USE CASE #1

Precision Engagement Drives Record Revenue

The challenge

Pichau previously relied on frequent communications and multiple touchpoints, but this dispersed approach did not deliver the expected engagement or conversion results. The previous platforms lacked advanced features for segmentation and channel prioritization, which limited the impact of interactions. Therefore, they needed to drive higher engagement with fewer but more relevant and personalized interactions to achieve better results.

The solution

Insider enabled advanced audience segmentation and content personalization, ensuring every communication, though less frequent, was more focused and relevant. Data-driven insights optimized both content and delivery timing for higher effectiveness.

USE CASE #2

Unlocking Channel Value with Smart Recommendations

The challenge

Pichau recognized significant unused potential in stand-alone channels such as Email and Web Push, which were largely underutilized and delivering limited impact on engagement, revenue, and ROI. Additionally, their website was not leveraging personalization to guide customers to the most relevant products, missing opportunities to convert browsing into meaningful sales. The brand needed to unlock and maximize these channels’ value by implementing targeted product recommendations and personalized experiences for every shopper.

The solution

Insider powered Email and Web Push optimization with A/B testing, segmentation, and AI based product suggestions by Smart Recommender ensuring greater relevance and higher conversion potential.
