Holiday Marketing: How One Company Blew Up Their Email List on Thanksgiving (and not in a good way)

Welcome to the second week of 2023. We made it!

Today I’m gonna share a little story with you about something that happened with one of my clients in 2022. So, this client is B2C and they sell a product that people in a particular geography are very interested in. These people come to the company website, and sometimes learn they’re not eligible for this company’s product right away. So, they fill out a HubSpot form, they go into the client’s HubSpot CRM, and they sit there for several months in some cases, waiting to find out when they’ll become eligible for the product.

This past Thanksgiving, without telling me they were going to do this (because I would have told them “don’t do this”), they sent an email blast to a few thousand of the people who were not eligible for their product. The email basically said, “Happy Thanksgiving, we’re so thankful for you.” The button in the email, the call-to-action, sent them to the company website where these people found out they still weren’t eligible for the product.

HubSpot for Consumer Services

Consumer services has consistently been adapting and pivoting since being faced with economic uncertainty, a major disruption in the global supply chain and labor shortages, and major changes in consumer behavior.

These challenges continue to face the consumer services industry, and those brands who have embraced change have flourished while those who have stayed stagnant have closed up shop or are working hard to evolve and grow as “normal” life continues to morph. As with other industries, the key to prosperity has been innovation and technology.

What challenges has your consumer business been faced with?

Using Single-Touch Attribution for Content Marketing ROI Mapping

Mapping ROI back to content isn’t easy, but it’s essential to determine the effectiveness of the content you create. With the complex marketing strategies most of us design today, models like “multi-touch” and “omni-touch” are crucial to genuinely mapping ROI to every piece of content in the buyer’s journey. These complex attribution models allow us to drill deep and get a more accurate picture of how our content influences buyers and where we may need to tighten our efforts.

But is complex always the right path? Single-touch attribution, where 100 percent of the conversion credit is given to one touch point in a buyer’s journey, can still have a place in modern marketing analytics.
