Utilizing customer data to deliver targeted promotions.

Strategy

Challenge

  • The retailer needed to maximize revenue during the key, peak shopping holiday period.
  • Turkey sales are a key item for the retailer, but customer experience is also a focus, so promotions needed to be relevant.

Solution

  • Waitrose fed customer data from its loyalty program into Monetate. This allowed the retailer to only target visitors who bought a turkey last year but had not done so again this year.
  • The retailer then tested two different variations in messaging.

Outcome

20% uplift in conversion
