Using advanced segmentation to increase conversion rates with highly targeted messaging

The challenge

Vodafone was looking for ways to enhance its cross-channel marketing strategy and test new channels for engaging its audience. They wanted to increase Average Revenue Per User (ARPU), customer retention and loyalty, and conversions.

The solution

Insider’s cross-channel capabilities—including Web Push, On-Site, Email, and Facebook—helped Vodafone engage its audience with consistent, timely messaging across multiple channels.

With 120+ ready-made attributes to segment users (including traits, behaviors, preferences, and more), Insider empowered Vodafone’s marketing team to quickly build and launch new, expertly segmented campaigns to highly targeted audiences.

USE CASE #2

Increasing CVR by 159% with Cart Reminder Push Notifications

The challenge

Vodafone was looking to improve its conversion rate and believed cart abandoners would be a great low-hanging segment to target. Having completed most steps in the sales funnel already, a small nudge towards completing their goals could make a huge difference in conversion rate.

The solution

To increase conversions amongst this engaged audience, Vodafone launched a cart reminder campaign. They targeted cart abandoners with onsite ‘cart reminder’ messaging while browsing the site, helping create a sense of urgency and demand about their cart.

Last quarter, on-site cart reminders increased conversion rates by 159% and the platform as a whole delivered more than 6X ROI.

Vodafone also loves how Insider’s onboarding and customer support teams are on-hand every step of the way. “They understand what we’re looking to achieve and go out of their way to help us achieve it. At Vodafone, we have a lot of partnerships, but Insider is a preferred one.”

Looking ahead

Vodafone is always looking ahead to best serve its customers. Following the success of the Insider partnership, Vodafone is keen to explore emerging new channels to boost engagement and communication with its’ customers – where they already are. 

The marketing and eCommerce teams are actively exploring how to further use Insider’s AI-predictive segments to predict customer behavior to tailor every touch point, based on predicted intent in real-time.
