Retailer Converts New Movers Into New Customers Using Omni-Channel Marketing
New Movers to New Customers
The Problem
A chain of clothing retailers, specializing in young and urban demographics, wanted to launch a more aggressive marketing campaign and acquire new customers to enroll in their loyalty program. In the past, digital-only campaigns via social media and banner ads have been launched… they resulted in a lot of clicks, but very poor conversion rates.
The Solution
Propelo Media worked with the Client and laid out several direct response marketing strategies to implement. Most retail shoppers visit because of convenience, and familiarity with the location. The strategy chosen was a Modeled New Movers program, which we knew would put our Client in the best position to win new customers settling into a new neighborhood.

New Movers Spend $9,000 within 3 Months of Their Move
First, our team identified attributes of the Client’s past responders (and also non-responders, as a control group), and used these to forecast the Client’s next likely responders. Our modeling process uses over 1,500 attributes to identify the most common traits from the past responders.
Next, we overlaid these common traits against New Mover prospects that moved into the Client’s market area. They were sorted into 10 groups of roughly equal size (deciles), based on their likelihood of response. The Client chose to mail to the Top 5 deciles (about half).
Propelo Media also enhanced the campaign with an omni-channel marketing approach by integrating direct mail, email, social media and mobile device targeting in one cohesive campaign. When the new movers received an introductory piece via direct mail, they’d receive an additional 6-7 “nudges” across the digital channels encouraging them to visit and redeem the coupon in the mail.
