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:
O2 Slovakia wanted to optimize their Facebook and Google ad audiences to make sure their digital campaigns were reaching the right users with the right message. To achieve this, they built lookalike audiences within Facebook and Google Ads to target potential customers with acquisition campaigns.
But the ability to build sophisticated audiences and segment potential customers based on relevant data was limited in Facebook and Google’s audience builders. The company wasn’t achieving the results they aimed for, and turned to Bloomreach Engagement to bolster their audience-building efforts.
After changing leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic, Bensons for Beds shifted focus to invest more in digital to match its in-store offers. The company wanted to learn how to use its digital propositions to not only just support in-person shopping, but also use its collected customer data to construct personalized journeys for customers that would build brand loyalty.
Since then, Bensons for Beds has begun to redefine the role that digital plays in an omnichannel business by making its website the focal point of the sales process. Bensons is using its website as more than just a referral engine for brick-and-mortar locations, but also as a hub where customers can learn more about products and transact.
Bensons for Beds is redefining the role of digital in its business and is using a customer data platform — specifically Bloomreach Engagement — to do so.
Unisport was using email marketing and communications to connect with customers but was missing the ability to segment its audience of customers and then take meaningful action with personalized marketing communications to those segments.
Not being able to separate subscribers based on their activity level with the brand — active, passive, dormant, etc. — meant that Unisport had to bring in customer data from a different platform, making email marketing a largely manual process.
Unisport needed to consolidate its customer data into a single solution that would allow it to segment its customer base and connect with customers to offer a limitless ecommerce experience.
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.

However, Crafter’s Companion found that it was facing some challenges with its previous solution when trying to connect with its audience:
Not enough flexibility. With frequently updated content, time-sensitive offers, and new products with very short promotional windows, Crafter’s Companion needed a flexible setup that could handle rapid adjustments without disrupting the email workflow.
