Talk to an expertVodafone was working with a competitor and wanted to see how SaleCycle could improve their performance. The initial goal was to focus on home broadband, with the idea that if successful, it would be extended to all products. The main objective of the campaign was to increase the conversion rates of abandoned carts on-site for the home broadband team. The company wanted to boost the number of home broadband sales since this campaign had previously taken a back seat, with phones and SIM cards being prioritised.
Talk to an expertOn-site remarketing was implemented to help Vodafone's teams achieve their key objectives. The main aim of this campaign was to increase on-site conversion rates by displaying attractive offers when a customer was inactive or about to click away from the website to persuade them to stay on and complete their purchase. A first display ad was launched, which the company has been using every month to promote the latest offers. The second on-site remarketing solution was called “Problem Solver”, with the aim of solving a key question: “What is the customer looking for during their journey? This was based on the idea of a customer physically walking into a Vodafone store and being greeted by a sales assistant. The onsite “Problem Solver” message helps to understand the customer's needs and suggest the best solution.
Using SaleCycle, a two-cycle basket abandonment email campaign was launched, including a consent scraper for home broadband. The optimisation phase focused on the open rate and click-through rate, which improved performance. A third email cycle was also launched to further improve performance. Following the huge success with home broadband, the campaign was rolled out to all products on the site, taking over from the previous supplier. This included the launch of a two-cycle basket abandonment campaign for phones, SIM cards, tablets, and laptops with 3 key customer teams: Acquisition (new customers), Second Line (existing customers buying another product), and Upgrades (existing customers upgrading their package). Once again, after initial success, third cycle emails were deployed for all live campaigns to improve performance by a further 5%.
Vodafone was able to increase online sales across all its teams by implementing SaleCycle's cart abandonment program and on-site campaigns. SaleCycle is responsible for generating over 2,000 online sales each month from cart abandonment alone. In just 90 days, SaleCycle contributed to 2.66% of all Vodafone's sales.
