Case Study

"I-COM came in at a critical time for ebuyer and have helped shore up our email strategy - especially in the run-up to Black Friday. Email performance in Q4 has been promising, not just from a YoY perspective and provides a strong foundation for growth in 2025."

The Challenge

ebuyer

Success in the golden quarter is essential for many technology retailers. For ebuyer, the significance of Q4 2024 was even greater, following a difficult Q4 in 2023 and under new ownership and a desire to reduce reliance on PPC to drive revenue. 

Email marketing had not been a big focus under the previous ownership, with multiple platforms being trialed, unsuccessfully, over the last few years. 

The decision had been made in 2023 to partner with Bloomreach. Ebuyer requires support to drive consistently and platform best practice.

The Approach

ebuyer

ebuyer appointed I-COM in July 2024, as they brought in a new marketing team. Working closely with the ebuyer marketing team and Bloomreach, I-COM ensured that data, promotions, processes and platform capabilities were integrated into Q4 planning. 

There were 4 focus areas: 

  • Data cleansing & segmentation
  • Introduced automations: abandon cart, abandon browse & welcome series
  • Design & CTA improvements
  • Reporting & incrementality
