Case Study: Building an Outbound Email Infrastructure for CWA Merchant Services (CWAMS)
Overview
I partnered with a sales agency to develop a robust outbound email infrastructure for their client, CWA Merchant Services (CWAMS). The goal was to drive substantial pipeline growth by designing and executing a targeted email campaign tailored to CWAMS’ distinct Ideal Customer Profiles (ICPs).
Project Scope
1. Multi-Faceted Email Sequences
Designed a 36-step email sequence tailored to three unique ICPs, each with distinct needs, challenges, and priorities.
Ensured each sequence was highly relevant and engaging, focusing on the specific pain points and goals of the target audience to maximize impact.
2. Data-Driven Optimization through A/B Testing
Conducted multiple A/B tests across the campaign to evaluate the effectiveness of subject lines, email copy, tonality, and calls-to-action (CTAs).
Leveraged real-time data to refine the messaging, identifying which strategies resonated most with each ICP for optimal results.
3. Scalable and Personalized Messaging
Crafted email copy that balanced personalization with scalability, enabling the campaign to address individual pain points while maintaining efficiency.
Highlighted CWAMS’ unique value propositions in ways that nurtured interest and encouraged meaningful replies, driving prospects further into the pipeline.
