Long-term benefits
Opening an RESP is generally a long-term commitment that stretches up to the child’s post-secondary education. That’s why Kaleido wishes to support its subscribers throughout this project.
The objective was therefore to highlight an important event for subscribers, the birthday of the beneficiaries for whom they are saving. Generic wishes, the messages were off the table as Kaleido wanted personalized messages delivered an original way. The goal was to create a pleasant and memorable moment shared by the subscriber and beneficiary when receiving the birthday wishes.
Our mandate
Marketing automation
Meeting Kaleido’s needs meant producing an automated and personalized emailing with content altering according to the child’ age, and a customized landing page to host a video and contest.
Highlights
Kaleido prepared its birthday wishes as videos that vary according to age of the beneficiary and since it’s a birthday, the company wanted to highlight the event with a surprise: a contest to win a bookstore gift-card!
Kaleido wanted every subscriber, whether a parent, family member or friend, to experience this moment with their beneficiary. Thus, each subscriber had to be able to participate for multiple different children and several subscribers had to be able to participate for a same child.
Special cases had to be considered:
We had to establish rules to trigger an automated e-mail based on each child’s birthday. This message also had to be personalized for the child or children celebrating their birthday on the same day.
In addition, the email had to include a link to a landing page with a festive video specific to the child’s age (1 to 17 years) and the contest entry form.
We therefore put in place several elements such as:
In one year, just over 165,000 birthday wishes were e-mailed. The results are remarkable, with nothing but positive feedback from subscribers happy with the gesture:
Opening and click rates of 51.7% and 57.5% respectively.
Contest participation rate.
Video wishes viewed since the launch.
