Strengthen existing customer relationships
At Sinebrychoff the main goal was to strenghten the existing customer relationships. At the same time, they wanted to reinforce their position as a loyal partner and the leading brewery of Finland.
As a result Sinebrychoff decided to strengthen their relationships through digital customer communication. The idea was to send their customers the kind of newsletters the customers would find useful and beneficial in their own business. To carry out the digital makeover, a set of user-friendly marketing tools was needed.
Challenges on the way to digital customer communication
Sinebrychoff started working with Liana Technologies to run their newsletter campaigns. They chose Liana Technologies since it stood out positively with its active customer care.
The layout of the newsletter was designed carefully beforehand with the principle of ”well begun is half done”. As new ideas arose the appearance still changed a couple times in the course of the project. With the professional help of Liana Technologies, Sinebrychoff’s plans were carried out accurately.
As the HTML coding of the newsletter template progressed it turned out that the strict firewall settings of Sinebrychoff were changing the layout of the template. Due to these challenges a fairly big amount of testing and verifying was needed before the template was finalized. At the end, however, the challenges were tackled and the template worked as it should. Looking back, having their own contact person throughout the entire project was a great help. After having their training session the Sinebrychoff users can now easily send out their newsletters.
Measurable results
Sinebrychoff now sends out newsletters to their customers on regular basis. The response concerning them has been great and the company has started using Liana's Email Marketing solution for internal newsletters too.
The built-in reporting features allow companies to measure the results (OR and CTR) after each delivery. Sinerychoff's newsletters have had the following results:
- At its best, the Open ratio (OR) has reached 39,3 %
- With the most successful newsletter, the Click-Through-Ratio (CTR) was 28,3 %
