The power of AI increased Rodalink Bike Store conversion rate by 252%

In early 2023, Rodalink partnered with Dotdigital to upgrade its marketing automation capabilities with a focus on tracking results with transparency and ease. When selecting Dotdigital it needed more than just an average vendor, but a partner in marketing that would provide reliable support. Through Dotdigital’s guidance, Rodalink Bike Store has achieved phenomenal growth in its marketing automation programs.

Maintaining quality campaign creation amid a tech boom

With the growth and development in marketing tech, and the wide array of features and functionalities being added to automation platforms, it was a challenge for Rodalink Bike Store to maintain marketing-leading standards in its campaigns. Without a dedicated platform support team, the brand found it difficult to navigate and capitalize on its potential.

Additionally, it also encountered the common struggle of creating engaging subject lines and creative copy for campaigns across diverse markets. Ideas often ran out, and it was challenging to determine whether the campaign content was truly relevant and interesting to the target audience.

Platform onboarding and adaptation

Once Rodalink Bike Store partnered with Dotdigital, it was able to work with the expertise of its assigned Customer Success Manager and the Support team. This support played a critical role in guiding the team along the right direction by providing valuable insights and suggestions on relevant features that could enhance its existing marketing strategies.

What’s more, with Dotdigital Rodalink could easily track campaign results and other critical metrics from its homepage dashboard view. This helped the team gather and present data for internal meetings, where dashboard details were used in weekly performance reports.

Campaign creativity using WinstonAI™️

WinstonAI helped the brand overcome creative hurdles by providing useful suggestions and options that could improve open rates and click-through rates. The team utilized WinstonAI for both subject lines and content within Dotdigital’s email builder, receiving suggestions on how to enhance overall campaign content. While WinstonAI’s recommendations were offered in English, they were simple enough to be translated into Bahasa, making the content optimized for the audience of Rodalink Indonesia.

WinstonAI also suggested incorporating customer reviews and translating them as selling points in campaigns. In the spirit of A/B testing, the brand experimented with different call-to-action (CTA) phrases in its emails, such as “Check Service Fee” and “Our Location”, based on recommendations from WinstonAI to improve CTAs.
