Newsletter open rate increase for My Bouddha

Increase your open rate by 295% with email segmentation

My Bouddha Boutique is a company that sells a variety of spiritual products, decor, and accessories. A company that bridges the gap between the physical and the intellectual, My Bouddha offers a wide range of products that are both functional and decorative.

My Bouddha is a client that is more mature and has a large subscriber base, so they were looking to capitalize on their assets and continue to grow. 

This industry is very cyclical, not seasonal, as customers in this industry often go through phases. They purchase according to their mood, beliefs, spiritual needs, or spiritual events.


Our initial assessment

  • We knew that effective subscriber management would be extremely important as this client’s subscriber base is huge.
  • We also had to grapple with the cyclical nature of the industry and the consumer’s life (spiritual needs, beliefs, etc.), so timing was key. A post-purchase strategy could have a major impact on AOV.
