Overview

Lamey Wellehan is a family-owned shoe retailer with six Maine stores and more than a century of loyal customers. Email, though, had always been an afterthought: promotions were designed ad hoc and sent on no set schedule to one undivided list.

Our First Pier team moved tens of thousands of contacts to a modern email platform and warmed the list carefully, so the new sender reputation was earned rather than inherited. Along the way we split the audience into highly engaged, at-risk, unengaged and staff segments, since each needs a different first message.

We then built a new sign-up form, a welcome series, abandonment flows and flexible templates the team could reuse. We also automated the monthly customer survey for both in-store and online shoppers, saving staff time every month.

The result is an email program that finally matches the size and goodwill of the business.
