Solution

- 90 day pre-expiry renewal journey with lapsed communications schedule.
- Digital engagement check - if no email opens, workflow activated to transition to direct mail and notify mail house.

- 30:1 ROI, based on increased conversion and retention rates, relative to cost of consulting and software.
- Incredibly high open Rates (20 - 45%) and click-through rates (12 - 27%).
