we compared CRM channel performance (summing up automated email flows and one shot emails) to analyse the overall and single performance of emails.


Here’s one key result:

Re-engage customers that abandoned the service

  • time frame considered:

19.10.2020 - 28.02.2021

19.10.2021 - 28.02.2022

  • KPIs uplift after content review and improvements:

Target: 15k
Open Rate*: from 30% to 56%
Click to Rate**: from 1,4% to 1,6%
Churn Rate***: from 25% to 18%


* number of customers who open that email

** number of customers who clicked on email button

*** number of customers who abandoned the service


ALWAYS-ON ACTIVITY: A/B TESTING THE CONTENT


during all the process of redesign the email templates I conducted a series of A/B tests on single and clustered emails to find useful content insights with the aim to improve the performance and leverage on what really the customer prefers to read and receive.


main Topics:

- test different subject line topics
- test different words order appearance in subject line
- test personalized fields that leverage on single user consumer habits
- test different elements positions in email body
- test different CTA wordings
- test static elements vs animated ones
