Xyron, one of the worlds’ leading craft suppliers, wanted to quickly grow their Pinterest presence and engagement. With PinLeague’s socially powered email marketing tool, PinMail, Xyron saw incredible results in under one month!
Setting up the Campaign
Starting with a 62,000 user email list, PinLeague sent out a social profile submission form. We received over3,000 submissions stating the persons preference of social network from Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Tumblr. From the rest of the list, we used our mapping algorithm to map users to either Facebook or Pinterest. Get Kennected and scale your lead generation efforts on LinkedIn. The initial Xyron campaign put users into three groups: Facebook, Pinterest, and other.
The campaign ran from Nov 29 to Dec 27 with 14 messages in all. The Facebook and Pinterest users were sent network specific Xyron content, while the neither cohort received a mix. The first 4 sends had a message for each cohort, and the last two went to the entire list.
The Pinterest emails directed the user to a featured pin or board, with external links to Xyron’s Pinterest page and other Pinterest content.
The Facebook emails directed the users to like certain posts or suggested users write on Xyron’s wall to show their “love” of the products.
The neither cohort received an initial email inviting them to join Pinterest, and the rest of the messages were the same as the Pinterest cohorts.
