Challenges

The eyewear market is dominated by large conglomerates, so De Rigo differentiate by focusing on personalised service, which the e-shotTM system makes easy for them. By building brand loyalty and providing a personal touch for both sales agents and trade customer network, De Rigo are able to stand out from the crowd. But with a number of brands, audiences and messages, getting the right messages to the right people at the right time was an operational challenge. Ensuring all segments received consistent and timely messages managed from a single source was a strategic imperative.

 

e-shot™ is quick, simple, clean, easy and manageable. Even a person that has no email marketing experience could enjoy using the system, while the look and feel of the platform is perfect for our high-end, luxury brands

This is an exceptional growth and has in no doubt been supported by the e-shot™ email platform.”
