sidehow-case-study

The Challenge
With a lean marketing team, an audience of diverse fandoms, and dozens of product drops every month, Sideshow needed a faster, more relevant way to launch campaigns.

  • Demanding campaign-building processes = slow speed to market.
  • Diverse, dedicated fandoms = complex segmentation needs.
  • Manual workflows = missed real-time opportunities.

TFG Boosts Online Conversion Rate by 35.2% With Bloomreach Clarity

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: 

  • What would it be perceived as assisting with? 
  • Would the solution just provide stock answers (that any algorithm could spit out)? 
  • Would it hallucinate and provide inaccurate results? 
  • Would it be a closed system?

Despite its strong offline success, Wolseley encountered significant challenges as it worked to transform its digital product discovery experience online. Operating across the UK and Ireland with a massive catalog of 500,000 products — including 300,000 available online — Wolseley struggled to deliver accurate, segment-specific search results for its varied professional audiences in plumbing, HVAC, building services, and infrastructure, which would help the brand cater to a new generation of buyers. 

Here’s what Wolseley was up against:

  • Heavy reliance on build-it-yourself search technology. Wolseley depended on a Solr-based system that required extensive rule-building to return relevant results. As the number of rules grew into the hundreds, maintaining accuracy became increasingly difficult, causing inconsistent search results and an ongoing cycle of manual fixes.
  • Limited ability to segment customers effectively. Because the search engine lacked industry awareness, it struggled to differentiate between the unique needs of plumbers, HVAC specialists, pipe-fitters, and other trades. This prevented Wolseley from tailoring results or ranking products by segment intent — a major barrier for a B2B business with specialized audiences.
  • Manual processes that drained merchandising resources. A small merchandising team was responsible for maintaining large volumes of rules, audits, and fixes. Too much time was spent troubleshooting search results instead of expanding the product catalog, growing online traffic, or delivering more personalized experiences.
  • Difficulty meeting rising customer expectations. As Wolseley’s new generation of customers increasingly expected fast, accurate, industry-specific search results, the company knew it needed to leave behind its rule-heavy legacy system and adopt a smarter, AI-powered product discovery platform.

Customer satisfaction and retention are key goals for Côte. Recognizing the need to know its customers on an individual level to achieve these goals, the company resolved to build a complete understanding of its audience and leverage these findings to fuel a customer-centric marketing strategy.

Evolving its website from a traditional restaurant user experience into a personalized journey for every customer was also a specific area of focus for the brand. Côte wanted to revamp its on-site flow, emotionally engaging its website visitors to inspire more engagement, drive more bookings, and foster brand loyalty.

For a holiday business like Haven, it is essential to understand customer needs and exactly what the customer wants when they begin their journey. Understanding and adapting to the different types of customer journeys is crucial for providing exceptional service and creating a path to purchase online at Haven.com.

Haven provides activities and entertainment for customers simply coming for the weekend or those who may be looking to purchase a holiday home. These are two very different customer intents that feature very different journeys to purchase.

In total, Haven is actively marketing holidays, caravans, food/beverage, activities, and also supports customer journeys for:

  • Holidaymakers, looking for a weekend getaway by the coast
  • Owners, customers who own a Caravan at a Haven Holiday Park
  • Caravan prospects, customers who are interested in caravan ownership

Haven needed a holistic view of customers to fully understand what they wanted from the brand. This would allow Haven to serve customers the information they needed in real time to push them towards either a weekend getaway or a new holiday home.

With customer lifetime value a focal point in its business strategy, Medichecks wanted to reconnect with customers who hadn’t purchased in over a year — a segment with varied channel preferences and purchase journeys, making it harder to effectively reengage them through retention-focused email campaigns alone. 

The brand needed a smarter, more integrated way to reengage lapsed customers and deliver a personalized, omnichannel experience that felt relevant, consistent, and easy to manage — without adding manual workload for the team.

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:

  • Slow response to viral trends. When viral moments (like TikTok videos) drove spikes in searches, the team had to react manually to surface the right products, which was a slow, labor-intensive process that risked missing the moment entirely.
  • Underperforming queries across the catalog. Searches like “pottery painting kits” and “children’s craft sets” weren’t always connecting shoppers with the right products, despite clear purchase intent. As queries became longer or more specific, surfacing the most relevant items became more complex. With a catalog of thousands of SKUs, identifying and fixing those gaps one by one simply wasn’t scalable.
  • Changing search behavior outpacing keyword search. Hobbycraft saw that shoppers were searching in longer, more conversational ways. Meeting that shift in customer behavior required a search experience capable of interpreting deeper customer intent.

Arena recognized that more efficient, targeted marketing efforts were a real opportunity for business growth, but faced significant challenges with its previous marketing platform. 

