Summary

Retailers know that loyalty programs only work when customers stay engaged. But for one major grocery chain, email fatigue was getting in the way. With thousands of products and dozens of promotions each week, the brand struggled to deliver relevant messages without overwhelming its audience. That is, until they used CSG Xponent.

With the platform, the grocery chain orchestrated smarter journeys, suppressed redundant sends and boosted revenue through personalized, well-timed outreach.

The Customer

A leading U.S. grocery chain known for its wide selection, competitive pricing and expansive loyalty program.

The Challenge

The chain’s email strategy was stuck between two extremes: sending too many messages or missing key opportunities to connect. With tens of thousands of products and frequent promotions, they needed a way to:

  • Personalize outreach across a large customer base
  • Suppress overcommunication and redundant messages
  • Optimize campaign performance based on customer behavior

Manual processes couldn’t keep up, and engagement was suffering.

The Solution

CSG Xponent became the brand’s “air traffic control” for email. The platform:

  • Analyzed customer behavior and email interactions
  • Suppressed sends for customers who had already received multiple messages in a day or week
  • Triggered alternate messaging cadences for disengaged recipients
  • Prioritized the most relevant content based on loyalty activity and campaign performance

The chain also brought a data lake online, redesigned global customer identifiers, and began tracking point-of-sale impact from email to store and online orders.
