Kronos Rings is a fast-growing e-commerce brand specializing in affordable yet high-quality rings. Their flagship offer—100 rings for $50—provides an unmatched deal in the jewelry market, attracting budget-conscious buyers, resellers, and fashion enthusiasts.
Despite their competitive pricing and strong product appeal, Kronos Rings faced challenges in converting website visitors into customers and retaining them for repeat purchases.

La stratégie et l'exécution (décomposition étape par étape des mesures prises) :
Pour relever ces défis, nous avons développé et mis en œuvre une stratégie d'email marketing basée sur les données et axée sur l'automatisation, la segmentation et la personnalisation.
Phase 1: Email Segmentation & List Cleaning
– Removed inactive subscribers to improve deliverability rates.
– Segmented customers based on behavior (e.g., first-time visitors, cart abandoners, repeat buyers).
Phase 2: Cart Abandonment Recovery Sequence
– Implemented a 3-step email sequence targeting abandoned carts:
– Email 1 (Reminder – Sent after 1 hour): Highlighted the 100 rings for $50 offer with urgency.
– Email 2 (Social Proof – Sent after 24 hours): Shared testimonials and user-generated content.
– Email 3 (Discount Incentive – Sent after 48 hours): Offered a limited-time 10% discount.
Phase 3: Welcome & Post-Purchase Sequences
– Created an engaging Welcome Series for new subscribers introducing the brand, best-selling rings, and an exclusive 5% off their first purchase.
– Developed a Post-Purchase Email Series encouraging repeat purchases with limited-time deals, style guides, and bundle offers.
Phase 4: Promotional & Loyalty Emails
– Sent personalized product recommendations based on purchase history.
– Launched a VIP Rewards Program, offering early access to sales and loyalty discounts for repeat customers.
Les défis et les obstacles :
1. High Initial Unsubscribe Rates: The new automated sequences initially saw a high unsubscribe rate.
- Solution : Ajuster la fréquence des courriels et affiner les lignes d'objet pour mieux répondre aux attentes des clients.
2. Deliverability Issues: Some emails landed in spam due to prior list neglect.
– Solution: Warmed up the sender domain and improved email engagement signals.
3. Discount Code Misuse: Some users repeatedly used first-time purchase discounts.
– Solution: Implemented a single-use coupon system with email verification.
