STRATEGY
Primary research and data analysis revealed the kind of leadership the channel was looking for. That research helped us decide we needed to build a CRM database, and then craft an integrated campaign that encourages audience members to add themselves.
When they sign up, users self-select their market segments, which enables us to serve them relevant content that can actually help them make business decisions. And the trust we’re building with them translates into increased sales.
Creative Campaign
The “Count on Us” campaign includes breakthrough ads placed across the target audiences’ most-trusted channels (as revealed by our research). The ads are focused on assuring them that Whirlpool Corporation can solve their most pressing pain points.
DIGITAL
Once in the database, each segment receives periodic emails (once or twice a month) with thought leadership content specific to their jobs. And they clearly find them valuable — the average clickthrough rate is 9.76%, compared to the industry average of 1.9%.
THE IMPACT
The first year of the campaign garnered $2.1 million in additional product sales, directly attributable to our strategic approach and impactful creative. More than five years later, we continue to tweak the program and optimize our strategy; 2020 saw a 57% increase in leads from the preceding year, over 68% of which were deemed sales-qualified. We can’t wait to see what year 6 might bring!
