About Sheridans Cheesemongers
Sheridans Cheesemongers provides artisan cheeses and farmhouse foods to customers in its flagship stores on South Anne Street and at Dunnes Cornelscourt, across Ireland with concession stands in Dunnes nationwide,
and through an online store. With a history spanning almost 30 years,
Sheridans Cheesemongers relies on marketing as a core part of their brand growth strategy.
Sign-Ups Without Actions
Sheridans Cheesemongers has a solid customer base, but they’ve never considered the full potential of email marketing. Despite having a sign-up box for customers to receive newsletters, Sheridans Cheesemongers sent out emails infrequently and only for seasonal campaigns. These emails never had an open rate of more than 20.47%.
“We have a newsletter sign up on the website since its launch, however the frequency of newsletters were few and far between.” — Laura Killeen, Head of Marketing, Sheridans Cheesemongers.
Stretching Resources
As with many SME businesses, Sheridans Cheesemongers has limited time and resources to allocate to marketing content and outreach. They needed a solution that helped them to share their stories, news, and promotions with their customer base to achieve excellent results while also maintaining a professional look and feel. That’s where Warbble came into the picture.
Introducing a Bespoke
Email Marketing Strategy
As with all our clients, we started by getting to know the team, products, and customers of Sheridans Cheesemongers. Their passion for cheese and artisanal products became clear immediately, and we knew we had to replicate this passion in our email marketing strategy. Sheridans Cheesemongers had been using MailChimp previously, but followed our advice and switched to Klaviyo for their email marketing.
Just under six months later, email marketing accounts for almost 10% of total revenue and continues to climb!
