12. Data Capture and Welcome – J. Crew
• What do you really need to
know when you first meet
someone:
– First name
– Last name
• This also asks for:
– Email twice
– Password twice
– Password hint
– Country
@SkipFidura@dotmailer #CustomerJourney Slide 12
13. Data Capture and Welcome – J. Crew
• This email is sent immediately
• Greeting and copy tone match
the brand
• This email does call out the
benefits of registering but will
they be perceived as a
benefit?
@SkipFidura@dotmailer #CustomerJourney Slide 13
14. Data Capture and Welcome – J. Crew
• A more branded email comes
the next day
• Missed some tricks
– Not personalised
– CTA to website but this
follows a registration on
the website
– Doesn’t reinforce the
benefits of the time the
customer spent giving up
their details
@SkipFidura@dotmailer #CustomerJourney Slide 14
16. Abandon Browse and Basket
• First and foremost highlight the
products that they were viewing
or in the basket
• Position this email as a value
added service
– Holding the products for you
– Anything we can do to help
– Overcome barriers and
objections
• Feature related products
@SkipFidura@dotmailer #CustomerJourney Slide 17
18. Why you should send transactional emails
Post-sale transactional emails
have the highest customer
engagement of any
communication:
• Minimize post-purchase
dissonance
• Reduce returns
• Build customer loyalty and
trust
• Build online brand advocacy
• Maximize upsell and cross-sell
revenue
Slide 19 @SkipFidura @dotmailer #CustomerJourney
19. Order Confirmation
• Say “Thank You”
• Confirm payment, product and delivery
details
• Show related products
• Share customer service details
• Encourage people to sign-up who haven’t
already
• Ensure that the message is on brand both
visually and tone of voice.
Good but Not Carling……..Survey here?
The most important part has yet to occur
Was it delivered on time & in good condition?
@SkipFidura@dotmailer #CustomerJourney Slide 20
20. Shipping Confirmation
• This is always a good news
message
• Don’t let your carrier take the
glory – unless the message
isn’t great (e.g. wide delivery
window)
• Confirm the shipping details
• Another good opportunity to
cross and up sell.
@SkipFidura@dotmailer #CustomerJourney Slide 21
22. Surveys are a Form of Digital Body Language
• Time the email within a couple of
days of delivery
• Ideally include an image or
description of the product
purchased to remind customers
which purchase they are reviewing
• Include customer services details
or a special department to resolve
issues before they leave the review
• Do not forget to thank all reviews –
positive and negative
• Follow up on all reviews if possible
@SkipFidura@dotmailer #CustomerJourney Slide 23
23. Product replenishment
• First Priority – Will they buy
the product again?
• Second Priority – Will they
buy it from you?
• Tailor it to the product
– Product specific timing
– Product image
– Dynamic content in you
other marketing comms

24. Some Thoughts About Retention
By Skip Fidura, dotmailer Global Client Services director
• Did you wake up wanting to be retained today?
• How much time should you spend on your “Monthly Email
Campaign where you Repurpose Stuff Off Your Website”?
• If you could personally walk a single customer through
their journey from first purchase to loyal customer, what
would your story be?
Slide 25 @SkipFidura @dotmailer #CustomerJourney
If you believe what you read then you should be working on …
But if you heard … then you are not alone.
The reality is that people still buy from people.
Gone are the days of the corner shop where
The shop keeper knew you
Stocked the things you liked
Knew which products should be running low.
Over £1B is spent annually on merchandising and POS
Let’s see how well these brands do …
You know what you are going to get whenever you go into one of these shops
If you go into a Gap you know that:
Greet
Hi How are you today? Anything I can help you with?
Let me help you find that in your size.
Let me find something else to go with that.
Show what other people are trying on
Point out in store promos
Too busy? I can hold that behind the till for you.
Upsell on the till
Ask for email address on the till.
Thank you. Come again.
So what about the buying phase? People buy from people but digital has totally removed the human element. Think about the last time your bought something online from a store other than Amazon. Are you sure it wasn’t Amazon? Every Checkout looks like Amazon, else there will be a high abandon rate during the purchase process.
And that highlights the problem. If every check-out process looks like Amazon, then they quickly become sterile and anonymous. You can take your logo and switch it out with any of your competitors and your customer will not know the difference.
So we need to differentiate ourselves by removing the sterility and being more human. It is simple stuff like saying “Thank You.” We conducted some research on 60 top UK and US online brands and were shocked to find that the vast majority were not even doing the basics like:
Sending a thank you message when somebody buys something or registers on your website
Most brands send order conformation emails but they come out of the eCommerce platform and are therefor not tracked in any way and are frankly never on brand
The best shipping conformation came from the shipper not the company from whom we bought the product.
The list goes on.
We spend so much time being digital marketers that we forget that all we are really trying to accomplish is human interactions – at scale.
The bricks and mortar journey can be broken into four main parts…
I have typed this out for you.
While on the face of it this looks like a short form, would they have been better asking for details that could be used to deliver a richer experience rather than focussing on creating an account
Just because you think something is a benefit doesn’t mean that it is.
They follow that email up one day later but…
No personalisation
CTA drives reader to “explore” the website but that is where I was when I signed up
They could have asked about my interests to make the email and web presence more tailored to me – Net-A-Porter does this very well.
This is great for an abandoned basket email and checks all the boxes
BUT an abandoned browse email needs to be a little more subtle
In a shop, you know that a shop assistant spoke with you and helped you browse
In ecommerce, customers know (they are not stupid) but they forget
You can easily cross into the creepy factor
This hits all of the key points but
By changing the design the could more prominently feature recommended products
They ask about the experience but in reality the most important part of the experience is yet to occur
Was the product delivered when expected?
Was the product delivered in good condition?
Shipping confirmation emails are tricky
In a break from trend want to call out a good thing about this email
Gant has used their brand on the shipping confirmation sent by the shipper
This is the best news of the journey and too often ecommerce brands miss out on the good feeling
If your delivery partner is
Good – they can get some or all of the credit
Bad – you get all of the blame
You can tell when a customer is dissatisfied in a shop – online it is not so obvious
But the old rule of thumb is still true
A customer will tell 5 people about a good experience
And 25 people about a bad experience
But in today’s world it is not about how many people they tell but how willing they are to post about it on Facebook
For this email, a couple of things to think about
On-line shoppers shop on-line a lot they might not remember the transaction you are asking about so give them as many clues as possible
Brand
Product details
Product image
Be careful about over surveying – don’t be that annoying friend that is always looking for validation
Product replenishment sounds great in the abstract and is easy if you sell one or maybe just a few products.
But think about a retailor who sells hair and beauty products (clearly something I don’t know anything about)
If I buy a number of products that will al run out at different times
How do I manage the customers inbox
How do I fit this in with my other marketing materials
Offline, retention starts before the customer even enters the shop.
