(Additional case studies available on request, detailing how TEF’s email strategies have driven retention and revenue for various industries.)
Xara Shilajit
For this wellness supplement brand, TEF implemented persona-based nurture flows and a habit-building email series. By tailoring content to different customer personas and educating subscribers on product usage, the campaign deepened customer engagement and encouraged repeat orders for Xara’s flagship product (Shilajit).
TEF’s retention-focused approach has delivered impressive results for a variety of DTC brands. A couple of highlighted case studies include:
Cookies by Design
TEF worked with this gourmet gifts company to overhaul their email marketing. The team deployed smart customer segmentation and mapped out holiday-specific automated flows to maximize seasonal sales. They also refreshed the email template designs – a “visual cleanup” that gave the brand’s emails a more modern, consistent look. These changes led to more cohesive branding and improved email performance during peak festive periods.
