To start the Taco Bell Xbox campaign, we wanted to educate the customers about the app launch first, to push app downloads and build hype for the campaign. This was followed by engagement campaigns to enroll the customers into the contest and push repeat orders. Based on our insights, we sent out Digital+SMS based communications.
“We knew we couldn't scale without having a centralized CRM system. Now with Xeno in the picture, we have been able to integrate all of our data at one place and analyse our performance better at both brand and group level. Moreover, better customer understanding & running personalised communication has been an icing on top. We already see some amazing results coming in & we can't wait to scale this even further.”

Also to launch its new fragrances, Rituals ran campaigns in 4 specific countries targeting customers based on their recency & their propensity to spend. Since Rituals is most loved amongst women, it ran cross-sell campaigns targeting the women customers from Tommy Hilfiger & Levi’s customer database.
