Loyalty Smart Banner™: Makeup Cartel Personalizes Emails With Loyalty Banners

Loyalty updates don’t have to be boring! You can encourage your customers to take advantage of their loyalty points and rewards with Smart Banners™. Remind them what loyalty offers they have available in a way that’s impossible to miss with loyalty banners. 

In this post in our Smart Banner™ series, we will dive into the loyalty Smart Banner™ and show you how Makeup Cartel is doing it! 

A Smart Banner™ is a dynamic banner that sits at the top of all your promotional emails and automatically serves the right content at the right time to every individual user. It does this by generating personalized use cases based on rules set up in the platform. These use cases could include, but are not limited to, abandoned cart, abandoned browse, shipment tracking, loyalty, birthday, and post purchase.  

Loyalty Smart Banners™ are great for customers who don’t fit any other Smart Banner™ display criteria but have loyalty points available. 

You are almost definitely sending dedicated loyalty updates to your loyalty cohort. But outside of those special emails, are they ever reminded to take advantage of their special offers? 

While we don’t recommend sending loyalty banners ahead of banners like abandoned cart, or even shipment tracking, loyalty banners can be a great option for those that don’t meet those other criteria but have loyalty points! 

Expanding the visibility of your loyalty offers gives your customers more opportunities to take advantage of them and participate in your program further! This improves customer lifetime value. 

Makeup Cartel is doing loyalty Smart Banners™ right! 

Loyalty banners are typically a truncated version of your standard, dedicated loyalty emails. You can include points, tier info, and of course any special offers each user qualifies for. It’s all dynamic and can be personalized down to each element! 

Makeup Cartel uses first name and includes both points and tier. They also include a personalized offer to encourage their loyalty members to make a purchase.

How Beauty Brands Can Use Smart Banners™ to Boost Engagement

Beauty shoppers are some of the most engaged out there, especially for eCommerce brands. Sure, these buyers love their old favorites, but a growing percentage of them are interested in exploring new products.

That gives your brand an excellent opportunity to connect with more consumers since they are primed to want more from your company. And the best way to do that? 

Through email personalization, specifically using Smart Banners™ to drive attention and action. Here are some ways to do it. 

How Smart Banners™ drive action

Smart Banners™ are personalized displays at the top of every email you send. They present a lot of valuable real estate, especially for readers on mobile devices. So we’ve found that mainly using revenue-driving messages in your banner strategy is the perfect way to encourage your shoppers to click more often.

Our fantastic client Makeup Cartel is a perfect example. They use a six Smart Banner™ rotation with their readers. Five are directly related to driving engagement and conversions, while the sixth is for real-time shipment tracking.

Where Smart Banners™ can help you stand out is through what we like to call performative personalization. It uses data-driven insights to highlight personalized information based on shoppers’ interests and behaviors to help drive engagement. Rather than using no personalization or generic personalization for the sake of it, performative personalization helps move the needle with revenue.

Another of our wonderful beauty clients, Thrive Causemetics, has seen a 10-17% lift in revenue in emails that use Smart Banners™ for better personalization and customer experience.

Here’s a closer look at a few of the Smart Banners™ in action.

The main driver for engagement should be personalization. Beauty brands can leverage data to see customers’ preferences and buying habits and send tailored recommendations and personalized offers.

Smart Banners™ also make it easy to include user-generated ratings and reviews, which is a great way to capture attention and encourage purchase.

Another way to reach more customers is through surprise and delight. There’s nothing new about this, except now beauty brands can go all in on personalization and feature products you know your readers will love based on their customer data.

Abandoned cart and browse Smart Banners™ provide another way to drive engagement and conversions. Remind shoppers about what they’ve liked and left behind.

And you can sweeten the pot by adding discounts, free shipping, financing options, or letting loyalty members use their points for purchases.

Many beauty buyers are recurring shoppers. So why not let them know when it’s time to replenish something they’ve previously bought — and make it really simple to complete the purchase?

Smart Banners™ make it easy (and automated) to send personalized reminders on products, subscription boxes, and more. Plus, it’s another way to add to your readers’ customer experience.

Speaking of your most loyal shoppers, include them in your marketing strategy. Smart Banners™ can help reward them with access to special deals, new releases, and upcoming events. 

And since Smart Banners™ pull in real-time data, you can use them to let your customers know exactly where they stand with points and how they can use their membership benefits.  

Zembula can help beauty brands get more out of email
