The partnership allows leading retailers to add a valuable layer of authentic visual content to email campaigns to help increase conversion rates.
Listrak’s retail email marketing solutions, powered by 360° customer insights from every touch point, are designed to engage customers and drive sales across channels. Olapic customers can tap into their curated media libraries of consumer-generated images that have been matched to specific product SKUs and select top performing images for inclusion in email campaigns to further increase campaign success.
“Olapic has demonstrated the effectiveness of using authentic consumer photos in ecommerce scenarios and we are now extending this content into one of the most important marketing tools for retailers,” said Pau Sabria, co-founder and CEO of Olapic. “Our partnership with Listrak offers retailers a new and effective way to unlock the power of visual consumer-generated content to lift conversions and engagement in yet another marketing channel.”
Companies already leveraging this partnership to insert consumer photos into shopping emails include giggle, a multichannel retailer, wholesaler and licenser of baby products.
“For most retail brands, email personalization is no longer a nice-to-have; it’s a need-to-have,” said Shawna Hausman, vice president of ecommerce and digital marketing at giggle. “Now more than ever, we see an opportunity to take things to the next level by combining customer behavior and purchase data mined by Listrak with user-generated photos we’ve collected through Olapic. We believe this will not only allow us to create stronger email and marketing campaigns, but also to forge a stronger personal connection with our customer in a way we never could before.”
James Williams, Listrak director of global channel sales, adds, “Pairing Olapic’s industry-leading technology solutions with our recommendations engine allows our merchants to take personalization to a whole new level. Having the ability to incorporate visual, user-generated content in emails is a significant benefit to both our merchants and their shoppers.”
