Alchemy LAB is one of the best brow and lashes studios in Dublin. The challenge for any small business is how to grow its customers in the most cost-effective way possible. Once understanding the current business setup it was clear using Mailchimps standard package (€55 a month) could generate €200-1000 worth of bookings a month. Treatments are in a 6-week cycle so bespoke 6-week rebooking emails and welcome/business journeys increase regular engagement in the business.
Welcome/Business Journeys
It’s important to have brand welcome journeys as a lot of businesses attain emails before bookings. The welcome and business journeys keep potential customers engaged in your services, increase social followers/engagement, attains more business reviews and of course bookings.
Returning Clients Journey
This complex chain of reminder emails post-initial-treatment reactivates all clients every 6 weeks. This is in line with when you would need a top-up on your service. As a result, this system gives clients reminders without a need for any other influences.
Create Successful PPC Account
There were previous attempts to use PPC however it wasn’t cost-effective. Our job was to make it work full time.
You might be familiar with our process of attaining keywords and restructuring accounts from our other case studies. Our success here was segmenting all the treatments and using bid management by profit margin. Giving different keywords (treatments) different costs per acquisition (CPA). As a result, starting from May into December, we started increasing drastically Y-on-Y growth. More details below.
The Impact
The impact of a huge PPC restructure and email automation from Q2 onwards put the business up on average around 50% up Y on Y with as much as 74% in certain months. We also played with the PPC in the months also. Mixing between high-margin treatments, higher-cost of treatments and low-cost treatments. Understanding the market and CPA as a whole really helped deliver several back-to-back record-breaking months in Q3 and Q4.
