The Brand’s Challenge

Influence consideration and purchase decisions of customers

Carl ZEISS serves its customers primarily via their partner stores. ZEISS has a great product and brand awareness mechanisms, but the fragmented nature of the industry made it difficult for them to influence the consideration and purchase decisions of a customer buying spectacles.  The brand was looking for a novel way to overcome this challenge, enhance consumer engagement and improve online-to-offline conversion tracking.

The Solution for Buyers

Conversational experiences to improve lead quality, conversions & engagement

ZEISS partnered with Gupshup to create interactive conversational experiences to build a first-party database. With the help of Gupshup Advertise, the brand created Click to WhatsApp Ads which enabled prospects to start a conversation from ads on Facebook and Instagram.
Customers could converse with the brand to learn more about the ongoing offers and get access to the discount coupon code redeemable at their stores. They could also find the nearest stores through chat.
The campaigns were carefully designed to reach relevant target groups, with specific objectives such as driving sales and reactivating dormant users. With a remarkable 96% retargeting success rate, the initiative ensured precise audience engagement, maximizing the conversion potential and strengthening the brand’s presence among its key demographics.
By leveraging persistent WhatsApp chat threads, the brand effectively re-engaged both converted and unconverted leads with timely, contextual follow-ups.
