In late 2017, home décor retailer MacKenzie-Childs found itself at a bit of a crossroads. Business was good, but the company's leadership was not content with sitting on its laurels. They wanted to build on its strong growth and sales.
Following an internal evaluation, the leadership team concluded that company needed to shift to a more data-driven, analytics-backed marketing approach in order to reach its goals. To make this data-driven approach a reality though, the marketing team knew they needed far more transparency into its customer data than they had at the time. Additionally, they wanted the power to easily and autonomously access, store, and manage customer profiles and data. With increased data access they would be able to run analytics reports and gain deeper insights into the company's customer base and business-driving product lines. Oh, and they wanted all of these things to be handled by one system that wouldn't break the bank.
Impossible, right?
Think again.
After extensive research into a variety of technologies, MacKenzie-Childs determined that the customer data platform (CDP) offered by us here at QuickPivot was the best fit for its needs. The QuickPivot CDP's ability to pull in all of MacKenzie-Childs' existing customer data and run custom-built analytics reports, along with its high benefit-cost ratio and user-friendly nature, set it apart from others in the market.
Following a brief but thorough design process, implementation of the QuickPivot CDP took place in June of 2018. And now, one year after its CDP implementation, MacKenzie-Childs has experienced immediate and sizable improvements to a number of key business metrics that its CMO, Larry Shaw, directly attributes to the data-driven insights the QuickPivot CDP helped MacKenzie-Childs uncover.
