Select Fashion, More Powerful in Omnichannel Marketing with their Segmentify and dotdigital Partnership!
Developments still follow amid a difficult year for UK fashion retailers since the beginning of the year, which started by a shock profit warning just before Christmas from ASOS, followed by the likes of Sports Direct, Bonmarche, and even Primark. Select Fashion is also one of the high-street womenswear retailers to whom, for the first part of the year, 2019 didn’t bring good tidings. Struggling with all the major challenges of the fashion retail industry, the brand was facing administration.
Aware of the opportunities online, the business was already investing in some tools; but the poor performance from their existing solutions and disjointed marketing channels was driving revenue losses on a daily basis. Looking to improve the situation, Select Fashion decided to leverage its online investments to get more engaged with their customers.
With proven success in boosting ecommerce revenue by at least 20% and increasing conversion rates up to 2.6 times for its hundreds of customers, Segmentify seemed a perfect fit for Select Fashion. After a free trial of its integration and widget designs, Select Fashion partnered with Segmentify for onsite personalised product recommendations and email marketing solutions.
Moreover, dotdigital, another powerful player of omnichannel marketing with its over 4,000-strong customer base in 150+ countries, joined this partnership, adding a valuable competitive advantage. Success became a real certainty for Select Fashion.
RESULTS
Segmentify and dotdigital
Go-live only took three days, and even after the first week Select Fashion saw a 12% increase in revenue and 4% uplift in conversion rates (4x more than its average rate). What’s more, personalised email campaigns had a great success: 87% open rate. During the last two months, improvement continued and Select Fashion secured a 14% increase in revenue, while 33% of all orders included an item from Segmentify’s product recommendations.
“Email marketing is no longer a standalone platform for talking to customers. Today it works more effectively in tandem with other channels and touchpoints. With this in mind, Select Fashion promoted personalized product recommendations along the customer journey – a winning relevancy tactic. The brand has successfully highlighted the clear correlation between integrated data practices and better customer experience, plus significant revenue uplift.”
Gavin Laugenie, Head of Strategy & Insight at dotdigital
