Re-Engagement and Re-Activation
Re-Engagement campaign: Strategy
> Identify segment that need “re-engaging”> Conduct a group split on that list (break into smaller segments)> Create a split test program on creative and incentives> Run a deliverability test on each segment to identify potential issues in real time> Identify and resolve issues before sending to the next segment> Filter out bounces and don’t resend to them
> ***Click through tracking must be enabled to identify each subscriber who clicks. With a two-button system, a small % of subscribers may click on both. Don’t opt-out all subscribers who click on the ‘NO’ link; instead send them to the standard opt-out page so a second step is required in order to opt-out.
The Re-Engagement Challenge:What to do when email addresses are dormant or bouncing
50 million people change their email addresses each year.
• Consequently, organizations experience 2-3% attrition/month
• ~ 30% email list attrition per year.
• Clarify what email address you have for them and provide an easy, user-friendly way for them to update it
• Respond in a timely manner to requests from your customers regarding updates
• Ask for a back-up email address during registration
Make it easy for customers to update their email addresses
How it works…
Suppressions are run, then a
Permission Message
is sent to ensure deliverability
and permission.
Send in your bouncing or inactive email list for processing.
b) Remaining file matched against ECOA database
a) Audit processes scrub and update where possible.
All data is 100% opted-in with time, date,
and source info.
After a final data scrub, vendor returns updated file to you. All results are 100% guaranteed deliverable.
