Digital Marketing Strategy
PRO Compression, a fast-growing D2C brand of premium compression socks, is on a mission to help everyone perform at their peak and feel their best, whether it’s an elite athlete, a nurse, or just for everyday comfort. As a lean team, PRO Compression partners with Alchemy Worx, a leading digital marketing agency, to strategize, deploy, and optimize their marketing. After initially growing through digital advertising, the team wanted to lean into email to drive growth and needed the right platform to help them scale.
As PRO Compression set their sights on their next level of growth by making email the centerpiece of their marketing strategy, they needed a platform that would allow them to ramp up their email efforts quickly and intelligently, grow their database, and get more sophisticated with their targeting, offers, and timing. They knew they needed a built-in CDP and a deep integration with Shopify to gain a deeper understanding of their customers and how they engage with their brands.
They also wanted AI and predictive capabilities to drive smarter automations and targeting. To deliver on PRO Compression’s ambitions, Alchemy Worx recommended Blueshift based on previous experience with the robust platform. They knew Blueshift would not only meet today’s needs, but also would support PRO Compression as they grew and became more sophisticated with their marketing strategies.
With Alchemy Worx’s strategic guidance and the insight and execution capabilities within the Blueshift platform, PRO Compression transformed email into their strongest revenue-driving channel. They’ve become more targeted and sophisticated with their email campaigns, combining increased frequency with relevance to drive continued engagement. Beyond email, the rich, actionable customer insights within Blueshift have enabled PRO Compression to improve their targeting and segmentation across channels, including digital advertising and direct mail.
To scale their marketing efforts, Alchemy Worx and PRO Compression relied on the following capabilities to drive to scale their impact:
“Automating audience syndication with Blueshift saves us countless hours and eliminates a tedious, manual process. With real-time lists powering our digital advertising, we’ve become as sophisticated and precise with our targeting across digital as we are in email.”
In an ever-evolving industry, having the right partnerships is not only key to driving sustained growth but also key to staying ahead of industry changes. The news of the iOS 15 update, including various new privacy features such as Mail Privacy Protection, disrupted marketers across all industries with its noticeable impact on email marketing. Alchemy Worx took early initiative to find the right approach for PRO Compression. With the data and insights needed in Blueshift, Alchemy Worx redefined how they assess intent and shifted the strategy for PRO Compression to get ahead of the iOS 15 update.
With the effects of iOS 15 on the validity of open rates, the team needed to adapt what metrics they relied on for defining success and engagement. The team shifted their focus to bottom-funnel metrics that were stronger indicators of campaign effectiveness and, ultimately, sales. This approach gave them the opportunity to rethink how they would approach their campaigns and segments and define their strategy moving forward.
“In today’s competitive landscape and with the new iOS updates, marketers of all types, especially email marketers, have to start focusing on bottom of funnel metrics and metrics that are more representative of intent such as clicks and site visits as opposed to opens and Blueshift allows businesses of all sizes to do that.”
Taking it a step further, the team also needed to identify the right metric to gauge intent. The team did extensive testing and data analysis to understand how different behaviors impacted engagement and conversion. Through testing, the team discovered that site visits were a better indicator of both intent and engagement. With that in mind, the team re-engineered their segments to use site visit data as a proxy for opens, a much stronger indicator of actual customer intent.
With metrics and customer intent redefined, the team re-engineered their email strategy to put the focus on customer intent. Their new multi-pronged approach, based on audience type, uses a combination of historical site activity data, click data, and conversion data to ensure they are capturing the entire digital funnel. With the new segments and strategy in place, they are now validating the success of their tests with stronger bottom-funnel metrics.
With the right tool and new strategy, the team has been able to stay ahead of the changes and use it as an opportunity to drive growth. As they continue to see great results from their new strategy, the team plans to continue introducing new campaigns and scaling their marketing with more automation and personalization and plan to begin using predictive intelligence and other features more extensively.
“The success of PRO Compression’s new marketing strategy revolves around putting customer intent at the forefront. Or in other words, PRO Compression is the perfect example of how less is more.”
