The Austin Group, known for brands like Cable Melbourne and Perri Cutten, have revealed their enhanced partnership with SAP Emarsys, aiming to significantly improve their customer engagement and overall omnichannel experience. The collaboration is not new to the group; Gazman, another Austin Group heavyweight, has partnered with SAP Emarsys for the past four years and has seen consistent growth in email revenue, thanks to the targeted marketing content produced by SAP Emarsys.
Cable Melbourne and Perri Cutten, two of the three brands within the Austin Group, have embarked on a partnership with SAP Emarsys, renewing their commitment to customer engagement. Gazman, the group's major menswear brand, has been using SAP Emarsys' solutions for four years and has witnessed a consistent increase in email revenue across both in-store and online channels. This success is attributed to the efficient integration of customer and sales data with targeted marketing content through the SAP Emarsys platform.
The recent addition of Cable Melbourne and Perri Cutten to the SAP Emarsys platform will further enhance the Austin Group's omnichannel experience and offer robust benefits to its customers. Cable Melbourne reported some strong initial results in email customer engagement, including a rise in average open rates and click rates for like-for-like audiences.
