Turning phone number collection to e- commerce sales
Di Gaspi, a popular fashion retailer in Brazil, is focusing on e-commerce growth and the development of a strong customer base. Looking to maintain the increased revenue targets, Di Gaspi wanted to expand its marketing channels beyond e-mail marketing and take advantage of its mobile audience. SMS was the ideal communication channel to strengthen the e-commerce strategy and generate new revenues. The absence of an SMS opt-in customer base and the lack of SMS marketing expertise were the main challenges for the brand.
“Upstream’s solutions and their constant support towards helping us become more successful every day were essential for our company’s online growth. Di Gaspi increases e-commerce sales and has started building a close relationship with its customers, communicating with them in a more personal way on their mobile phone.”
