Business Challenges • Better engage their 1.4 million database contacts and treat each customer as more than just an email address • The brand had plateaued in terms of their ability to create meaningful relationships with their customers • Prevent customer churn and drive repeat purchases Customer Benefits • Since AI is truly integrated within the SAP Emarsys Customer Engagement Retail Platform, City Beach saved time, complexities, and implementation issues compared to using a separate AI solution • AI continuously optimizes business results through personalizing engagements for each contact with relevant products in the right channel at the right time • City Beach can now predict customers who are likely to churn, make a purchase, and become inactive; they can then engage with them in real time programmatically • Only AI could help them scale their business and achieve 1:1 omnichannel engagement “The biggest win was shifting our focus from short-term ROAS [return on add spend] goals to long-term retention goals by working out customer lifetime value. This meant not just focusing on single transactions, but focusing on engagement customers with the City Beach brand over a longer lifecycle.”
