Case Study 1: E-commerce Brand Boosts Sales with Personalized RCS Campaigns

Client Background:

An emerging e-commerce brand wanted to improve its customer engagement and boost sales during the holiday season. The brand was particularly interested in finding a more effective way to reach out to customers who had abandoned their shopping carts.

Objective:

The goal was to recover lost sales by re-engaging customers who had left items in their online shopping carts. The brand also wanted to increase overall customer engagement during the holiday season with personalized offers.

Strategy:

Proactive Digital helped the brand implement a Rich Communication Services campaign focused on cart abandonment recovery. The campaign included personalized messages that were triggered whenever a customer abandoned their cart. 

The Rich Communication Services featured rich media content, such as images of the abandoned products, and included interactive buttons that allowed customers to complete their purchase with a single tap. Additionally, the campaign included time-sensitive discount offers to encourage quick action.

Objective:

The retail chain wanted to reduce the time it took to resolve customer inquiries and improve overall customer satisfaction. The focus was on providing quick and accurate responses to common customer queries.

Strategy:

Proactive Digital developed a Rich Communication Services based customer support system for the retail chain. The system used Rich Communication Services messages to deliver interactive FAQs, troubleshooting guides, and product information directly to customers’ mobile devices. 

The RCS messages also featured quick reply buttons that allowed customers to select their issue and receive tailored responses instantly. If further assistance was needed, customers could connect with a live support agent directly through the Rich Communication Services interface.

Objective:

The firm aimed to enhance client engagement by sending real-time notifications about account activities, market updates, and personalized investment opportunities.

Proactive Digital helped the firm transition from traditional SMS notifications to RCS. The RCS notifications included rich media elements such as graphs, charts, and personalized video messages that explained complex financial data in an easy-to-understand format.
