Case Study: Wedgewood Hotel & Spa - Email Marketing

The Client

Wedgewood Hotel & Spa, a prestigious luxury hotel located in the heart of Vancouver, Canada, is known for its exquisite service and world-class amenities. Despite its reputation and loyal customer base, Wedgewood struggled with optimizing its email marketing strategy to translate customer engagement into tangible bookings and revenue.

‍

The Task

Through constant feedback, Wedgewood Hotel & Spa was informed that their newsletter format was outdated.

• Content: Develop and curate engaging and relevant material for the target audience.
• Design: Create visually appealing and effective graphics and layouts to enhance the campaign's message, ensuring they are fully responsive across all devices.
• Campaign Schedule: Plan and organize all activities and timelines for a successful campaign.

The Solution

To address these challenges, we implemented a multi-faceted approach:

1. Comprehensive Strategy Review: We conducted an in-depth review of Wedgewood's existing email marketing strategy to identify areas for improvement.
2. List Segmentation: We implemented advanced list segmentation techniques to divide their customer base into targeted segments based on demographics, past behaviors, and preferences. This allowed for more relevant and engaging messaging.
3. Automation: We automated key aspects of their email marketing, including welcome emails, follow-up communications, and special promotions. This not only saved time but also ensured consistent and timely engagement with customers.
4. Advanced Analytics: We integrated a new email marketing platform that provided robust analytics capabilities. This allowed Wedgewood to track open and click-through rates, conversion metrics, and overall campaign performance with greater accuracy.
