Emails showcase stylish outfit recommendations based on customer preferences and on-site likes, and then directs shoppers to a landing page filled with additional outfit options and styling advice from the Stylitics platform. Offering outfit and style recommendations using purchase/order data stored within Cordial increases the retailer’s ability to engage with customers post-purchase or via retargeting, resulting in more personalized experiences that increase customer loyalty, retention, and ultimately drive more revenue.

Revolve, a designer apparel and accessories retailer, is among the first retailers to launch a full suite of email campaigns using the Stylitics-Cordial partnership. Preliminary results for the abandon cart emails show an increase in orders by 4% when outfitting is included. Similarly, the inclusion of outfit recommendations in “Wear It With” emails increased orders by 6.5%. Favorited markdown emails also saw higher performance with revenue up 12% and a 31% increase in campaign revenue.

“With Stylitics’ ability to create outfit looks for items users are interested in (browsed, purchased or hearted), we are able to make our lifecycle trigger campaigns much more efficient getting subscribers’ attention,” said Lucy Zhu, Director of Retention Marketing at Revolve.
