The case of Shopping In Ibiza

Shopping in Ibiza needed a tool that would allow for hyper-personalization and, additionally provide the opportunity of connecting its physical store and online shop.

With two physical stores in Ibiza, the La Sirena y Art group has been serving residents of the island as well as the thousands of tourists who visit for over 50 years. Building on their success in Ibiza, they decided to expand their horizons by launching the online store “Shopping in Ibiza”. For the past two years, they have been paying special attention to their customers, considering them first and foremost as individuals.

Customizing communications: a crucial aspect for standing out.

Iván Martínez holds the position of Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Shopping in Ibiza and is a member of the management committee. He oversees the coordination of the entire technology team, both in systems management and development, while also managing the digital marketing department.

They began collaborating with Probance while searching for solutions to recover abandoned carts. “We realized we had a sizable customer database with individuals who initiated the purchase but didn’t follow through. At the juncture, as we explored alternatives, Probance reached out to us, and everything fell into place seamlessly. They introduced us to the array of available automations and highlighted a strategic aspect for our business that we hadn’t initially considered: the ability to capitalize on trends observed in our physical store, aligning them with those from the online store to provide even more personalized offers to customers.

One tool to manage both the physical store and the online shop.

Communicating with customers from the physical store through email marketing has had an exceptional impact on Shopping in Ibiza. With a database surpassing 40 000 customers, the company faced a significant challenge: synchronizing and unifying its digital communications with customers from the physical establishments.

The physical stores accounted for 98.5% of their revenue. By leveraging the data collected during transactions in the physical store, Shopping in Ibiza successfully integrated its online and offline operations synergistically. This strategic fusion had a positive impact by providing an in-depth understanding of customer behavior and enabling the implementation of more personalized offers.

The highest level of personalization thanks to AI

Iván and his team used a tool to manually segment their database, requiring them to create a unique email for each audience. This process involved thinking, drafting, and selecting specific products for each group.

With the introduction of Probance, their approach has undergone a drastic change. Instead of creating personalized emails for each segment, they now use a single template and let the tool handle customization. Probance analyzes users’ tastes, backgrounds, and behavioral patterns, automatically adapting the email content to provide a more personalized experience for each recipient. This shift has significantly simplified and optimized the communication process, allowing the team to focus more on the overall strategy and enhance interaction with their customers.

The Customer Success follow-up: flawless attention

“Having a dedicated person for account follow-up is a real blessing.

Meetings are scheduled to provide enough time to observe changes in various automated flows. Moreover, they allow for identifying which strategies and actions work well and which ones do not, in order to make effective decisions regarding modifications.

Having an account manager to handle this follow-up is crucial, as it’s a highly proactive role. They not only address our needs but also identify areas for improvement when reviewing campaigns. More than half of the ideas come from Probance’s improvement suggestions rather than direct needs, which we greatly appreciate. We were very impressed with the design proposals from the Probance team, as they demonstrated an innovative approach and a strong commitment to the continuous improvement of our automated emails

Furthermore, in the event of a specific issue, whether through email or during an extraordinary meeting, we have addressed and resolved it. In this regard, the follow-up from our Customer Success representative is impeccable.”
