4Home set a goal for itself of furthering its brand reach and expanding business into new markets. Accomplishing this goal involved improving its performance with Facebook Ads.
There is currently a lot of noise surrounding Facebook Ads in the market. Many businesses are seeing a significant reduction in results from Facebook Ads campaigns, and reoptimizing those campaigns is slowly becoming a market problem because of changes to third-party cookies and third-party tracking across the globe.
4Home wanted to ensure that it was using its social media advertising budget on Facebook efficiently and effectively. Rather than ruling out Facebook as a performance channel entirely, it looked to Bloomreach for help.
With nine brands and individual websites, N Brown is one of the most diverse retailers in the United Kingdom.
As it is for every online retailer, displaying relevant search results and category information is essential for N Brown. With a previous search provider, the N Brown online merchandising team was forced to publish a lot of rules to ensure its algorithm was as tailored as possible to those using it.
N Brown was looking for a solution that could help it be proactive rather than reactive in regards to market trends and help build the relationship between marketers and merchandisers internally. Enter Bloomreach Discovery.
