An ecommerce meat and seafood delivery brand was eager to revive direct mail program performance with a new strategy.SeQuel’s proven experience with scaling ecommerce brands in the channel with a data-driven philosophy proved to be exactly what the brand was looking for in its new partner. SeQuel relaunched the protein delivery brand into mailboxes with a strategic testing approach inclusive of two creatives, a new offer, and seven new mailing lists. This new approach to direct mail drove more than $7MM in revenue, converted over 10K customers, and produced a $28 ROAS. Impressed with campaign results, the brand enthusiastically increased mail volumes for subsequent campaigns.
After a DTC sleep brand had great success with online marketing strategies, it was time to expand into offline channels for sustainable growth.The brand launched into mailboxes with SeQuel’s FaQtor Test, testing a combination of five direct mail lists, three creative packages, and one offer to identify the best performers. Results from the first campaign quickly beat the ROAS goal and proved the viability of the channel, positioning direct mail as an evergreen growth strategy. In less than 15 months, direct mail has grossed nearly 6,000 sales, $7MM in revenue, and produced a ROAS of 5x.

Project Description
Our partnership with SeQuel Response has completely transformed our digital marketing efforts, including social media marketing and direct email campaigns. They played a pivotal role in our brand expansion to the US East Coast region, helping us successfully launch our services in a new market. We tasked SeQuel Response with identifying and engaging with new prospects and customers who had not previously engaged with our brand.
Pros
SeQuel Response has significantly improved our customer acquisition cost (CAC) by 25%, opening up a new efficient marketing channel for us. They excel at listening to our feedback and adapting their strategies accordingly. Their project management skills are top-notch, always meeting deadlines and staying within budget.

One area for improvement is the initial attribution window for a campaign, which led to oversaturation of ads to the same audience. However, SeQuel Response has since focused on enhancing their email marketing campaigns through continuous iterations and testing.
