WHAT DOES MARTECH DO?
THE RENEWAL EMAIL SERIESPrologue — A Brief History of a Labor-Intensive Email Campaign
The Renewal Series consists of five code-heavy and nonresponsive email messages.
Email lists are manually pulled and individually segmented for each message.
Each email is manually deployed on a certain day of the month, requiring staff presence.
Campaign goals and objectives are not consistently measured and evaluated.
THE RENEWAL EMAIL SERIESA Call for Help
Last year, Renewal Series click-through rates became stagnant; the messages had not been updated in five years. There was a request to redesign the series in hopes of better open and click-through rates.
The IT and Marketing departments realized that this was an opportunity to streamline manual processes, and the MarTech team was formed to facilitate changes to the email campaign through collaboration.
