ABLE Clothing Achieves 38x ROI

 

Company

 

ABLE Clothing (www.ableclothing.com) is a Nashville-based brand focused on empowering both the women who make their products and the women who wear them. They are famous for their sustainable leather bags, handmade jewelry, and the best denim jackets you’ll ever buy.

 

Objective

 

ABLE was looking for a sophisticated digital promotions solution that would help drive conversions and shopper engagement. In addition, ABLE sought a personalized promotions solution that was agile, user-friendly, and customizable to suit their unique business needs.

Problem

ABLE sought to increase shopper engagement using targeted digital promotions but lacked the ability to easily publish promotions quickly and efficiently. ABLE wanted to have the ability to launch last-minute sitewide offers, extend promotions based on real-time performance and push specific excess inventory items to certain types of visitors. The Company’s cumbersome existing internal process involving a project manager, graphic design team and IT did not allow for the type of flexibility ABLE needed. Thrive’s easy-to-launch and unique Promotions Suite that enables personalized promotional content management across all stages in the user journey was just what ABLE needed.

Process

It started with an initial discovery call where Thrive Commerce closely understood the client’s challenges and business requirements and suggested Proof of Value (POV) A/B testing. The A/B test enabled ABLE to validate the immediate conversion benefits of Smart Bar promotional content. “We had Smart Bar live on  ableclothing.com within a week, as Thrive’s implementation process was a very light lift for our team,” explains David. “From POV to actual product launch, the onboarding support provided by Thrive Commerce’s Customer Success Manager was exceptional. She provided insights into how other customers have leveraged the platform, modifying learnings to tailor recommendations to our unique needs,” states David. Thrive Commerce’s reporting analytics feature was also a game-changer for ABLE. It offered more significant insights into which promotions customers are responding to and ultimately provided the ABLE team with much needed data to inform last minute promotions marketing decisions.

Solution

Thrive Commerce’s Smart Bar delivered personalized offers to shoppers and was an instant hit with ABLE. “Smart Bar’s dynamic feature focuses on driving engagement and conversion and completely aligns with our need for internal efficiency, shopper engagement and maximizing profit margins. As Company leadership, I personally love Thrive’s ability to help us employ a very flexible promotions strategy based on our actual promotions and revenue performance without needing internal resources to execute effectively,” states David Wolfe, CEO at ABLE Clothing.

    Sports Endeavors Increases Revenue per Message by 51%

     

    Company

     

    The Sports Endeavors team has over 35 years of experience outfitting youth sports teams, players, parents, coaches, and fans worldwide. Their eCommerce brands SOCCER.COM, WorldSoccerShop, and 431 Sports offer unrivaled online merchandise from large sportswear brands such as Adidas, New Balance, Nike, PUMA, Under Armour, and more.

     

    Objective

     

    Sports Endeavors wanted to improve eCommerce conversion and customer engagement from its SMS marketing channel. Since Thrive Commerce had successfully optimized other paid marketing channels for Sports Endeavors, leveraging Thrive’s hidden offers for SMS campaigns was an easy choice.

    Challenge

    For over three years, Sports Endeavors had relied on Thrive Commerce’s intelligent Promotions Suite to drive shopper engagement, targeted promotions, and conversion rate optimization for all its brands.

    Like many eCommerce companies, Sports Endeavors’ family of brands had much more to communicate than could be included in a single SMS message. They loved their SMS platform’s ability to drive targeted traffic to their pages but lacked the ability to personalize content in an effort to maximize conversion for visitors arriving from SMS campaigns.

    Solution

    Thrive Commerce’s easy to use platform helped Sports Endeavors create and publish public and hidden landing pages with any type of targeted offer or promotion, which dramatically improved SMS marketing channel performance.

    “One of Thrive Commerce’s most unique promotions tools is Smart Pages, through which shoppers view our public and private promotions in one place. We were already maximizing organic search intent with Smart Pages for soccer.com and worldsoccershop.com. But now, we wanted to drive our SMS traffic to Smart Pages as well,” explains Juliana Young, Senior Digital Experience Manager at soccer.com.

    Process

    By supplementing their existing SMS messages with a second link for shoppers to access all coupons and deals, Sports Endeavors drove awareness of the primary SMS Offer and additional web traffic to their Deals page.

    “The SMS link to Smart Pages is easy for our customers to understand and streamlines the customer experience. As a bonus, the customer can click to add the promo code to their cart automatically,” adds Juliana.

    Additionally, by leveraging Thrive’s hidden landing pages, Sports Endeavors created a curated list of Offers for SMS channel eyes only.

     

    Results

     

    When Sports Endeavors drove SMS Subscribers to their deals page, they achieved:

    +51.4%

    Higher Revenue per Message

    +12.4%

    Higher Conversion

    +5.3%

    Higher Click Rate

    In addition to tangible ROI benefits, Thrive Commerce’s client support and promotions reporting were a real value-add.

    Easy Installation:

    After a thorough market search for promotions solutions, Sports Endeavors decided to partner with Thrive Commerce for its advanced and customer-centric digital promotions products, such as Smart Pages, Smart Bar and Smart Button. In addition, Thrive Commerce’s plug-and-play feature offered convenience and made it a cut above other solution suites.

    Engagement:

    Thrive Commerce worked as an extension of their client’s internal team and always brought great insights to meetings. While addressing complex business challenges, Thrive Commerce also went one step ahead and put together custom reporting for the maximum benefit of Sports Endeavors.

    Time Savings:

    Smart Pages not only brought all promotion information to one place but also empowered employees at soccer.com to organize and update promotions by category, which saved time and manual labor. “We have multiple team members cross-trained on the platform, so any of us can jump in and make changes,” says Juliana.

     

    Future

     

    With year-on-year benefits with Thrive Commerce, Sports Endeavors will continue partnering with the Promotions leader. “In addition to helping us increase conversion and revenue per message, we deeply value Thrive Commerce’s ability to innovate and deliver. We plan to leverage their state-of-art promotions solutions for years to come,” ends Juliana.
