5X email open rate after a deliverability rescue

Measured over 8 weeks

The problem

Belong Designs was facing a critical problem when we onboarded them — they were deep in the spam zone. They had an unusually large database of subscribers who had marked their emails as spam, a high bounce rate, a low click rate, and a practically non-existent open rate.

What changed

We fixed the back-end technical issues, revised their pop-up, flow, and campaign strategy, and used hyper-targeted segments through an 8-week ramp up. It took 30 days to get them back to a 50% open rate. We also found that over 90% of the subscribers who clicked spam came from the same ESP, so we used predictive analytics and advanced segmentation to clean the list of high-risk accounts and send only to their most engaged audience.

The result

By the end of the 8 weeks their conversion rate was up 4X, open rate 5X, and revenue up 160%. Six months later, revenue from email was at an all-time high and up 80% on the year.
