Observation/Analysis/Improvements Observation: We have not completed an entire cycle yet- so tough to judge final results (sales) Great open rates, but click-through rates could be improved Techy drip performing better than standard (expected- more involvement by definition) 77.7% of start in Standard Drip and then do something making them eligible for Techy, showing engagement with pre-sales content for 2/3 of trial signups In Standard Drip Workflow: Workflow: 4668 started Standard trial, 3644 switched into Techy Trial In Techy Drip Workflow: 5,093 started Techy workflow, 78 have joined Master Current Customers list (1.53% conversion) Improvements: Should look into increasing open rates (adding fresh content) Find new ways to encourage active use via trial drip Test against control group to gage what affects active use Opportunity for improvement with Sales Campaign – better content? Better qualification process?
