Taniaksiazka.pl - the largest online bookstore in Poland - was looking for new ways to connect with customers. Here’s how they partnered with Synerise and Vecton experts to engage with shoppers in all the right places.

Client

The online bookstore TaniaKsiazka.pl is one of the largest e-commerce businesses operating in northeastern Poland. On the market since 2006 operates an e-commerce stores with over 400,000 products.

Challenges

1. Effective Omnichannel Communication:

The real challenge was finding a solution that could manage in big scale, update data in real-time, and ensure consistent communication across all channels from a single platform.

2. Standing Out During Peak Shopping Periods:

Taniaksiazka.pl needed a solution that would allow it to utilize data during the Black Week period to stand out among competitors and respond in real-time to customer needs.

Selected solutions

Taniaksiazka.pl focused on extensive omnichannel campaigns aimed at clients during this project. The purpose was to both activate previous customers and to extend contact with regular shoppers via additional channels: email, sms & webpush and to encourage account registration in the store. Everyone who entered the campaign was assigned to the VIP segment for extra incentives to buy now and buy more.The activities carried out on the occasion of Black Friday 2020are one of the elements of a long-term plan to strengthen customer loyalty and retention and build a community around the Taniaksiazka.pl brand.

Cooperation

Our cooperation with Taniaksiazka.pl worked in a kind of triangle: Client> Implementation Partner> Synerise. It’s also worth highlighting that the client and partner were independent and the cooperation with them was very inspiring for Synerise. Both the partner and the client came up with interesting ideas that we implemented together by showing the market interesting solutions in ecommerce.

"“Experience, partnership and technology. These three factors allowed us to create an omnichannel, automated, and above all, effective campaign. As the results show, it was also appreciated by the customers of the Taniaksiazka.pl bookstore.”"
