How Vision Direct drives click-throughs with personalization

The first task was to set up an email acquisition program to generate relevant, engaged subscribers. The company worked with Fresh Relevance to implement and fine-tune a GDPR compliant popover. For more detail, check out the dedicated success story here.

Once customers have signed up, the next stage is to move them along the purchase journey with highly personalized emails. Vision Direct uses dotdigital to easily build and send emails, which are then personalized with dynamic content via Fresh Relevance.

Personalized content includes recently viewed products and latest purchases to encourage customers to re-order. The impact of these product recommendations has been impressive, with the company recording a 557% increase in click-throughs.
