Doubling contact size with Dynamic Pop-ups

The Vita4you team initially wanted to grow their newsletter subscribers, and the most effective channel for this goal was ContactPigeon’s dynamic on-site pop-ups. Utilizing a variety of triggers provided by ContactPigeon's platform, such as "on exit - unknown visitors" and "on load - unknown visitors," the team designed pop-ups with one-time offers for all the new subscribers.

This move led to some very interesting results.

One of the greatest achievements was that the Vita4you team managed to grow its pop-up subscribers 213% YOY between 2019-2020, demonstrating why ContactPigeon's dynamic pop-ups are the most effecitve approach to grow lists. Increasing the mailing list also lead to a surge in online purchases. As a result, pop-up revenues increased by 299% in the same time period.

It’s worth mentioning that the Vita4you abandoned cart pop-ups that were activated for both unknown and known visitors, during November 2022-January 2023 brought a 12.8% conversion rate, showcasing a momentum that is preserved through time. This is a classic eCommerce remarketing technique, that boosts retention rates and maximizes customer lifetime value.

"Every person is different. Our goal is always to meet your real needs."

From the start of the Vita4you-ContactPigeon collaboration, the famous pharmacy implemented a strategy based on data-driven decisions. The primary goal of Vita4you was to create personas based on online visitor behavior, eCommerce history, product preferences, and other parameters, in order to deliver engaging interactions with its audience.

The team moved forward by segmenting the mailing list so that it could target customers with precision and accuracy. Some of the criteria that they used were based on gender, needs, and lifestyle. For example, they developed campaigns that were appealing to:

  • Men and Women
  • Mothers and Children
  • Athletes

By adjusting its content to the needs and preferences of each audience, Vita4you had a head start.
