Leading U.S. Grocery Chain Drives Engagement and Growth

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

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.

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.
