The Objective
To Drive Subscribers Conversion Rate through effective email marketing programs.
To trigger customer purchasing for time-bound promotional offers on various wine products.
Challenges
Customers tend to procrastinate their purchasing decisions unless they discover the “alert” factor associated with time bound deals.
Their buying behaviour can be influenced by creating dynamic contents which can depict this “alert” in a subtle way.

This dynamic timer will show the remaining time with respect to the opening time of the email.
After deal expiry, it will show a custom message in place of timer.
Strategy (Audience Training)
There were several email campaigns performed time to time. Comparison with multiple previous campaigns without a counter and targeted to similar database was considered for campaign performance. Total number of conversion (Order Numbers) was taken as a benchmark to asses overall performance result.
