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
