The challenge

iBOOD needed to automate manual email processes and personalize offers for its diverse customer base spanning across multiple markets and a wide range of products.

The strategy

Connecting product inventory and customer data, the iBOOD team used Selligent to launch automated, data-driven campaigns that delivered relevant offers to the right people.

The results

Selligent by Marigold's automation reduced manual workload, increased engagement, and gave the iBOOD marketing team greater autonomy and flexibility.

The Challenge: Introducing automation to daily deal campaigns

iBOOD (Internet’s Best Online Offer Daily) sends daily emails featuring discounts of up to 80%. Their product offering is broad, ranging from electronics to fashion all the way to kitchen and gardening. As a result, their customer base is highly diverse. With customers spread across several markets in Europe, personalization had become a major challenge.

Restocking alerts for popular items such as razor blades or clothing were a manual, time-consuming process. The team lacked the capacity to match purchase history with real-time inventory data or automate refill reminders across countries.

To scale personalization, iBOOD needed:

  • An automated way to connect purchase data with stock availability
  • A faster process for sending refill and restock alerts
  • A solution to personalize offers across markets without increasing workload

The Strategy: Connecting data and automation

Working with Selligent by Marigold, iBOOD automated its daily deal emails by connecting inventory data with customer behavior. Using Selligent’s open data architecture, the team integrated inventory data, synchronizing supply and demand. This ensured that customers received relevant offers based on product availability and purchase history.

This allowed for triggering personalized campaigns automatically, replacing manual processes with real-time targeting.

The Execution: Delivering personalized, data-driven offers

iBOOD implemented Selligent’s automation tools to create personalized email journeys that reflected each customer’s interests and real-time product inventory. Key tactics included:

  • Data integration: Inventory data was automatically imported from products featured on iBOOD’s website, activating products for campaigns as soon as stock became available.
  • Customer intelligence: Customer profiles were updated through integration with Snowplow, providing the basis for personalized offer emails.
  • Automation and journeys: Automated, data-driven customer journeys delivered dynamic offers to customers, filtered by product type and country.

The Results: Strong engagement through automation

When iBOOD connected customer and inventory data, campaign performance improved immediately.

  • 46.14% email open rate
  • 6.6% click-to-open rate
  • 84,518 personalized emails sent in the first few weeks

Connecting data and introducing automation allowed the marketing team to act with more autonomy and efficiency. They could now create data-driven campaigns independently without adding manual effort.

“We have been partners with Selligent since 2018 and they are very helpful with implementations and help you with whatever you need. They also proactively send information depending on my status. For example, in implementation a warm-up plan was provided when creating the first emails."
— Friso van der Kamp, Campaign Manager at iBood.
