- The folks at Neilsen hypothesized that the consumption of social media actually decreases email use – and they set out to prove it, breaking internet users in to four groups – three focused on varying levels of social media usage and a fourth group that did not use social media at all – then they overlayed email usage and discovered that their hypothesis was wrong. In fact, the more engaged a person was with social media the more heavily they consumed email. This intersection of highly engaged email and social media users tend to be more active online, generating reviews, recommendations and comments in forums. We refer to this segment as influencers – a term that you will hear frequently at social media marketing events.
- CSN Stores is an online discount retailer that had previously launched a referral effort for driving new members to their loyalty program which did not perform as anticipated. StrongMail identified an opportunity to socialize the effort and re-launch the program. Not only were they looking to drive participation in the loyalty program but to also drive incremental revenue through these new members. The program was conceived as follows: existing members were asked to refer their friends to the rewards program – and if their friends joined and made a subsequent purchase the existing customer would receive a 15 dollar credit to their existing rewards account – for each friend. And if they are able to drive 5 new customer purchases, another 75 dollars would be deposited resulting in up to 150 dollars to be earned.
- The results were impressive. CSN has realized a 3x lift in performance over previous attempts to launch a referral campaign. On average the program has generated 1 new member for every 1.8 invitations sent with 10% of those new members going on to complete a purchase.They saw an 80% lift in total click-throughs from email and social sharing activity, and their influencers sent 4.3 emails on average per person.
- So to wrap this up, I’d like to leave you with several tips for getting started….
