The challenge
- People from Belgium know Zalando but don’t buy online. Engage new customers via a word of mouth campaign and generate insights on their shopping behaviour.
The result
- 95% of the 3000 participants would recommend Zalando to friends and family
- 91% is convinced about the message “Zalando is safe and easy, and offers you a free delivery and return policy”
- 91% of the 3000 ambassadors had the intention to purchase whereas the new customers had an intention of 84%.
- Reach: 405.959 customers
- 984 new customers
- Valuable customer insights regarding their needs and interests
My responsibilities
- Ensure quality of the brochure (i.e. design, collection, copy)
- Time- budget- and stakeholder management
The things I’ve learned
- Organise weekly meetings with 3rd parties to discuss the progress
- Discuss expectations from both sides in a first meeting
- Third parties can slow you down
- Hierarchical layers can slow you down throughout the process. Take this into account
