Before partnering with Optimove, UK Meds faced several marketing challenges.

Outsourced email designs incurred high costs and resulted in limited design control, impacting marketing efforts.

“We no longer have to work with an agency to design the email campaigns, which is massive. We can make those changes ourselves, which is ideal because there are many cooks, lots of voices,” Hannah said.
“Optimove Has Helped Us Maximize Our Existing Customer Base”
UK Meds leveraged Optimove’s pre-built customer groups to optimize their marketing efforts further. They utilized the best customer group as a lookalike audience on social media and targeted likely churners with enticing offers, adding significant value.
“Optimove creates pre-built groups based on defined metrics to work out who’s a registered customer, who’s a new customer, who’s likely to churn, who your best customers. We’ve used that in several different ways,” Hannah added.
“We Really Like the Abandoned Basket (Cart) Trigger”
One of the standout features for UK Meds was the abandoned basket (cart) trigger. This feature significantly contributed to recovering potential lost sales by targeting customers with timely and relevant reminders.
“Our abandoned baskets are actually increasing the number of customers we get back to us. So, they’re sent in real-time and slightly after… and we are seeing that convert customers, so we don’t have to do anything as a marketing team after that point,” she noted.
“In terms of Data, It’s Been Massive”
Optimove’s data-driven approach allowed UK Meds to make informed decisions about product choices and marketing strategies. Customer behavior insights and historical data were vital in shaping their campaigns.
“We use the CRM and the data that we have available to us to make decisions like, is this new product the right one for us?” Hannah said. “Based on the customers that we do have, will that product land well with them? Are they interested in it based on their demographic data? We use it all the time, and actually, historically, we’re able to make decisions based on previous customer behavior as well. We use it probably a lot more than we thought we would.”
“We’ve Had a Lot of Support”
The support provided by Optimove was instrumental in helping UK Meds navigate the intricacies of the platform. Training in manageable segments and assistance with data connections and HTML pieces ensured a smooth transition.
“We’ve had a lot of support along the way, so it hasn’t felt overwhelming. We’ve had training in bite-sized chunks and that’s meant that as a team we’ve slowly grown our knowledge and are now able to utilize the tool to its full potential.
