Overview

About the Brand & the Project

A growing natural skincare brand specializing in organic cleansers, serums, moisturizers, and wellness-focused beauty products wanted to improve customer retention and generate more revenue from its existing customer base.

The Challenge

Strong Acquisition, Weak Repeat Purchase Rate

While the company was successfully attracting new customers through digital marketing and organic traffic, repeat purchase rates remained below expectations, with high cart abandonment, limited post-purchase engagement, and generic, low-performing email campaigns.

Strategy & Execution

Segmentation-Led Lifecycle Email Marketing

A targeted email marketing strategy was developed including customer segmentation, a welcome series, abandoned cart recovery, post-purchase follow-ups, replenishment reminders, and personalized product recommendations.

New subscribers entered an automated welcome sequence introducing the brand story and product benefits. Customers who abandoned carts received personalized reminders featuring product benefits and reviews, while post-purchase campaigns delivered skincare education and replenishment reminders.
