Retail and eCommerce marketing has quickly evolved to be a data-driven field. Top retailers are consolidating, analyzing, and leveraging data from multiple sources to power personalized, targeted, and highly engaging marketing campaigns. Nathan Decker from evo.com, a popular online retailer of action sports gear and fashion apparel, will join the stage with Andrew Pearson from Windsor Circle to discuss how in a short 4 years they've been able to drive higher customer retention by integrating purchase history, product catalog, customer profile, census data, traffic acquisition source, on-site browse search behavior, cart abandonment, email engagement, and more. Since retailers are now able to automatically deliver relevant content at the optimal time in the customer lifecycle, Windsor Circle is seeing clients consistently drive 50-80% open rates and 5-25% click rates from such data-driven campaigns. In this 45-minute session, Nate and Andrew will reveal best practices, common pit-falls, and a planning methodology to prioritize content and campaign development based on the most important retention metrics.

- Events Almost every event benefits a charity. Monthly art galleries at our stores, usually featuring the artists of brand partners and sometimes including a repaint of the side of our building(s). Exhibit A, January: http://culture.evo.com/2014/12/in-progress-spacecraft-january-seattle-gallery/ http://culture.evo.com/2014/12/oil-and-water-armada-january-portland-gallery/ Exhibit B (this one coincided with a repaint of our South Wall in Seattle): http://culture.evo.com/2014/07/arts-and-crafts-mike-kershnar-element/ http://culture.evo.com/2014/09/south-wall-interview/ We also regularly host education / Shopping / Social events targeting a variety of demographics; these aim to establish evo as a community “hub” of action sports in our region(s), to draw new customers/exposure and remain relevant to evo devotees. Often these focus on safety and awareness as well. Here are a few examples: http://culture.evo.com/2014/11/wine-wax-ladies-night-she-jumps/ http://culture.evo.com/2014/02/singles-night-evo/ http://culture.evo.com/2014/03/know-the-snow-video-contest/ Athletes and Team The evo collective is a team of athletes and other influencers that we partner with (ie sponsor) to promote not only evo and the sports we represent but our core values. We get amazing content from our collective and reach a very “core” audience. It’s a great way to invest in building the sports we represent and increasing our relevance: http://culture.evo.com/2015/01/core-values-respect-kimmy-fasani/ http://culture.evo.com/2015/01/core-values-balanced-ambition-eric-pollard/ http://culture.evo.com/2011/04/nimbus-independent-webisode-en-route-approach/ Giveaways http://culture.evo.com/2013/10/win-icelantic-skis-and-a-trip-to-denver/ http://culture.evo.com/2012/02/winter-x-games-the-north-face-takes-evo-our-contest-winners-to-aspen/ http://culture.evo.com/2012/11/win-evos-super-ultimate-armada-skis-trip-to-mammoth-mountain/ evoTrip These are amazing, cultivated experiences where we host small groups to ski in exotic destinations. Though a limited few can go, it is an aspirational cornerstone weaved throughout our marketing mix. Some of the social media content we get from travelers who go is amazing. http://culture.evo.com/2014/04/33-reasons-go-evotrip-chile/ http://culture.evo.com/2013/05/2014-evotrip-japan-book-now-save-500/
- The customer lifecycle for evo is similar to that of many online retailers. Before we set out to build a good email retention program, we sat down to map out our customer lifecycle. Here is what we found: First, we use six primary channels to get customers to evo.com. We have a physical store in Seattle, and that does create a lot of cross-channel customers for us, so I included that too. Once we get the person on our website, we use a prominent email sign-up form on all pages of the site to entice them to sign up for our email program. When people sign up for email, they are enrolled in a welcome series for new subscribers. We’ve tested the welcome emails with and without coupons, and I will talk about the results of that more later on.
