Big improvements with growth
The Challenge
Reducing manual set-up and driving email clicks, opens, and conversions
MAC Group succeeds because of their “company within a company” philosophy—each product is run as its own company, with its own unique needs and marketing demands. While this method makes for extremely personalized and relevant communications, it’s also time and resource-intensive, especially as MAC Group continues to grow its catalog and subscriber list. And after being in business almost thirty years, MAC Group’s massive customer database had begun to fragment, further complicating their segmentation and email marketing processes.
Here were their goals:
- Drive email clicks, opens, and conversions towards customer engagement and purchases
- Reduce manual set-up and execution of technical processes
- Ensure organization and sanitation of mailing lists
- Deliver personalized communications and relevant recommendations
