The challenge
With most sales transactions taking place in brick and mortar stores, Brown Family Wine Group (BWFG) were experiencing a gap in their view of offline transactions. This limited understanding of their customers’ behavioural and demographic traits, coupled with a lack of visibility around cross-category purchasing trends and geographic variance created challenges both within the advertising and marketing space, but also in the strategic, end-to-end management of the consumer brand.
The mission
To use first party data to gain better insight into customers and drive real world results across marketing activity.
The solution
Create a custom journey using real-world sales data, providing an unparalleled view into customer demographic and transaction trends, identifying the right audiences to engage with across digital marketing campaigns, and impacting the broader customer experience.
To ‘find’ the consumer, Unpacked by Flybuys and Next Level Online Marketing (NLOM) designed a custom journey comprising: 'Data feeds shared by Unpacked by Flybuys (approximately 1.9M rows being shared monthly) provided BFWG with the transactional, basket and audience profiles of their shoppers. NLOM then used these feeds to build an in-depth, real time custom data visualisation dashboard for BFWG, enabling both teams to dive deep into the customer trends, behaviours and patterns across different post codes, SKU groups and audience attributes. NLOM then used these feeds to build an in-depth, real time custom data visualisation dashboard for BFWG, enabling both teams to dive deep into the customer trends, behaviours and patterns across different post codes, SKU groups and audience attributes.
Working with the procured data, Unpacked by Flybuys then set out to use it to impact campaign planning and decision making and drive strategy for BWFG. NLOM identified groups of highly engaged wine segments and leveraged these across BFWG’s brand campaigns across programmatic and social media.
