Evolution Slimming

Brief

EVOLUTION SLIMMING SUCCESS AT A GLANCE

Using the Emarsys Incentive Recommender, Evolution Slimming experienced a significant boost in engagement by identifying the right discount for each contact. It also increased its overall revenue by avoiding those contacts who would have repurchased without any special discounts.

 

Strategy

Incentive Automation

With limited resources, Evolution Slimming didn’t have the capacity to manually sift through all its data and address the issue.

Uncertainty

The marketing team couldn’t tell if they were targeting the right customers with the best discounts, needlessly undercutting their margins. Using “blanket offers” was a safe and easy approach, but it clashed with Evolution Slimming’s highly customer-focused approach, potentially impacting profits and customer loyalty.

Resource Efficiency

Without impacting the marketing team’s ability to perform core tasks, Evolution Slimming needed the ability to personalise discounts unique to each customer. The team knew that failing to tailor discounts to individuals would be detrimental to the brand’s win-back strategies.

 

Execution

Data-Driven Discounts

Evolution Slimming applied attribution analysis to its existing data, using historical engagement activity to calculate response patterns for each user, and then automatically tailoring discounts to each individual contact.

Measurable Performance Gains

Evolution Slimming removed the guesswork from its incentive strategy by performing side-by-side comparisons of segments receiving their standard offers, and segments where individuals received smart offers.

Streamlined Campaigns

The ability to include smart discounts in campaigns at the flick of a switch gave the team more confidence during campaign creation, as they no longer had to perform labour-intensive cost/benefit analyses before determining incentive thresholds.

 

Result

The artificial intelligence technology behind the Incentive Recommendations feature enabled Evolution Slimming to infuse discounts with highly personalised offers that truly boosted engagement and drove conversions.
