As an interesting case study to the importance of segmentation in email marketing, one brand considerably improved the success of its email campaigns by sending out over 130 versions of its newsletter. The brand, “HealthyPet,” which produces email and direct mail appointment reminders and educational content for over 4,000 veterinarians nationwide, launched its advanced segmentation campaign in January 2010, and has since seen its unique click rate triple, and its click-to-open rate go 2.7 times higher than a year ago. HealthyPet decided to segment its database by age of pet and tailor the content of its newsletters accordingly. The company sends six emails during the pet’s first year of life and quarterly messages thereafter. Each message is triggered by the pet’s age rather than by the calendar, which helps to smooth out the flow of outbound messages and avoid high-volume bottlenecks.
