Re-engaging the Healthy Way: How Minifarm Achieved a 570% Increase in Email Transactions

How 6 key direct marketing initiatives transformed an unengaged database into a high-performance revenue channel in just one year.

Executive Summary

We partnered with Minifarm, a leading Romanian pharmacy chain, to revitalize their stagnant email marketing performance. When we started, email contributed only 0.62% of total transactions despite a large database. By implementing a year-long strategy focused on marketing automation, template redesign, and behavioral segmentation, we achieved a 570% increase in email-driven transactions, 74% more website traffic, and grew the subscriber base by 120%.

The Challenge

Despite having an established online presence since 2017 and a substantial subscriber list, Minifarm struggled with converting their digital audience into active customers.

  • Large but unengaged subscriber database.
  • Unusually low email contribution to total website traffic (0.27%).
  • Poor overall email performance and low opt-in rates.
  • High churn rates among existing leads and customers.
  • Inconsistent communication frequency, limited to one email per month.

Our Approach

We executed a comprehensive strategy consisting of 6 key initiatives to turn email marketing into a high-impact sales driver:

  1. Marketing Automations: Launched welcome series, abandoned cart, and browse abandonment sequences to stimulate conversions.
  2. Template Redesign: Overhauled the “product catalog” look into a personalized template with editorial content, category headers, and advice sections.
  3. Strategic Calendar: Increased frequency from 1 to 8 emails per month based on seasonality and customer preferences (e.g., skincare and baby products).
  4. Granular Segmentation: Implemented targeted communication based on product and brand preferences to increase relevance.
  5. Visitor conversion: Implemented strategic website sign-up forms offering gifts for first purchases to accelerate database growth.
  6. Systematic A/B Testing – Tested subject lines and send times to optimize open rates and better understand subscriber behavior.

The Results

A year of six key direct marketing initiatives and continuous data-driven optimization has transformed email into a high-performance sales driver for Minifarm. Here are the results:
