Example 1
Knowing how much revenue they were able to drive from their newsletter subscriber base
this retailer was very keen to drive signups. Using Mapp Cloud to collect data and interpret
it, over time they were able to serve a banner at just the right moment before someone
was due to leave the site.
Established Electronics Retailer
This technique drove a 200% increase email sign-ups and ultimately incremental
revenue off the those email addresses

Closing tip: don’t
miss people
With the levels of segmentation now available it is really easy
to entirely miss a portion of your email subscriber base. To
avoid this figure out how to…
Create a list of people not receiving a message at least once
per week
Make sure they get one
Don’t leave that money on the table!!
