Boston – BlueConic, the leading provider of user-driven marketing in the cloud, today announced that global luxury tea brand Tea Forté has selected the company’s user-driven marketing platform to grow its business through improved customer interactions. Leveraging BlueConic’s technology, Tea Forté will take funnel optimization to the next level by adjusting customer journeys in real time to cater to each individual visitor—increasing conversion and return purchases.
Retailers today are faced with the challenge of managing multiple customer touch points in a consistent way, and often an individual’s road to conversion involves several channels. Moreover, optimizing that experience across the buying process is often cumbersome and involves bringing in the IT department to change the color of a buy button or remove unnecessary steps in the check-out process.
The BlueConic platform lets Tea Forté adjust a complete customer journey, customizing content and functionality blocks to each individual visitor without burdening IT. By delivering customers and prospective buyers the right information in the appropriate context at the most opportune time, the luxury tea brand effectively delivers relevant experiences that make customers more likely to convert and thus, drive greater revenue.
“We take pride in our mission to re-define the contemporary tea experience and interacting with our customers across channels in a personalized way is an integral part of that,” said Jan Hoorntje, CEO,Tea Forté. “The BlueConic platform allows us to deliver the most appropriate functionality and messages to those interacting with our brand and as a result drive conversion rates and grow revenue. In the first six weeks since launching BlueConic, Tea Forté has achieved a noticeable 1.4 percent increase in transaction conversions.”
“We’re pleased to be working with Tea Forté and look forward to helping them amplify their luxury brand experience and continue to improve on their key business metrics,” said Bart Heilbron, CEO, BlueConic. “The buying journey today occurs across channels — from mobile apps to websites to brick-and-mortar stores — and brands are tasked with making that journey a seamless, personalized one. Our technology takes advantage of that multi-channel buying process to drive huge improvement in conversion for our customers.”
