Takeaway: Segment the audience 

Objective:  To make this email as relevant and targeted as possible by segmenting by a fan’s chosen team, and providing the fan with the most up‐to‐date, real‐time content and information.

Steps to Success: 

1. Maintained user team preference, with additional newsletter  branding.

2. Further segmented recipient database, broken down by user activity and longevity. Knowing users need for the most up‐to‐date information, they inserted a live countdown to their team’s game and scraped the NFL site the day the email is sent for up‐to‐date articles and videos, not seen by the fan before.

Determining the Cause

• Identified the profile of users who were most likely to complain. Let’s call these users “Scrubs.”

• Discovered that most Scrubs had been inactive for long periods of time until they complained.

• Removed those Scrubs from my list, and implemented list hygiene as a constant, on‐going process.
