July, a high-end luggage brand, faced a challenge—how to convert more visitors into buyers when their product isn’t consumable and relies heavily on winning the first purchase. That’s where Instant came in.
This conversation dives deep into how July used Instant’s shopper identification tool to send more targeted emails to previously anonymous visitors—leading to a 20% lift in incremental revenue through A/B testing. The episode also unpacks the technical differences between Instant and other data-focused tools.
Key insights:
How July tested Instant’s technology: A/B testing showed 20% more revenue from email flows.
High-intent targeting: Emails are only sent to visitors showing purchase intent (e.g., cart abandonment or multiple visits).
Low setup cost: Instant is plug-and-play, with integration completed in 3 days.
Staying compliant with Google rules: Minimal email sends with a focus on intent-driven messaging ensures compliance with stricter spam guidelines.
Competing in Q4: Why tools like Instant are essential for maximizing Q4 marketing budgets.
