Unlock Sales Growth with Powerful CRM Strategies

Ready to grow your customer relationships and propel your sales to new heights? At BOLD, a robust CRM strategy is the cornerstone of any successful direct-to-consumer (DTC) growth plan for our clients. A dynamite CRM strategy is at the heart of winning customer relationships. It’s all about starting simple and building up as you go. Here's how to kick things off with a bang and keep the momentum going!

Let’s get going with the basics

Jumpstarting your successful CRM strategy starts with solid email groundwork. Here’s how to begin:

• Warm Up Your Database: Get your existing contacts excited about what you have to offer. The goal is to keep those conversations warm and transactions rolling.
• Keep It Steady: Consistent messages keep your audience hooked and looking forward to what’s next.
• Get Personal: Use what you know about your customers to send them automated campaigns tailored to different segments of your database to increase relevancy and engagement.

Key Numbers to Watch

Here’s what success looks like in numbers:

• Open Rates: Aim for open rates higher than 15%.
• Click-Through Rates (CTR): Target at least a 2% CTR.
• Unsubscribe Rates: Keep these below 0.3%.
• Increased Repeat Purchase: Enhance customer lifetime value (CLV) by encouraging repeat purchases.

Email Strategy That Packs a Punch

Create emails that make a splash:

• Tempting Offers: Start with an enticing offer, such as 10-15% off, and experiment with different promotions to see what resonates.
• Chat It Up: Write like you talk—engaging and full of life.
• Call to Action: Make it pop! Use CTAs that invite interaction, like “Join us” instead of the generic “Submit.”
• Keep It Simple: Begin with just an email address and possibly a phone number for SMS, expanding as trust builds with your audience.
• Keep Them Coming Back: As trust grows, get even more thoughtful about who likes what.

Types of Emails

Transactional Emails 

• Welcome Email: Hit 'send' the moment someone signs up. Roll out the red carpet and show them what you’re all about.
• Abandoned Cart Email: Don’t let them walk away! Remind them what they’re missing, sweeten the deal with coupons, and reinforce product benefits.
• Post-Purchase Email: After the sale, keep the conversation going by confirming their order, updating them on shipping, and inviting them back for more.

Core Marketing Emails

• Newsletter: Share the latest and greatest with everyone or the folks most interested. Always be testing to find out what works best and to find precisely the right audience.
• Promotions: Based on engagement, target the entire mailing list or specific segments. Use A/B testing to refine promotional strategies.

Boosting Your CRM

• Catch Their Eye Early: To grow your database, use homepage pop-ups, promotional landing pages, and exit-intent pop-ups.
• Spread the Word: Promote sign-up opportunities across your social media channels to expand your reach and engage more potential customers.

With these tips, your CRM strategy will keep your customers coming back and do it with a style that’s all your own. Keep it energetic, keep it simple, and always keep it real. Here’s to relationships that last and business that booms!

Amp Up Your Game

As your CRM strategy matures, you can introduce more sophisticated techniques:

• Say It With SMS: Short, sweet texts can make your customers feel right in the loop.
• More Ways to Delight: As you learn more about your customers, offer them goodies they can’t resist, like deals on items that go great together.
• Know Your Audience Even Better: Fine-tune your messages to fit what your customers like and need.
