Customer Success Story

The SolutionPartnering with Lyris, Harvey Norman installed a reliable email and digital marketing platform to capture and better understand the behaviors of its online customers in order to deliver superior customer experiences and increase online conversions, and to generate more leads. In addition, Lyris Professional Services developed a full customer lifecycle messaging program for Harvey Norman, including engagement strategies for every stage of the customer buyer journey, from initial purchase or subscription through post-purchase support and re-engagement.

Strategy #1: Facebook Subscription FormLyris deployed a tab on the Harvey Norman Facebook page with a link to its subscription form, offering the company’s fans an easy and painless point of entry into its email program. Leveraging Facebook in this way enables Harvey Norman to grow its subscriber base, extend its reach for engaging subscribers with news of exclusive competitions, invitations, offers and discounts, product recommendations, and special events at local stores, and to provide access to online buying guides and catalogs.

Strategy #2: Welcome ProgramOne of the first steps in Harvey Norman’s customer lifecycle messaging program is to welcome new email subscribers. Lyris developed an automated three-stage Welcome program to encourage those subscribers to shop online and spend more on their online purchases.The first stage provides information on the benefits of being a subscriber and includes a voucher to use towards a subsequent purchase.The second stage highlights the benefits of online shopping with Harvey Norman.The third stage continues to highlight online shopping benefits and also includes customer testimonials.

“We have been very impressed with Lyris’ professionalism, the rapid and seamless implementation, and the capabilities of the platform to manage the scale of our digital marketing programs.”

Strategy #3: Live Email ContentLyris tailored Harvey Norman’s emails with live content that adapts in real time to customers’ location, device, time of open, and behavior. This gives subscribers a truly personalized and engaging email experience. For example, some emails that contain time-sensitive information – such as voucher codes that are only valid for 48 hours – include countdown timers to create a sense of urgency. Other emails apply location-targeting technology to provide a Google Maps Directions link to the store closest to a subscriber’s location at the time he or she opens the email.

Strategy #4: Magento IntegrationLyris integrated its digital marketing platform with Harvey Norman’s ecommerce platform, Magento, in order to leverage subscribers’ website and shopping cart behaviors and send highly relevant and engaging emails. Subscribers who start shopping carts but abandon them before completing a purchase automatically receive an email that reminds them about the contents of those carts and encourages them to easily complete the transaction.

Strategy #5: Customer Loyalty Program – Hot DealsHarvey Norman’s business philosophy strongly emphasizes customer loyalty, so Lyris implemented a program to keep the company’s valued customers engaged and rewarded. The Harvey Norman website functions much like a daily deals site. Twice a week, the site is updated with new “hot deals,” and this action serves as a trigger for a new round of automated email promotions. The Lyris platform extracts the hot deals information from the website and into the emails, which are deployed to the company’s general marketing database of active email subscribers.

The ResultsSince partnering with Lyris, Harvey Norman has achieved greater capabilities for capturing, collecting, and acting on customer data to drive meaningful engagement and deliver measurable results. The company has significantly grown its email database and now, having established a strong email and digital marketing foundation, it can look forward to continued success in improving customer retention and loyalty, generating new leads, and rapidly responding to critical conversion opportunities.
