Solutions

Divers Supply had not previously used email marketing strategically, despite it being a cost-effective channel to reach a larger audience. BayEngage from TargetBay provided the solutions needed to transform their email marketing efforts.

Growing the Email List: BayEngage deployed ecommerce pop-ups on high-traffic web pages to grow Divers Supply's email list. This list was then used to send email campaigns promoting special offers, new product launches, scuba lessons, and seasonal deals, resulting in an increase in revenue of $55,000 every month.

Advanced Segmentation and Targeting: BayEngage utilized advanced segmentation to track customer purchase behavior. This allowed Divers Supply to send targeted email campaigns and place customers in automation workflows for personalized communication, leading to an increase in weekly sales by $5,939.

Recovering Abandoned Carts: To address the issue of abandoned carts, BayEngage created nine different email templates and implemented them in drip email campaigns. This strategy successfully recovered $71,456 monthly.

Strategy

Implementing Signups: High-traffic web pages were monitored, and BayEngage signup forms were integrated to expand the email list. This enabled Divers Supply to send personalized email campaigns, keeping subscribers informed and engaged.

Email Automation Flows: BayEngage’s pre-built email templates were effectively utilized to send updates to subscribers and customers about offers, coupons, seasonal promotions, welcome emails, low-stock alerts, post-purchase follow-ups, birthdays, and back-in-stock notifications.

Drip Campaigns: Abandoned cart emails were sent to remind customers to complete their shopping, along with coupons to encourage conversions.
