How Boll and Branch uses Enterpret to transform feedback into customer loyalty and revenue
Boll & Branch is a leading luxury bedding retailer emphasizing high-quality organic materials, sustainability, and fair trade so everyone can sleep better at night.
We sat down with Matt Kuo, Senior Product Analyst, and Anna Esrov, Vice President of Customer Experience & Loyalty, to learn how they use Enterpret to provide an exceptional experience to every customer.
Pain Points: Struggling to build a complete picture of customers across multiple channels
Before Enterpret, Boll & Branch attempted to use another tool to analyze customer feedback. However, Matt found he was still spending too much time manually categorizing and reviewing feedback, the main challenges being this tool:
- Lacked advanced categorization and analytics capabilities
- Couldn't ingest qualitative feedback from surveys and focus groups
- Insights weren't easily accessible to the rest of the team
Solution: Building a complete picture of customers by connecting quantitative and qualitative feedback in Enterpret
Matt and the team chose Enterpret to replace the legacy tool with the following goals in mind:
- Centralize all customer interactions: Enterpret quantified a gold mine of qualitative feedback that Boll & Branch had previously struggled to analyze. Unifying the quantitative and qualitative gave the team a single source of truth for customer feedback.
- Quickly categorized feedback: Enterpret's taxonomy helped Matt and his team quickly unlock a deeper, more nuanced understanding of customers' needs. Feedback in Enterpret was automatically organized so the team could analyze it based on business needs.
- Establish company-wide access to insights: Enterpret could help customer insights become more accessible to everyone at Boll & Branch, empowering teams to act on feedback.
Matt shared, “Boll & Branch takes pride in being a data-driven company. Enterpret is helping us unlock a new way to combine quantitative and qualitative data to efficiently and accurately understand our customers. With Enterpret, understanding our customers is just a click away; we get deep insights, valuable context, and a complete view of our customers.
Results: Driving exceptional customer experiences and growth with Enterpret insights
Over the last year, the team has leveraged Enterpret to deliver better customer experiences while maintaining a healthy focus on growing the business.
Achieving 20% growth during the holiday season
Enterpret helped Boll & Branch analyze spending behaviors and results from the 2022 holiday season to prepare for the 2023 holiday season. The team used Enterpret to identify which promotions drove the most confusion and determine which promotions helped incentivize larger orders. Matt shared, "Enterpret helped us achieve 20% growth during our holiday season by identifying spikes in confusion and pinpointing which promotions incentivized purchases."
Supporting frictionless returns to retain 1/5 of return revenue
When the Boll & Branch team started using Loop to manage returns, the team used Enterpret to monitor customer feedback and sentiment as they rolled out the new experience. They were particularly interested in sales returns, so they tested (and verified) a hypothesis using Enterpret that optimized for frictionless returns while still incentivizing orders after returns in a way that didn't hurt their bottom line. “Thanks to Enterpret, our new return experience allowed us to retain 1/5 of return revenue while also providing a better customer experience. “says Matt.
Elevating merchandising and maintaining brand satisfaction
Many people with allergies, sensitivities, and health issues choose Boll & Branch because of the team's commitment to using organic and non-toxic materials. Enterpret helped the merchandising team explore this theme to understand how customers reacted to existing inventory, inform future merchandising strategy, and identify a few anomalous issues with shipping. Enterpret gave the Boll & Branch team the insights they needed to maintain their commitment to organic and non-toxic bedding and ensured they were delivering optimal satisfaction.
Looking forward: Building a bespoke loyalty program for Boll & Branch customers
The Boll & Branch team is gearing up to roll out a new loyalty program led by Anna's team.
Anna shared, “We are laser-focused on giving customers more than they expect through a hospitality-first, individualized approach to drive retention and loyalty. Enterpret has allowed us to stitch together a full picture of the customer, including feedback and reviews from multiple data points. We now can super-serve our loyal customers in a way that we have never been able to before.”
The team uses Enterpret's Synced Users and Accounts functionality to connect feedback to data points, such as total revenue and feedback volume. Synced Users and Accounts is helping the team identify the most loyal customers based on factors like LTV and get a view of each individual to understand what they care about and want the most. “Synced Users and Accounts presents us with a unique opportunity to personalize interactions with high-value customers. This bespoke program will allow us to build stronger relationships with our most valued customers and give them the attention and recognition they deserve." Matt shared.
This careful attention to customer feedback highlights Boll & Branch's commitment to providing an exceptional customer experience at every touchpoint. We look forward to supporting Boll & Branch's mission as they continue to build exceptional customer experiences.
