The action

Soak&Sleep and Paperplanes partnered to trial our innovative approach to postal marketing. The activity would focus on triggering relevant, personalised and physical media to customers of Soak&Sleep who haven’t returned to the website for a prolonged period of time.

Additionally there was activity targeting customers who had recently purchased from Soak&Sleep. These customers are also sent physical direct mail to encourage follow-up purchases with the overarching goal being to increase customer engagement online and to increase overall conversions.
