StrongMail study finds life events engage consumers
Sending email campaigns to consumers who have abandoned shopping carts or purchased products in the past is great, but a new report from StrongMail finds that campaigns triggered by life events - adding a family member, a move, new job or significant birthday - may outperform other types of email marketing.
"Marketers are quickly realizing that batch-and-blast email marketing is no longer effective," said Scott Ollivier, vice president of products at StrongMail. "To stand out in the inbox, marketers must evolve and speed their adoption of lifecycle marketing programs. With the release of StrongMail's new drag-and-drop Lifecycle Marketing solution and corresponding strategic, creative and implementation services, StrongMail is making it easy for companies of all sizes to adopt this powerful technique."
Called the 'lifecycle', these type of email campaigns are targeted to specific events rather than more traditional, transactional campaigns which may target a product in which the consumer may or may not be interested. Marketing diapers to a woman who recently had a baby, for instance, will be much more engaging than a generic 'batch-and-blast' campaign marketing dish detergent.
According to the report:
Even with the uptick in adoption of these kinds of programs there is some lag, most based on small marketing budgets. StrongMail's new Lifecycle Marketing release may help ease the strain of low budgets or the lack of tools for some brands. The platform offers drag and drop design tools, real time APIs and split testing options to help marketers better control their spend and optimize campaign ROI.
