Challenges Belkins Encountered

1. Client’s availability. As we’ve already mentioned, there are just 2 people on the client’s biz dev team. We had to adjust and generate 2–3 campaigns in advance, test them for a month or so, and then discuss the results with the client. Luckily, we earned the client’s trust and received the green light to test different approaches. Thus, our key takeaway here is planning, analyzing results, and tailoring campaigns on the fly.
2. Getting to the right person in 10k+ retail companies. When looking for leads in large retail chains, we had to experiment with targeting to reach out to the actual decision-maker. We tested lots of different titles and departments, including merchandising, marketing, store development, procurement, operations, sales, facilities, etc. With each iteration, we narrowed the scope and made messaging more precise. Finally, our efforts paid off, resulting in a more than 50% open rate for new customers.
