The Problem

Building a DTC channel

Nutsóla wanted to build direct relationships with their customers whilst the retail outlets and farmers markets stocking their products closed during the pandemic. The team found it difficult to replicate the 1:1 interaction Nutsóla is known for using traditional email channels, and looked to SMS to facilitate more intimate engagement.

The Solutions

Building audience

To build an initial audience, Nutsóla set up a click-to-SMS pop-up on their site. Customers clicking on this received a simple welcome flow to join the brand's VIP SMS community and were offered free shipping on first orders.

The simplicity of this flow enabled Nutsóla to grow a subscriber list fast, enabling 1:1 communication with buyers and immediate ROI. By creating a seamless 1-click, opt-in process, Nutsóla were able to build their audience much quicker than a traditional pop-up or number entry field.

1:1 conversation

To facilitate 1:1 conversation with customers, Nutsóla set up a simple post-order check-in flow. This featured a personalised message from founder Adam. The tone was colloquial and explained the story behind the brand, before requesting customer feedback on their order.

This kind of conversational relationship building via SMS is almost impossible to do using traditional retention solutions like email or retargeting ads. Nutsóla were able to tell an authentic story about the brand and drive a great customer experience at the same time. This intimate level of engagement ultimately builds 'superfans' around a brand, and strengthens LTV long-term.
