La mer x Custobar: a success story
La mer’s astonishing performance after implementing Custobar in 2020 is down to their strategic way of using it. The results were amazing:
- A 63% increase in repeat customer revenue, improving customer retention significantly.
- Conversion rates of 30% for both generic and automated campaigns.
- The share of email marketing in total revenue doubled, from 11.5% to 23.8%, reaching 26.2% in 2022.
- With email open rates of 36% and click-through rates of 6.5%, La mer's newsletters far outperform the industry benchmark for beauty and personal care (16.7% and 1.9% respectively, according to Mailchimp).
The makings of revenue-creating email automation
With the Custobar Customer Data Platform (CDP) and Marketing Automation system, La mer gained detailed insights into their customer profiles. That enables them to communicate with their target audiences individually across different channels.
La mer’s email marketing has been transformed. They now use Custobar’s inbuilt marketing automation for personalised communication, the likes of
- birthday emails
- messages to customer loyalty program Waves de La mer members
- welcome messages to new customers
- reactivation messages for inactive customers, and
- automated reminders for abandoned carts.
Thanks to the product feed and the fixed elements in Custobar's newsletter tool, we can create our newsletters quickly and personalise them easily. All customer data converges in the tool, which makes it much easier to address our customers individually.

La mer’s search for the right tool to overcome email marketing limitations
La mer used to rely solely on email marketing. They would send generic newsletters with the same content to all customers. That is, before integrating Custobar's Customer Data Platform (CDP) and Marketing Automation system into their Shopware online shop. With the previous tools La mer faced limitations in setting up automations, analysing customer data, and sending personalised messages.
In their search for a suitable tool for personalised customer communication, La mer realised that a standard email marketing platform was not enough. They needed a platform that could consolidate and analyse customer data in one place, and Custobar's Customer Data Platform (CDP) stood out as the right choice after thorough research and many personal recommendations.
