Black Friday
The company wanted to take advantage of Fresh Relevance’s functionality to boost their Black Friday marketing.
The company used Fresh Relevance’s dynamic banners SmartBlocks to show customers new arrivals filtered by gender, in addition to an Instagram feed. To maximize the impact, they added a personal touch to their recovery emails by highlighting brands that the customer is most interested in.
The Black Friday emails included the carted or browsed brand in the subject line and offered shopping inspiration by presenting personalized Black Friday product recommendations. They also adapted their messaging to reflect their Black Friday sale.
The results speak for themselves. The cart and browse Black Friday layouts with dynamic content raised an additional 5% and 2.8% sales respectively, when compared to their standard recovery messages.

A/B testing subject lines
To test which type of personalization performs better for the company, they used Fresh Relevance to set up a long-term A/B test of dynamic versus standard subject lines. The retailer found that dynamic subject lines featuring the carted brand outperformed emails with subject lines containing name personalization by 5%. And the success didn’t stop there. During the Christmas period, dynamic subject lines containing the browsed brand outperformed subject lines with name personalization by an impressive 209%.
