Business Case: Worten buttons boost email gains by 178%
Worten’s newsletter is used to nurture ongoing customer engagement, loyalty and sales. Worten decided to use 8Seconds to optimize the CTR performance of its image-rich promotional email content.
In this optimization Worten wanted to better understand the effectiveness of using buttons. The marketing team created 2 creative versions for each of the 5 creative content placeholders and used the 8Seconds application to automatically generated multiple creative combinations within their newsletter. Some versions had no buttons, others had buttons on some product images. The entire campaign was mailed. Each combination was rotated showing a different version to each early e-mail opening recipient, until statistical significance was achieved and a final winner was found, and then only the winning version was show to the remainder of those recipients who then opened their mail. The final winning combination included buttons on all product images. This test resulted in 178% gain – the winning version having a 24.59% CTR and the lowest performing version having an 8.82% CTR. This optimization makes it clear that best way to motivate customers to click through to our website is by using images with buttons
“By using 8Seconds, within 72 hours we were able to validate assumptions to maximize performance of our e-mail marketing engagement strategy.” Says Daniel MOLERO, Worten’s Marketing Manager. “Real time creative optimization has the potential to dramatically improve e-mail business results with minimal cost and effort in digital speed – unlike more conventional approaches like e-panels or focus groups.”