  • Wasted budget on unknown audiences — campaigns targeted broad segments, burning budget on users unlikely to convert.
  • Out-of-sync paid channels — Google and Meta were not receiving real-time customer data, targeting generic audiences instead of leveraging Arena’s actual buyer behavior.
  • One-size-fits-all campaigns — Email and ads pushed to all subscribers couldn’t speak to shopper intent, ignoring valuable engagement opportunities.
  • Unclear channel allocation — Arena’s previous tech stack couldn’t determine when an email would outperform an on-site weblayer, or vice versa — meaning budget was split by assumption, not evidence.

260 Sample Sale’s marketing team knew their sizable email audience held untapped potential — yet without the tools to target and personalize at scale, broad sends remained the default. 

  • The 35-hour production tax = zero time left for growth. Copywriting, audience segmentation, and product block assembly consumed nearly a full FTE’s worth of hours every week, leaving no capacity for strategic initiatives.
  • Manual segmentation = limited personalization. With a contact list of over 900k  customers, the team recognized that a more precise approach to audience segmentation could unlock even greater results, improving deliverability, reducing unsubscribes, and surfacing high-intent buyers who deserved a more tailored experience.
  • Broad sends = missed revenue. Without behavioral targeting, campaigns couldn’t distinguish a loyal VIP from a first-time browser, meaning high-propensity buyers received the same message as everyone else.
  • No clear starting point for automation = slow adoption. The team wanted to hand off complex campaigns to AI, but needed a low-risk, high-confidence entry point before trusting it with their most critical sends.

musicMagpie’s data-driven business model depends on accurate customer insights. However, as browser restrictions on third-party cookies increased, the company anticipated significant challenges.

Historically, marketers relied on pixels and browser trackers to measure conversions and understand customer behavior. With browsers introducing protections like Safari’s Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP), many of those traditional tracking methods were becoming unreliable.

For musicMagpie, losing visibility into customer behavior would mean:

  • Reduced personalization capabilities
  • Less reliable performance tracking
  • Higher acquisition costs
  • Difficulty optimizing marketing spend

At the same time, the company needed deeper insights into the value of its existing customer base. Without structured lifecycle segmentation, it was difficult to distinguish loyal buyers from customers at risk of churning.

musicMagpie needed a solution that could unify customer data, support a cookieless future, and enable smarter retention strategies.

With a growth-focused business strategy and expanding product catalog, DUSK needed a marketing platform that could keep pace with its ambitions. But the limits of its previous email marketing provider made this difficult — data attribution, impactful reporting, and campaign automation was a real challenge, making relevant, timely campaigns difficult to realize.

To create campaigns that aligned with its business goals, DUSK needed to speak directly to its audience with a platform that offered: 

  • A unified view of customer relationships that integrates customer data from all its sources
  • The ability to personalize and orchestrate customer journeys at scale 
  • Detailed reporting that offers granular insights into lucrative touchpoints, campaign performance, and optimization opportunities.

Krombacher needed to scale its loyalty program and deepen customer relationships in an increasingly digital market. But a fragmented tech stack was preventing the German brewer from creating the personalized experiences modern consumers expect.

The problem stack:

  • Siloed systems = fragmented customer view. One tool for CRM data and one managed email marketing, making it difficult to coordinate communications or understand the full customer journey across touchpoints.
  • Manual processes = slow, inefficient campaigns. Without automation or unified data, the team spent excessive hours building campaigns, importing data between systems, and managing customer communications — time that could have been spent on strategy.
  • Generic messaging = poor engagement. One-size-fits-all communications couldn’t leverage loyalty data, customer behaviors, or real-time insights, resulting in a 25% open rate and missed opportunities to drive retention and advocacy.

As Krombacher’s digital ambitions grew, its legacy setup couldn’t support sophisticated segmentation, multi-channel orchestration, or the data integration needed for a modern loyalty program.

In the fast-paced environment of modern football, Newcastle United wanted to create the most meaningful relationships with its fans. Tailoring communications for all its supporters — from matchday ticket buyers and retail customers to international fans — was a top priority, prompting the club to look for a platform that could scale with its evolving needs.

Limited automation, inflexible segmentation, and time-consuming campaign workflows created bottlenecks that hindered the personalized experiences that Newcastle United aimed for. To make its fan-focused strategy come to life, the club needed a solution that could:

  • Unify fan data from all its touchpoints to build comprehensive profiles of its global audience
  • Segment fans based on real-time behavior and build adaptive, automated campaigns
  • Streamline campaign creation with AI-powered capabilities that personalize communications at scale
  • Unlock deeper value from email channel performance
