Capitalizing on Key Marketing Trends Reshaping the Industry

Since partnering with Iterable, Fabletics has transformed its CRM approach and positioned itself at the forefront of key trends shaping the retail industry:

• Rise of SMS and Push Notifications: As email inbox placement becomes more competitive, SMS and push notifications are emerging as high-impact communication channels. Fabletics leverages AI-driven channel optimization to enhance direct-to-consumer engagement while maintaining a seamless, multi-channel experience.
• AI-Driven Decision Making: With consumer expectations for personalization at an all-time high, Fabletics uses AI to analyze purchase history, browsing behavior, and engagement patterns. This data informs optimal send times and channel selection, increasing relevance and conversion rates.
• Strategic Message Suppression: To prevent over-messaging and subscriber fatigue, Fabletics employs AI-powered suppression strategies. By automatically pausing promotional messages for recent purchasers, the brand maintains engagement while reducing opt-outs and improving customer retention.
• Centralized Customer Data: A key factor in AI success is data unification. By consolidating all CRM touchpoints within Iterable, Fabletics has created a 360-degree customer view, enabling smarter decision-making and more effective omnichannel execution.

Future Innovations

Fabletics plans to expand its AI-powered marketing strategy with additional Iterable features, including Frequency Optimization, Predictive Goals, and Brand Affinity Insights. These innovations will further enhance their ability to deliver relevant content to customers while optimizing marketing resources.

“We’re just scratching the surface of what’s possible with Iterable,” Rohr said. “As AI technology continues to evolve, we’ll be able to create even more personalized, relevant experiences for our customers across all touchpoints.”

The company’s success with this approach has positioned it as a leader not only in activewear but also in the implementation of cutting-edge marketing technology.
