The Challenge
As Dashr approached the back-to-school season, they wanted to push their existing customers to purchase more dashboard spots—a feature that allows teams to track and store additional athlete data. Although their previous email campaigns performed within industry benchmarks, Dashr sought to improve engagement and conversions. The primary challenge was delivering a high-impact campaign that would stand out, drive action, and capitalize on the upcoming school season.
The Campaign
Over 2.5 weeks, Dashr launched a three-part email campaign to upsell existing customers. Each email was strategically designed to increase engagement and conversions, leveraging impactful design and strong messaging to captivate the audience.
The critical components of the campaign included:
- High-impact graphics: Emails featured bold, visually compelling images that immediately drew attention.
- Clear and concise copy: The messaging is focused on performance improvement, emphasizing the value of additional dashboard spots with a limited-time offer.
- CTA focus: Strong call-to-action buttons like “Get Started,” “Boost Your Team’s Performance,” and “Take Advantage of the Offer” were prominently displayed to drive direct clicks to the product pages.
- Multiple link types: Each email contained multiple link formats—buttons and text links—to improve accessibility and maximize engagement.
- A/B testing: Subject lines were tested to optimize open rates, ensuring each email could catch the recipient’s attention.
