Dotdigital Case Study | Youngevity Featured Image

Youngevity is a leading global online health and wellness business based in California. The company previously relied on Bronto for its email marketing needs. However, as Bronto’s services were coming to an end, Youngevity found itself in need of a new solution.

Youngevity has an impressive technology stack, which includes Yotpo Reviews, Google Sheets (to manage its campaigns and contacts), and integration with Annex Cloud. Because of this, Youngevity needed a platform that could further enhance its existing assets, integrate into its existing stack, and provide guidance and support to achieve its long-term goals.

Challenge

Integrating with its existing technology stack

Youngevity needed a new platform that could help boost its return on investment (ROI) and support its global expansion. As the company offers a diverse range of products it needs a versatile platform capable of managing multiple customer journeys depending on individual email preferences and product purchases. Also, Youngevity wanted to optimize its customer journey and break down barriers that may prevent customers from making a purchase. This, in turn, would boost Youngevity’s revenue generation potential.

Youngevity was a small, but growing company with a passionate team. The company had big plans for the future and knew that it needed to invest in a platform that could help it achieve its goals. This platform needed to seamlessly integrate with Youngevity’s existing technology stack. It also required a platform that could provide team support and expert guidance to help create and execute long-term marketing plans.

Solution

Boosting revenue through abandoned browse and cart strategies

Youngevity partnered with Dotdigital’s Managed Services team to achieve its business goals. The brand’s primary goal was to increase its revenue, and with Dotdigital’s help, the company recognized two critical customer journeys that could help it achieve this objective. These journeys were the abandoned browse and abandoned cart strategies.

To implement these strategies, Youngevity first tracked user behavior on its website. With the help of Dotdigital’s team, the brand then implemented a sophisticated abandoned browse program. The program (included sent) triggered personalized emails to customers who had browsed through the website but had not made a purchase. To make the emails more effective, Youngevity used Dotdigital’s integration with Adobe Commerce (Magento) to include AI-powered product recommendations, which were tailored and personalized to each customer’s preferences. Over time, this approach enticed customers back to the Youngevity website, resulting in increased engagement and sales.

To further increase its ROI, Youngevity also implemented an abandoned cart strategy. This strategy involved sending a series of automated and personalized emails to customers who had added items to their cart but had not completed their purchase. These emails reminded customers of their abandoned items while offering incentives such as discounts or time-sensitive deals. This strategic implementation significantly increased cart recovery rates, ultimately leading to a substantial boost in overall ROI.

Thanks to the partnership with Dotdigital’s Managed Services team, Youngevity achieved its goals and grew its business. Through the brand’s persistent efforts, it created a seamless and personalized experience for its customers, resulting in increased engagement and sales.
