The Problem

Daring wanted to build a more direct and personal relationship with their eCommerce customers than what was possible with email. The focus was less on purely marketing to customers, but more on how to solve CX issues quicker, tell the story of the brand and product range, and enable customers with tips, tricks and recipes.

Specifically, they aimed to build post-order flows to help retain customers, a subscription integration to manage their subscribers, and on site at checkout to drive better conversion on abandoned carts.

The Solutions

Automated message flow

The team at Daring used SMS to build a personal post-order flow. This included order confirmation and dispatch updates to help solve CX issues quickly, and a feedback request to gain insight into what their customers were thinking about their product. They also sent a custom replenishment message to remind customers how easy it is to reorder in one-click.

With this flow in place, Daring drove a 35.6% reply rate from customers and an LTV increase of 71% for all customers they had a 2-way conversation with. Daring are now building their eCommerce strategy around engaging customers in authentic dialogue via SMS.

All of Daring's conversations were easily filtered into the Blueprint conversational inbox and their Zendesk Helpdesk to make it easy to reply and serve these customers.

Subscription Integration

A key part of Daring's eCommerce focus is their subscription customers and optimising churn and insights for that customer cohort. Daring easily integrated Blueprint into their ReCharge subscription to enable customers to easily skip or delay their upcoming order through SMS.

Daring also activated a post-order check-in message for any new subscribers to help proactively solve any issues, help with tips and tricks to get more from their order, and build one-to-one feedback and insights from their audience.
