The Brain Tumour Charity Success Story

Prioritizing campaigns to create an optimal
customer experience

THE CHALLENGE

Why The Brain Tumour Charity Values Frequency Capping

The Brain Tumour Charity sits at the heart of a diverse community, serving donors small and large, corporate sponsors, researchers, and of course those who live with or have had brain tumors, along with their loved ones.

The marketing team works to ensure a fantastic customer experience, but creating an optimal contact strategy often presented a problem, as the team's manual process provided poor visibility into how the frequency of sends affected individual contact saturation.

Goals

  • Prioritize more crucial communications so that the right message reaches the right subscriber at the right time
  • Gain insight into how different strategies affect the customer experience
  • Optimize donations without inducing marketing fatigue

Results

  • Considerable time savings compared to the old, clunky, piecemeal contact strategy
  • Insight into how new & expanded campaign strategies impact customer journeys
  • Optimized donations to further the charity’s cause
Sometimes you think something like this is so far away from what we’re ultimately trying to do, but it’s not. It’s right in the middle of it all.
 
Because if we engage with our customers in the right way, chances are we will optimize donations, and by doing that, we will be able to put more money into supporting those with a brain tumor and their families, but also (and really importantly) putting money into research – and that’s where we’re going to find the cure!
