Challenge
Driving new audience growth and measurable purchase intent
As a challenger brand with limited social media presence and sold in high-end retail, Mizensir faced a significant hurdle of reaching affluent consumers who value premium fragrances.
Their goals were clear:
- Introduce new customers to their unique scents, using trial to deliver meaningful insights and conversions.
- Maintain exclusivity by avoiding freebie-hunters through precise targeting.
- Drive traffic to Selfridges’ physical and online stores to boost sales.
- Gather detailed insights on scent preferences to inform and enhance future marketing strategies.
With these challenges in mind, Mizensir needed a partner who could deliver a focused and effective sampling campaign that aligned with their brand’s premium positioning.
.
Solution
How SamplMatch helped Mizensir connect with premium fragrance lovers
To address these goals, Sampl designed a bespoke sampling campaign leveraging its advanced targeting and scent-matching capabilities. The strategy ensured every sample reached the perfect consumer, maximising the campaign’s impact.
Key elements of the campaign included:
- SamplMatch technology: This matched participants to one of five fragrances based on their scent preferences, ensuring relevance.
- Validating every request: Prevented freebie-seekers from accessing samples using vaidation technology, maintaining the campaign’s exclusivity.
- Strategic partnership with The Handbook: Mizensir partnered with The Handbook, a London-based luxury publisher, to target a database of high-income individuals (50% earning over £50k and 30% earning over £100k annually).
- Bespoke consumer journey: The campaign included personalised CRM emails aligned with Mizensir’s branding, a leaflet in sample packs, and targeted calls-to-action linking to Selfridges’ e-commerce platform.
.
Building an engaging journey for high-value customers
The campaign followed a structured plan to ensure maximum effectiveness:
- Targeted outreach: Solus emails introduced participants to Mizensir’s brand story and guided them through a fragrance discovery journey.
- Seamless sampling process: Approved participants received tailored fragrance samples with educational inserts about Mizensir’s craftsmanship and history.
- Engaging follow-ups: Consumers entered a communication flow post-sampling, designed to encourage product reviews and incentivise purchases with an exclusive Selfridges gift offer.
- Real-time adjustments: Sampl’s exclusion technology prevented entries from the URL being leaked to a freebie-site, ensuring that only the right consumers got a sample.
.
