Global Tea Hut 🍵

Overview

Global Tea Hut aimed to elevate their email marketing campaign to enhance user engagement and ensure optimal deliverability. The primary goal was to create a tranquil, community-focused experience that aligned with their serene brand identity, using strategic design and segmentation to minimize emails being marked as spam.

Objective

The primary objective was to overhaul the existing email designs to improve engagement through a more cohesive and engaging user experience across all email touchpoints. The campaign's focus was not directly on boosting sales but on enhancing the customer experience, with any increase in sales being a secondary benefit.

Target Audience

Global Tea Hut's audience spans a broad demographic interested in tea as a beverage, a means of connection, and a spiritual practice. The redesign aimed to cater to this diverse group by reflecting a calming, inclusive community vibe in every email.

Challenges

Previous campaigns lacked cohesion and were at risk of being marked as spam due to cluttered designs and inconsistent messaging.

Existing segmentation was basic, limiting the ability to tailor content effectively and engage different user groups based on their interests and behaviors.

The integration of a serene design that balanced promotional content with a community feel was crucial to avoid a sales-driven appearance.

Process

Research and Strategy:

Conducted an extensive review of existing campaigns and performance metrics to identify areas for improvement.

Developed a strategy that focused on creating a minimalistic, clean design that respected the brand’s tranquil aesthetic and community ethos.

HTML Development and Klaviyo Integration:

Converted Figma designs into responsive HTML, ensuring compatibility across a range of devices and email clients.

Implemented alt text and optimized HTML code to enhance deliverability and accessibility.

Segmentation and Personalization:

Enhanced the segmentation of the email list, introducing categories based on tea preferences, purchase behavior, and regional interests to deliver more personalized content.

Tailored email content to reflect the interests and behaviors of different segments, improving relevance and engagement.

Results

The new design and strategic content placement led to higher open and click-through rates, as well as a reduced bounce rate and lower unsubscribe rates, indicating a stronger subscriber interest.
