Efficient Shared Mail Results Despite a Changing Industry.

“Even though Direct Mail is hardly new, it has been largely refreshed through the core capabilities that drive many tech companies: optimized targeting, connected content, and data-driven feedback loops.”

Results

As a result of the new opportunity-ranking approach, Firstleaf reduced their matchback CPAs by over 50%. What the Firstleaf team valued the most, however, was the dialogue, creative thinking, and solution-oriented approach that SLM took to help improve Firstleaf’s direct mail strategy.

Overview

As a leading wine company and subscription service, Firstleaf takes the guesswork out of wine selection, delivering first-class wines directly to customers’ doors.

The Problem

Two years ago, industry headwinds put pressure on Firstleaf’s dual growth priorities - driving efficient returns by balancing low CPAs with high LTVs. As an existing client of Share Local Media, the SLM team heard their feedback and built a customized plan to ensure that Firstleaf saw continued success despite external factors.

Our Solution

SLM took an all-hands approach, gathering multiple internal perspectives and coordinating with Firstleaf’s team to work through the budget, targeting methods, measurement, and creative details. The shared mail team created a opportunity ranking system for market-based mailings that articulated the CPA and LTV tradeoffs of different markets and allowed Firstleaf to easily achieve their goals at different investment levels.
