About

Clutch is a customer marketing platform for B2C brands. Today, marketers struggle because they have customer data stored in many different places. This makes it difficult to know how and when to reach their customers and with what message.

Clutch offers a way to centralize this information, make sense of it, and act on it with personalized messages that lead to more purchases and increased brand loyalty.

The Clutch platform offers a variety of solutions including data management, marketing automation, loyalty, stored value, and CRM as well as mobile, email, and direct mail campaign capabilities.

Introduction

Adaptiv highlights a pivotal customer success story, demonstrating the power of its INSIGHT Platform combined with strategic marketing collaboration, resulting in a dramatic increase in lead generation and sales opportunities for Clutch.

Background

Clutch, serving six vertical markets including Retail, Hospitality, Grocery, Fuel/Convenience Stores, Consumer Packaged Goods, and Consumer Services, needed a way to identify and engage their Total Addressable Market (TAM) more effectively.

Challenge

Clutch faced the common industry challenge of how to efficiently map out their TAM, target the right buyers, and deliver personalized marketing at scale to drive engagement and growth.

The challenge Clutch faced was multifaceted. They needed to hone in on high-value prospects within their TAM, but their existing methods were falling short. They lacked the advanced analytics and targeted outreach capabilities that could yield deeper engagement with their prospects. Their marketing efforts were not sufficiently personalized or scalable, leading to low conversion rates and an inability to effectively measure campaign impact across diverse market segments.

Solution

Adaptiv responded to Clutch’s challenges by implementing its advanced INSIGHT Platform, a comprehensive tool that leverages data insights and predictive analytics to pinpoint high-value targets within a TAM. The platform integrates seamlessly into existing marketing systems, enabling Clutch to automate personalized outreach campaigns that resonate with each market segment.

By utilizing machine learning algorithms, the INSIGHT Platform analyzed Clutch’s TAM, identifying and prioritizing prospects who were most likely to convert. The collaborative effort with the Adaptiv marketing team ensured that Clutch's messaging was tailored and delivered effectively across varying channels, which significantly improved user engagement and conversion rates.

Furthermore, Adaptiv's solution offered real-time analytics that presented Clutch with clear visibility into campaign performance, allowing for rapid adjustments and optimization to ensure continued success. This strategy built a momentum of growth, attracting high-value prospects while reinforcing Clutch's position as a market leader.

INBOX Email Campaign Launch

The INBOX campaign rollout was a meticulous process that began with a pilot phase, focusing on a select group of high-potential prospects to refine messaging and delivery tactics.

Through the insights garnered from initial engagements, Clutch developed a more profound understanding of their audience's primary motivators and pain points. This allowed for a more targeted expansion phase, wherein the campaign was broadened to the wider segments identified by the INSIGHT Platform.

In the subsequent phases, Clutch witnessed a marked improvement in key performance indicators. There was a notable upsurge in open rates, click-through rates, and, critically, in the conversion rates that resulted in qualified leads. Adhering to a data-driven approach, Clutch consistently iterated on its strategies in real-time, thereby cementing its adaptive marketing framework as a cornerstone of its growth engine.

Throughout the campaign, Clutch emphasized the importance of agility in its approach. By continuously analyzing the performance data, the team could pivot quickly, phasing out underperforming content and doubling down on effective strategies. This iterative process ensured that the campaigns remained aligned with the evolving expectations and behaviors of their target market, fostering a sustainable growth trajectory for Clutch's product outreach efforts.
