Compelling communications drive customer engagement

Meaningful and conversion-oriented communications cut through the industry noise. In particular, physical touchpoints:

  • Differentiated the brand from competitors
  • Amplified the brand message
  • Built excitement levels
  • Kept buyers engaged
  • Increased brand loyalty

Updated buyer’s journey inspires customer loyalty

A solution focused around four critical moments in the buyer’s journey created purposeful engagement.

1. Awareness

Customers receive a high-value reward, motivating them to choose the brand over competitors.

2. Purchase

Communications are sent within 24 hours of purchase, reminding customers to redeem their offer. This ties customer behavior to the reward.

3. Retention

Timely educational emails nurture existing customers, reminding them of the value they’ve received from the brand.

4. Advocacy

Curated gift options remind customers of the brand, delivering ongoing positive impressions.

Organization expands success

High-value gifts and communications focused on memorable moments continue to set this organization apart.
