Creating Smart Overlays to increase conversions by 68% in just four weeks
The challenge
Miele wanted to ensure its customers were making the most of its appliances. Sometimes, this required an additional product, designed to optimize the performance of the appliance. The marketing team knew that not promoting these additional products could lead to poor performance of the original appliance, resulting in bad reviews and harming their brand.
With this in mind, the company wanted to focus on incentivizing customers to purchase the additional products when expanding into new markets. However, the team understood the importance of suggesting tailored products based on purchasing and website behavior, rather than bombarding customers with irrelevant ones. The team was looking for a solution that offered data-driven product recommendation features.
The solution
Insider suggested Smart Overlays, a small pop-up that appeared with a promo code for complementary products when visitors added particular appliances to their baskets. To encourage additional purchases, the promotion was only valid after a certain threshold that the customer had to hit.
With the discount code, customers could add their complementary product to the cart at a lower price and ensure their appliances were as efficient and effective as possible. Smart Overlays helped Miele boost its brand reputation as the products were now performing at their best, increasing positive reviews in new markets and driving more revenue.

Summary
Miele noticed its attempt to expand into European markets was being affected by customers not buying the right products for its appliances. This was impacting appliance performance and brand reputation. Insider’s Smart Overlays displayed relevant products and discounts, elevating customer experience and brand reputation, and generating a 68% increase in conversions in under one month.
Looking ahead
Miele is confident they can continue to maintain this revenue, order value, and conversion rate growth after such a strong start.

WhatsApp Commerce is an end-to-end buying experience from within the app, which boosts product discovery and customer relationships by engaging customers on the world’s number one messaging app.
