USE CASE #1

Building engaging experiences with Insider’s InStory and Personalization capabilities to drive 29X ROI.

The challenge

Dover Saddlery’s digital marketing team was tasked with improving the customer’s shopping experience. As well as launching a new site, they focused on building a customer experience strategy which improved personalization, made better use of data for audience segmentation, and accelerated product discovery. Their end goal was to deliver a frictionless, personalized experience for every customer.  

As a small team, Dover Saddlery’s marketing team was challenged with bandwidth; they needed an easy way to deploy personalization.

As a small team, we appreciate Insider’s partnership and the ease-of-use of the platform. We were able to get started quickly, and couldn’t believe how easy and quick it was to launch our first InStory campaign.”

Director of Digital Marketing

The solution

Working closely with Insider’s growth experts, Dover Saddlery deployed personalization on its desktop and mobile sites. 

Insider’s personalization engine is built on top of a powerful customer data platform (CDP) enabling Dover Saddlery to better understand its audience and create segmentation strategies that better engaged its shoppers. 
To improve product discovery and engagement rates, Dover Saddlery implemented InStory—Instagram-style stories that speed up product discovery and increase engagement with full-screen, immersive stories. This simple to use tool helped the team save resources by enabling them to repurpose Instagram content for InStory, rather than wait for lengthy design cycles from their internal design team.
