    Employer: Clear-Com

    Category: B2B

     

    Problem: Online Partner Portal was "out of sight, out of mind" for dealer network. No push notifications made corporate web portal underutilized.

     

    Solution: Developed "partner blog" unique to dealers linking to an RSS feed that aggregated weekly headline news. Helped Clear-Com stay top of mind with partners while providing deep content in digestible bites.

     

    My Contribution:

    • Developed entire news site, from concept to final output using a memorable URL, easy for dealers to remember and find.
    • Wrote all blog posts notifying dealers of key relevant content.
    • Enabled automation of RSS feed between blogsite and Mailchimp.

    Results:

    • Increased email open rate from 20% to 60%.

    • Reduced marketing team labor hours by eliminating the need to format corporate emails.
    Partner reactions:
    • "Did I tell you how useful this headline newsletter is? It's really very great to have this!!!!!"
      - Frans Van Houten, Netherlands
       
    • "I enjoy your weekly blogs, one of the very best communication vehicles I've seen. Other suppliers send out 1-2 press releases a week along with lots of internal stuff. Gets very tedious. Your blog hits a very nice balance between a variety of useful information combined with PR."     
      - Bob Snelgrove, Canada
    Staff reactions:
    • "Best Partner update I've ever seen. Great job!!"  
      - John Kowalski, Sales Director
       
    • The new online Partner newsletter is a 'Home Run!'"
