This allows us to deliver a first class online customer experience that’s personalised to our customer based on stage in their purchase journey and by buyer type, improving efficiencies across both our sales and marketing teams. It’s just one element of the holistic lead generation and nurture strategy executed by Social Garden to improve conversion through our sales funnel.”

Supported the sales team through an automated process of communication with leads as they progressed through their purchase journey. This enabled the sales team to focus on the sale of today.
We saw that by delivering personalised content, segmented both by buyer type and by purchase journey stage, we were able to deliver open rates and click-to-open rates above industry benchmarks.
We are now moving into the second phase of the nurture strategy: implementing a testing methodology including send time of day, subject line A/B, and CTA testing. This will help gain further insights into each of the segmented JG King Homes audiences within the database, optimizing our Marketo implementation for home builders and maximizing Marketing Automation benefits.
