How Ghia increased subscriber LTV by 32% with 2-way conversations via SMS

Ghia are reclaiming the word 'drinking' back from booze with their alcohol-free aperitif. On a mission to challenge the status quo, they looked to Blueprint to give their customers an experience they would never forget.

The Problem

Ghia have always challenged the status quo through their brand and product range, and wanted to do the same with their eCommerce customer experience and journey. Traditional email only offered so much in terms of 2-way conversation and an intimate relationship with their customers and pure play marketing was something that never quite felt right for the brand and mission.

Ghia wanted to take it up a notch with a direct 2-way relationship with their customers where they could chat one-to-one, help answer questions, drop tips and tricks, and solve their issues quickly. This strategy was far more about empowering customers and super fans than it was about increase revenue through blast messaging.

The Solutions

Hotline

Ghia went against a traditional customer support strategy and instead created a unique "hotline" experience for their customers. This gave customers the ability to chat one-to-one with their team if they were on the site, post-order, or anywhere in-between.

This helped Ghia build a great customer experience through being able to answer queries and offer tips and tricks on their product range. All conversations were filtered into the Blueprint conversational inbox which enabled the Ghia team to easily chat one-to-one with their audience. All conversations were synced to Shopify data making sure all information was at their fingertips. As a result, every customer Ghia had a 2-way conversation with had a 32.2% increase in LTV, and every message sent generated $2.68 in revenue.
