Initial situation

Travador has a huge email database with hundreds of thousands of contacts. These included many addresses of customers who had not been active for some time - whether due to a lack of purchases or low newsletter opening rates. The key question was: was it worth keeping these contacts or should they be discarded?

The challenge

  • Amount of data: Over 500,000 contacts had to be validated.
  • Cost/benefit analysis: Reactivation campaigns have great potential, keeping inactive contacts is associated with considerable costs.

Measures

  • Email validation: Technical check of all contacts to screen out inactive, incorrect or risky addresses.
  • Automation: Use of smart processes to increase efficiency in the reactivation campaign.
  • Reactivation strategy: Gradual re-approach of validated contacts over a period of approx. 2 months per address.
  • Cost control: Implementation of mechanisms to maintain a balance between campaign costs and earnings potential.

Results

  • Over 90 % valid contacts - a positive surprise in the B2C environment
  • Basis for long-term reactivation of the customer base
  • Efficient cost control through automation
  • New sales potential by winning back inactive customers
