Challenge
Wolters Kluwer Health sought to improve the results obtained from previous holiday email campaigns for publisher Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
Solution
FulcrumTech designed an email campaign to challenge the results of Wolters Kluwer Health’s 2010 holiday campaign for Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. This process involved developing an email test plan to measure the impact of different timing for sending emails, email design, and other elements, such as subject line and call to action. The goal was to optimize email performance by varying and testing these elements, while keeping within the limitations of a holiday timeframe.
FulcrumTech also designed a dedicated landing page for subscribers who clicked through the emails. The email list was divided into segments that ensured statistical significance in the results. Three waves of the emails were sent throughout the holiday season.
Results
FulcrumTech was able to use the testing information gathered in the early waves of the emails to progressively improve performance in the subsequent waves of emails sent. Consequently, significant improvement was achieved in the overall results of the 2012 holiday campaign designed by FulcrumTech.
Overall, the holiday email campaign designed and optimized by FulcrumTech achieved a 186% return on investment (ROI).
