From Mailchimp to truly custom email marketing

Updated: Jun 16, 2023

Email marketing is essential for businesses to reach their target audience and drive engagement. That's why it's integral to have the right software that works seamlessly within your business and streamlines processes.


Our client's experience with Mailchimp highlighted the limitations of such tools and the need for a tailored solution.

The challenge: Inefficient and limited email marketing capabilities

Our client was using Mailchimp as their primary email marketing platform. However, they soon discovered that Mailchimp's one-size-fits-all approach was not meeting their needs. The tool was limited in its capabilities, had inefficient integration with their existing systems, and was unable to provide the level of personalisation they desired.


Mailchimp’s limitations became apparent when our client realised they needed a more tailored solution to effectively engage with their customer base. They found it challenging to manage their large-scale email campaigns and struggled with bulk mailing to their ever-growing list of 30,000+ users. Additionally, their call centre was overwhelmed with customer inquiries, indicating a need for improved email targeting and overall marketing efficiency.


Solution: Creating a tailored email marketing system with Azure Service Bus and Azure Functions

To address these challenges and provide our client with a comprehensive email marketing solution, we built a custom system utilising cutting-edge technologies. Our team leveraged the power of Azure Service Bus, Azure Functions, and other advanced tools to create a tailored email marketing system that seamlessly integrated with their existing infrastructure.


The new software enabled our client to personalise their email campaigns, delivering highly targeted content to their audience. By harnessing the capabilities of Azure Service Bus, we ensured smooth and efficient communication between different system components, optimising the overall workflow.


Azure Functions played a crucial role in automating various tasks, allowing our client to schedule emails at the most optimal times and minimise manual intervention.


Result: Improved efficiency, enhanced email targeting, and seamless integration

Implementing the custom email marketing system brought about significant improvements for our client. Firstly, they no longer faced the challenges of bulk mailing to their extensive user base. The new system handled the task effortlessly, ensuring every email reached its intended recipient without performance issues.


Moreover, the enhanced email targeting capabilities enabled our client to deliver personalised content to their customers. With the ability to automate and optimise their email scheduling, they are now able to send emails at optimal times, maximising their open rates and click-through rates.


Not only did our solution improve marketing efficiency, but it also had a positive impact on their call centre operations. With more relevant and targeted emails reaching their customers, the number of inquiries directed to the call centre decreased significantly. This reduction in call centre overload allowed their customer service representatives to focus on more complex queries, ultimately improving the overall customer experience.
