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:
As SmartPak expanded its product offerings, third-party apparel line, and targeted market to include barn owners, the company found itself in a state of hypergrowth. However, this rapid expansion of the business and diversification of product lines presented a unique challenge for SmartPak. Even though the company aimed to remain true to its roots and ensure that each customer interaction felt personalized and genuine, the brand also had to keep pace with the growing demands of an increasingly diverse customer base with various needs, wants, and pain points.
Though armed with personal equine expertise, the small merchandising team found themselves in uncharted territory. Now, they had to provide the same level of service that reflected the brand’s customer-first mindset at scale — without compromising the company’s commitment to providing high-quality, tailored ecommerce experiences to its customers.
Fortunately, SmartPak saw this challenge as an opportunity to innovate and adapt, leveraging its equine industry knowledge and close-knit team dynamic to develop a merchandising strategy that would allow it to scale effectively. Despite these growing pains, the ecommerce department was confident that they could maintain Smartpak’s high standards by continuing to build meaningful relationships with customers through intuitive digital experiences, no matter how large their audience, product line, or in-house business ventures grew.

Because of its business model and market position, VR is in a unique position.
VR is the only major company in Finland that offers passenger train service — with both short-haul and long-haul journeys — on a daily basis. That means the company can focus its attention and budget on optimizing the customer experience. With private cars and other means of transport serving as its main competitors, VR focuses on activating its customers and giving them the best possible experience on their rides.
Roughly 90% of train tickets sold are bought in self-service channels, many of which are digital. This number made VR want to begin working in a more data-driven manner to better serve customers digitally, as well as use personalization to offer limitless ecommerce experiences and keep its brand top of mind.
With a lean marketing team, an audience of diverse, dedicated fandoms, and dozens of product drops every month, Sideshow needed to deliver marketing campaigns that were fast, relevant, and effortless to execute.
But demanding campaign-building processes were slowing things down. Each launch required new content, audience segmentation, and journey building, with multiple steps and collaborators involved. These bottlenecks made it difficult to launch campaigns quickly, limiting Sideshow’s ability to react to real-time opportunities.
To keep pace with demand and personalize its messages across channels — without adding complexity — Sideshow adopted Affinity, Bloomreach’s autonomous marketing solution.
Over the past 16 years, Crafter’s Companion has built an extremely loyal customer base via TV shopping channels and its own Crafter’s TV. Many customers spend hours watching tutorials and crafting sessions, fostering a community that feels more like a fan base.
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.
