EMAIL STRATEGY TEARDOWNSociety6

Email strategy teardown?

So I’m a huge fan of Society6. I’ve bought a ton of products from them in the past - mostly tapestries. Love their tapestries! But I’m also an email marketing guru (not to toot my own horn).

So I had an idea - why not combine the two? Analyze their entire email strategy from the view of a customer who knows a little bit about email.

I subscribed to their newsletter and analyzed their entire strategy over a three week span.

What I didI subscribed to their newsletter, abandoned a cart, and most importantly, purchased a tapestry of the GOAT himself (AKA Tom Brady).

What I did vs. what they did

What they didThey responded with a ton of great emails. We got triggered emails, promotional emails, and even some emails that directed us to their cool blog posts.

Steps

I’m going to break this teardown into three steps:

1.Email deep dive

2.Email strategy deep dive

3.Overview

Let’s start by taking a look at their welcome email

Welcome email

Welcome email

I’m part of the club!!!

Welcome email

10% discount already?!?

Welcome email

Hitting me with this juicy discount is a solid way to get me across the finish line early.

Welcome email

Try making this into a button. Would be a good A/B test.

Welcome email

Nice! I think I know someone who would like a Tom Brady tapestry. Easy money!

Welcome email

And an awesome way to grow your list.

Welcome email

These social links are rad!!

Welcome email

But what are these?

Welcome email

Super busy. I’m not sure what I should click on.

Welcome email

A lot of information. Try breaking it up into three emails. You already have everything you need.

Welcome email

Try doing it like this…

Welcome emailEmail 1: Thanks for joining the club and offer discount.

Welcome email

Email 2: Introduce me to your other amazing products and collections...

Welcome emailEmail 3: Follow up by nudging me towards your social links .

Since they tend to send two promotions a day, let’s do a side by side.

9:46am EST 8:01pm EST


Can you tell the difference??


No??


BOOM!!!!! Hitting us with a late night discount.


You don’t think $6 off is good enough?? Well what do you think about 30%? Now drop the mic.


But one problem. I’m an early sleeper and I just missed the deal of the century? Pretty bummed.


Time zone or location is a great way to segment your list when sending out a newsletter promotion.


This will ensure that Bostonians like me aren’t missing out on some wicked good deals.

Gives you a break from all the pillow promotions.

Very clean email providing a lot of great content.

If you couldn’t tell, I’m a tapestry guy.

Now I know some cool ways to hang my tapestry. Like using a rope for a cool design.

Now let’s dive into their order confirmation email

Order Confirmation

Order Confirmation

Can you guess what’s some of the most valuable emails???

That’s right, order confirmations.

Order Confirmation

In fact, Experian found that order confirmation emails generate around $.75 per email.

Order Confirmation

Great looking email. It has everything. You have...

Order Confirmation

… your order information. You can also manage your orders if you’d like...

Order Confirmation

… and some additional promotions. Good cross selling right there

Order Confirmation

… although I’m not really into floral phone cases.

Order Confirmation

This is a great place to include some product recommendations.

Order Confirmation

You know I like Brady and tapestries. Try selling me some sports related Boston products.

“Not so fast…” Good way to utilize preheader text. Not a lot of people use this.

Abandoned Cart

Hmm what could I be forgetting?? Ooo yeah, some super rad tapestry of the mountains

Abandoned

One click and I’m back at my cart.

And in case I forgot, here’s a picture of what’s in my cart. Nice touch

And again, not a floral phone case guy.

Now let’s move onto email strategy.

Step 2: Email strategy

▪ 21 day breakdown of their overall email strategy.

▪ I don’t want to overwhelm you, so I’m going to break the 3 weeks down week by week. Each week I’ll take a different action.

▫ Week 1: Sign up for newsletter▫ Week 2: Purchase a product▫ Week 3: Abandon a cart

▪ I’ll then analyze their overall strategy

If I haven’t bought after day 2, then I probably got my girlfriend something else for V-Day.

If you’re going to send this many emails, make each one relevant to what I’ve viewed or purchased.

Use that content to create great emails the people want to read.

Step 3: Overview

What they did well

Society6 did a lot well.

They built their email strategy on a solid foundation. They’re sending triggered emails, designing beautiful templates, and offering some killer promotions on a daily basis.

All they have to do is build on that strong foundation.

What they can improve on

Triggered emails: Just going a little further with their triggered emails. Turning their welcome and abandoned cart emails into a series.

Segmentation: This is a biggie for Society6. Segmenting based on what the reader has viewed or purchased will help them be more targeted and personal, ultimately increasing sales. Sending the same email to everyone will raise unsubscribes, and maybe even worse, cause recipients to stop opening emails. This could hurt deliverability.
