Encore

Requirements

Encore enjoys a tailored approach to service and prides itself on forging close relationships with their customers. As a result, Encore needed a personal approach to communicating with their customers. 

With email having an open rate of 19.36% in retail, Encore did not want their communications to be just another unread email in an overcrowded inbox. 

Solution

TextAnywhere’s service has allowed Encore to maintain a personal relationship with customers through SMS communications. 

Founder and Director, Paul Woods, prefers SMS over other communication channels as ‘it creates a more personal connection with the customer, it makes them feel valued’. Encore Fashion send 3,000 – 5,000 messages a month, usually communicating details on sales and special events for selected customers.

Project Successes

Sporting events play an important role in the fashion retail industry and with the Grand National on Encore’s door step, it was a great opportunity to showcase their products. 

Encore created an SMS campaign to highlight the special Grand National offers available within the store and used TextAnywhere’s service to communicate these to customers. Paul Woods described the campaign as a great success and saw – “an instant increase in footfall to the store”.
