01 · Starting point

The Background

A health and beauty brand approached Kadima to revitalize its underutilized email marketing channel.

Although the company had a Mailchimp account, they had never sent structured campaigns or implemented automation. Their goal was to establish a strong foundation for email marketing — one capable of generating consistent, measurable revenue.

Kadima’s objective was to transform a dormant channel into a profitable revenue stream by optimizing list growth, segmentation, automation, and campaign execution.

02 · Diagnosis

The Challenge

“Untapped Potential and Fragmented Engagement”

Before Kadima’s involvement, the client’s email marketing program faced several critical issues:

  • !No active campaigns or automation sequences.
  • !Unsegmented audience with minimal engagement data.
  • !Ineffective website pop-ups with poor lead capture rates.
  • !Lack of customer lifecycle messaging and conversion tracking.

The challenge was to build a comprehensive email system from the ground up, one that could generate immediate sales impact while setting a scalable structure for long-term retention.

The Solution

“Strategic, Segmented, and Conversion-Oriented”

Kadima executed a complete email marketing overhaul focused on lifecycle optimization, audience personalization, and automated revenue generation.

1. Email Audit

  • Conducted a full Mailchimp audit to assess past campaigns, template performance, and setup gaps.
  • Identified missed opportunities in automation, design consistency, and deliverability.
  • Established baseline performance metrics for comparison and reporting.

2. Audience Segmentation

  • Divided the subscriber base by gender and age to create precise, demographic-led communication flows.
  • Personalized messaging and offers for each segment, improving open and conversion rates.
  • Used engagement data to refine lists and suppress inactive contacts for better deliverability.

3. Pop-Up Optimization

  • Redesigned on-site pop-ups with compelling offers and conversion-focused copy.
  • Timed pop-up triggers strategically (e.g., exit intent, scroll depth).
  • Integrated the pop-up system directly into Mailchimp for seamless lead flow.

4. Automation Setup

  • Implemented a full suite of email automation flows, including:
    • Welcome Flow: Introduced new subscribers with brand story and first-purchase incentives.
    • Abandoned Cart Flow: Encouraged checkout completion through personalized reminders.
    • Recommendation Flow: Suggested products based on browsing and purchase behavior.
    • Winback Flow: Targeted dormant subscribers with reactivation offers.
  • Ensured all flows followed a two-email minimum cadence for engagement consistency.

5. Promotional Campaigns

  • Designed and launched weekly promotional campaigns featuring top products, limited offers, and educational content.
  • Personalized campaigns for demographic segments, improving engagement and conversion.
  • Used A/B testing for subject lines, visuals, and send timing to continuously optimize performance.
