The superyacht company Ocean Independence uses targeted email campaigns to provide its global network of brokers with information about its yachts. Whether they are buying or chartering, brokers receive the relevant content and promotions to help them sell the luxury boats on offer. The high demands for professional dialog in this premium segment are optimally met by the connection to the CAS genesisWorld CRM system and a flexible newsletter template.
Targeted dialog in the new corporate design
The email marketing channel plays a central role in Ocean's communication with its brokers. As part of a redesign of the corporate design, the email marketing was also to be reorganized.
The priority was to connect the email marketing to CAS genesisWorld. The CRM system was used to create and send the newsletter. While this already offered the possibility of targeted dialog, it did not, however, offer the complete range of functions of a professional email marketing solution. As a result, all newsletters were sent in text form, which did not allow for an appealing presentation of the luxury yachts.
To meet this requirement, a newsletter template in the corporate design of the company was needed. This allowed the yachts to be perfectly showcased and made it possible to create a simple and efficient newsletter.
Personalization based on CRM
Beautiful yachts, atmospheric images: the newsletter design is aligned with the look and feel of the website and offers plenty of space for exterior and interior views of the luxurious boats. This allows charter and sales brokers to get a good idea of what is on offer. The newsletters are also displayed perfectly on mobile devices. This is particularly important for the brokers, as they are on the road a lot.
Before each mailing, the target groups are selected in CAS genesisWorld based on the status and intensity of the business relationship and automatically transferred to Inxmail Professional. This enables targeted communication with brokers and end customers. For example, Ocean sends invitations to very exclusive events only to those contacts who chartered or bought a yacht in the past year.
CAS genesisWorld and Inxmail Professional
The long-standing Inxmail partner, SOL4 IT-Consulting, was on hand to help implement the email marketing solution.
