How Musti Group Does It

Audience Segmentation

Musti Group identified their Primary Audiences by segmenting users based on where they are in their customer journey funnel. Combining the macro-audience approach of Primary Audiences with micro-segmentation, they also created more targeted campaigns that resonate with specific customer groups.

Data Integration

By smartly integrating offline data from in-store customers with online data, they enrich the personalization of the online experience. This integration also powers their CRM, keeping customers informed about bonuses, points, and special events like pet birthdays.

Continuous Improvement

They are committed to further enhancing their personalization efforts by expanding the product finder tool to more categories, improving data integration, and exploring advanced search features.

Product Finder Tool

Musti has just launched a tool to guide their customers in finding the best products for their needs in an easy and efficient way. Their goal was to recreate the in-store experience, where customers can interact directly with knowledgeable staff.

Offline Data Integration

Musti leveraged their offline data to communicate with customers in a more personalized way. They were able to identify if a customer is a member, has bonuses available, qualifies for free shipping, their pet’s birthday was known, or what their last offline purchase was.

These are details they might not capture online but are available in their offline data. This strategy was tailored for each country. The bonus reminder example resulted in an increased revenue per user of +1.3%, and an average order value of +16.1%.

Promotional Campaigns

Musti implemented several targeted campaigns including "Get 10% off as a first-time customer" and exit intent offers, that lead to significant increases in engagement and conversion rates.

Product recommendations were moved to the top of the product detail page, to target quick browsers, and banners were added within the product flow to promote brands, the member club and offers. These were segmented into different target groups so that everyone received a personalized offer reflective of their browsing behavior and product needs.

Homepage Recommendations

Musti Group has also built in a number of Dynamic Yield recommendation widgets on their homepage. Many returning customers and previous visitors who have abandoned their carts land on the homepage when they first arrive on the website. Musti Group chose to try to convert these returning visitors by experimenting with recommendations for different audiences, based on recently viewed products, affinity profiles, and most popular products.

What’s next?

In the future, Musti Group plans to expand their Product Finder Tool to more categories so that they can better serve their customers. They will also continue to improve their offline/online data integration and explore advanced search features to further personalize customer experiences.
