Cart abandonment email
One of the early rapid improvements was achieved by overhauling the cart abandonment strategy which previously triggered a single cart abandonment email two hours after a customer had left their shopping cart. The new two-step campaign automatically triggers an email 15 minutes after departure and then again after 24 hours, if no action is taken by the customer. The revised approach has been complimented by a significant uplift in customer identification, which is a decisive factor for any remarketing effort. Senior Email Marketer at kleertjes.com, Niek Stofbergen explains: “By combining multiple identification strategies, the platform allows us to track shoppers across multiple devices without requiring them to log in. In no time, we went from a 25% identification rate to an extremely impressive 65%.”

Product recommendations
With this newfound customer insight, the kleertjes.com marketing team were now in a strong position to introduce personalized product recommendations into email newsletters including bestsellers, ‘people like you buy’ and ‘recommended for you’. They have also launched branded newsletters, whereby any customer who buys Tommy Hilfiger for example, will receive an email with recommendations as soon as the new collection is released. The results have been amazing as Stofbergen adds: “Today, our work with Fresh Relevance is driving approximately 2.1% of our overall gross sales.”

Future plans
Looking to the near future, kleertjes.com is planning to further extend its use of the Fresh Relevance platform with the introduction of price drop alert and replenishment emails as well as increasing website personalization. Stofbergen offers this advice to other retailers: “Even if you’re already running abandonment campaigns I would recommend Fresh Relevance to anyone who wants to drive revenue by delivering more targeted emails. Fresh Relevance will identify more customers and feed your ESP with more personalized and relevant triggers so that volumes in your best converting campaigns will increase significantly.” He concludes: “The technology and performance surpassed my expectations.”
