Watashi by Shiseido—Turning Loyalty Into Sales

Shiseido sought to increase sales by sending relevant, personal offers to customers enrolled in its loyalty program.

“Our new customer data platform built on Treasure Data is fundamentally changing how we communicate with our customers. Blasting emails to everyone who tried samples or bought a particular product won’t lead to customer delight. Detecting a mood swing in each customer and changing the tone of push notifications does.” —Kenji Yoshimoto, Chief Analyst for Direct Marketing, Shiseido

Kirin: Making the Most of a Diverse Brand Portfolio

Kirin wanted to create more profitable cross-channel experiences for its many brands and nearly 100 products.

“The significance of personalized marketing was clearly confirmed by data. Those exposed to the personalized engagement were more likely to become loyal customers than those just exposed to standard campaigns.” —Naoki Nakajima, Digital Marketing, Kirin
