<ul>
<li>
<h3>Need</h3>
<p>A way to optimize communication and sales priority across a large and diverse customer portfolio in order to continue increasing sales and customer loyalty.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h3>What We Created</h3>
<p>A 360-degree view to the customer</p>
<p>Share of wallet and spending potential based on external data.</p>
<p>Segmentation provided the means for where to seek deeper customer engagement and which customers to disengage with.</p>
<p>Sales Playbook - right message, right offer at the right time.</p>
<p>Optimized contact strategies delivered relevant messages and offers across all channels - including sales - based on the customers behavior.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<h3>What We Learned</h3>
<p>Low value or low opportunity sites typically churn quickly and consume a high level of marketing resources without a corresponding return.</p>
<p>An integrated plan that includes sales increased overall effectiveness.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h3>Results</h3>
<p>Sales and Marketing were closely aligned and Sales knew where to focus each day within their portfolio - which lead to an increase in retention and re-buy rates.</p>
<p>Marketing delivered relevant content that helped to grow response and retention.</p>
<p>Disengagement saved millions in marketing resources with little impact to top line sales.</p>
<p><span>Growth&nbsp;</span>from a ~5.5b organization to over 8b and was taken private.</p>

<li>
<h3>Need</h3>
<p><span>A&nbsp;</span>well know retailer&rsquo;s primary medium of free standing newspaper inserts is quickly eroding and does little to attract new customers or keep existing customers engaged.</p>
<p>After 50 years, the brand does not have a consumer database and has little insight into who their consumers are and their level of engagement with the brand.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h3>What We Created</h3>
<p>A loyalty program that engages with both existing consumers and targeted households near stores.</p>
<p>Relevant content and editorial brings the brand to life beyond price and item.</p>
<p>Benefits for enrolling include behavior based rewards, special coupon offers and in store discounts.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<h3>Pilot Project</h3>
<p>Pilot is 8 stores in 3 markets with quick extension to an additional 10 stores.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h3>Full Rollout</h3>
<p>After a 3 month pilot a full scale rollout to 200+ stores took place.</p>
<p>In less than 6 months we went from a customer base of zero to more than 700,000 names.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h3>Goals</h3>
<p>Rich consumer insight into who responds and who doesn't respond to the acquisition offers.</p>
<p>Learning about the level of benefits and offers that create consumer engagement.</p>
<p>Increase consideration of World Market as a destination and increase visits.</p>

<ul>
<li>
<h3>Need</h3>
<p>The corporate office sought a deeper engagement with owners beyond the experience they received through the dealer network to increase brand loyalty and ultimately sell more vehicles through increased retention and re-buy rates.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h3>What We Created</h3>
<p>A comprehensive database of owners, their vehicles ( what they had in the drive-way ) and attributes we gathered from third parties and directly from the owner.</p>
<p>Key insights into what was important to buyers when considering their next vehicle purchase - Safety - Engineering - Performance - Style - Prestige.</p>
<p>An understanding of when they were considering their next purchase.</p>
<p>Personalized content relevant to what was important to them along with a car class recommendation.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<h3>What We Learned</h3>
<p>Owners nearly always purchased sooner than they indicated reinforcing the need for consistent and relevant communication.</p>
<p>We acquired new consumers to the franchise.</p>
<p>Engagement focused efforts increased loyalty, retention and sold more vehicles.</p>
</li>
<li>
<h3>Results</h3>
<p>Over 5,500 incremental units were attributed to the program - at the time they were selling ~100,000 units annually, a significant lift.</p>
<p>New vehicle purchases were often made sooner than the consumer indicated, 6 - 9 months sooner on average for those in the program.</p>
