A new approach to the customer journey

Using Voyado Engage, Love Stories can customize all communication with the right approach and tonality, depending on how far along the customer journey they are.

Whether someone is in the market for something new, perhaps frustrated with the selection they find or are open to trying new lingerie, the messaging they receive is appropriate to that moment. Once a customer completes their first purchase and becomes a first-time buyer, they become committed to the relationship with Love Stories, the approach and tonality shifts again accordingly to their phase in the customer journey.

“We use Voyado Engage to build everything from audiences and segments where we can easily connect our database of customers and generate lookalike or direct targeting audiences in Facebook,” says Claudia Moron, Head of eCommerce at Love Stories.

22% membership base increase

Retailers always aim to grow the existing number of customers. Love Stories have seen a 22% membership base increase since introducing Voyado Engage. Part of this growth can be attributed to their focus on loyal consumers and customer centric model, where the mantra is “understand before being understood.”

57% of the revenue comes from recurring customer

With an enviable 57% of revenue coming from recurring customers, Love Stories makes sure to go the extra mile to make sure those loyal customers are given the VIP treatment. This goes well beyond the traditional notions of reward points and vouchers, for example they have a fully furnished apartment above the Amsterdam flagship store, which might be offered to VIP customers for sleepovers during certain events.

11.2% conversion rate on abandoned cart emails

Claudia Moron explains why she is such a fan of automations. “CRM automations are a game changer to me, because they are so extremely easy and so powerful.” Love Stories uses automations in various ways: to welcome customers, to provide after-care information about a purchased product, and to win back customers who have not recently ordered. She continues “once you have set them up, they just run in the background.” In addition to setting up automations to follow the customer journey, Love Stories has seen great results from their Abandoned Cart automations which have a whopping 11.2% conversion rate.

Wrap-up

So, it’s little wonder that a brand who began with the intention to disrupt the lingerie industry, has succeeded with a uniquely tailored approach to marketing messaging.

“Voyado is the engine behind all the different phases and commnication within the customer journey,” says Claudia Moron, Head of eCommerce at Love Stories.
