Between November 12 and December 5, Karmaloop saw a 204% growth in revenue from Pinterest and a 419% growth in followers with socially targeted email marketing from PinMail by PinLeague.

Although Karmaloop had previously seen great success with PinLeague’s Audience Engine, they were looking for a way to grow their audience and revenue from Pinterest to an even greater amount. With PinMail, PinLeague’s socially powered email marketing tool, Karmaloop saw great success in under one month!

Setting up the Campaign

Starting with a 750,000 user email list, PinLeague found 93,600 Pinterest users and split them into 18representative cohorts:

Users divided evenly into cohort A, B, and control
Proportionally split by gender: Female (68%), Male (17%), and Unknown (15%)

There were a total of 6 sends during campaign, customized to each cohort – 2 invitations, 4 product- focused emails. Campaign ran from November 12 to December 5.

The first email invited users to follow Karmaloop on Pinterst
The following 5 sends promoted the “Top 6 Pins” from Karmaloop’s Pinterest Page
