How we do it

Customer Insight

We find insights from your data to understand purchase behaviours, indicators of next purchase and frequency to inform the planning of the CRM programme.

  • Using Cohort Analysis to show the Lifetime Value and buying patterns of key segments
  • Understanding key contributory factors that lead to churn
  • Predicting the next most likely purchases of a customer, essential for moving one-time purchasers to many
  • Segment comparison to show differences in value, behaviour and size between types of customer
  • Developing Persons's and using RFM to segment database more effectively

Single Customer View & Data Management

The building blocks for any CRM programme is the Single Customer View. Data is taken from disparate data sources, cleaned, de-duped and enriched with website browsing data.

This provides a solid foundation for understanding your customers, and segmenting your campaigns upon against any of the data you hold.

  • Get one holistic view of all customers
  • Data transformed and enriched to allow simple on-the-fly segmentation on any data point
  • Enrich customer data with additional data including a full history of website activity
  • Maintain subscription history & dedupe across more than just email address
  • Push additional data fields into your email marketing and marketing automation platforms

Creative & Campaign Planning

Using customer insight and tapping into influencing techniques and emotion, we deliver you the creative concepts and big ideas that combine data with creativity for added impact.

  • Creation of a range creative concepts to cut through inbox clutter
  • Full design service or work in conjunction with your existing design team
  • Personalisation & ‘Live Content’ such as timers, weather forecasts, maps and more used to additional impact
Personalisation & Live Email Content

We aim for truly unique content for every individual including product recommendations and tailored promotions.

Our innovative way of delivering content at the moment of open allows us to adapt emails after they have been sent based upon live stock data or user actions, and target based upon contextual factors such as location, device, weather and current time.

Crucially this also allows us to overcome some of the integration hurdles with your ESP and Marketing Automation providers for injecting one-to-one content into campaigns.

Marketing Automation

Triggered emails such as winback, welcome, nurture and next purchase campaigns are essential for a successful CRM programme. Our work helps define the priority of messaging along with arriving at cut through content that creates impact.

  • Use a 'Next Best Action' approach to ensure the highest priority campaign is delivered to each customer
  • Frequency rules to prevent email overload
  • Enrich customer data with additional data including a full history of website activity
  • Integrated with your Email Service Provider - no need to change email marketing systems
  • Built-in reporting to show incremental uplift campaigns deliver

Measurement & Attribution

Using control cells against every campaign we are able to show the incremental uplift of your eCRM activity rather than relying on basic open, click and conversion stats.

Additional customer insights are delivered through customer centric reports including cohort analysis & customer segment reports.

Furthermore we track every single web visit a customer makes, including the traffic source that delivers them to your site. This allows us to create attribution reports which detail how successful your acquisition channels are at delivering new, valuable customers or whether they simply canabalise existing customer sales.

  • Get one holistic view of all customers
  • Data transformed and enriched to allow simple on-the-fly segmentation on any data point
  • Enrich customer data with additional data including a full history of website activity
  • Maintain subscription history & dedupe across more than just email address
  • Push additional data fields into your email marketing and marketing automation platforms

Jones Bootmaker are an established footwear retailer with over 100 shops across the UK and a thriving online store.

Segmentum developed an in-store 'free gift with every purchase' promotion where customers would enter their details along with reciept number on the special micro-site. This allowed Jones to link the email sign-up with the purchase information, and instantly fulfil any incentives.

  • 25% of customers would leave their details allowing Jones to grow their database by over 20% in the first month alone
  • Additional emails with a bespoke set of recommendations were sent within 30 days to customers inspiring customers to make a 2nd purchase online
  • The creative was given added impact by replacing the branding within the hero shoe with that of the customer
  • 1 in 60 purchased for the 2nd time as a result of receiving this email

Increasing Activation & Reducing Churn with 'live' personalisation

Client Logo

easyfundraising are a shopping site that enables supporters of good causes such as their child's school, local sports club or personal challenge to raise a donation every time they shop online.

Remembering to visit the site prior to shopping is the key challenge and as a result there was a requirement to both help activate new supporters, and reactivate supporters who have stopped using the service.

Segmentum helped create a number of creatives with innovative 'live' email content functionality to create added impact and connect emotionally with supporters. This included:

  • Live animated timers for inactive supporters showing how long since they raised for their cause, constantly ticking up in seconds
  • Developed a shopping preferences survey that calculated a personalised shopping list for the supporter, raising awareness of the breadth of shopping experiences that allow them to raise
  • Promotion of the desktop browser toolbar or mobile app based upon the device the email is opened on
  • Maps of alternative causes in their area for those who may wish to change the cause they support

98% uplift in enquiries with pet based personalisation

Client Logo

PetsPyjamas is the number one destination for stylish pets and their owners, offering 1000’s of accessories and dog-friendly holidays.

Having captured information about the name and breed of owners pets Segmentum helped utilise this in a personalisation strategy.

Firstly a concept was developed where one of the office dogs sent a postcard to the owners pets, talking about their holiday, complete with tailored recommendations based upon their past preferences. This led to over a 320% increase in click-rate and doubled the travel enquiries compared to traditional emails.

Numerous additional emails including pet birthday, breed specific, winback and pre-departure emails helped contribute to further improvements in revenue, conversion and engagement.

Bringing live TV Shopping into the inbox

JewelleryMaker is a TV shopping channel & one of the largest UK sellers of handmade jewellery supplies, offering wide range of products for DIY jewellery making projects.
