Named after its founders’ small Canadian hometown, Herschel now has retail locations worldwide—from Paris to Sydney to Hong Kong—in addition to its wholesale and ecommerce operations. Functional yet fashionable backpacks have long been Herschel’s flagship item, but its offerings have expanded over the years to include outerwear, hats, luggage and more.
With its wide range of regions, product categories and brand partnerships, Herschel needed a way to manage marketing complexity while driving revenue growth via highly personalised campaigns. The Bronto Marketing Platform’s full-featured yet intuitive, marketer-friendly solution enabled Herschel to easily deliver relevant engagements across the customer lifecycle.
At Herschel, no two emails are alike. Using Bronto’s drag-and-drop workflows, the brand’s automated campaigns span welcome series, abandoned cart messages, NPS surveys and product review requests. Herschel has also partnered with Bronto’s Advanced Customer Support (ACS) team to help guide its email strategy and execute projects like custom webforms. All together, its revenue and email performance have continued to increase year-over-year with Bronto.
Recently, Herschel adopted Bronto’s Social Bridge feature to unify its emails and paid social ads. “Social Bridge enhances the multi-channel user experience—by being able to send customers an email and for that exact cohort to then see the same messaging through our social media accounts,” Shao says. Always innovating, Herschel next plans to launch a win-back email series, a loyalty program and personalised email recommendations.
