The Problem
True Religion, a global fashion brand with a strong presence online and offline, faced a clear challenge: while they were successful at attracting traffic and sessions, the conversion from browsing to purchase was underperforming.
At the time, only 12% of customer sessions converted into purchases. This left significant revenue on the table and revealed an opportunity to build deeper engagement with both new and existing customers.
The Solution
I partnered with True Religion to design a lifecycle marketing strategy that transformed customer engagement from generic campaigns into highly personalized, cross-channel experiences.
The focus included:
Personalized onboarding journeys for new-to-file customers, creating early brand connection.
Affinity- and activity-based segmentation, ensuring customers received content and offers relevant to their interests and behaviors.
Cross-channel alignment, creating consistency between email, mobile, and digital campaigns to reinforce brand storytelling and purchasing pathways.
This wasn’t about pushing harder for sales — it was about creating meaningful, timely interactions that naturally moved customers from browsing to buying.
The Results
The impact was measurable and significant. Within six months, True Religion saw:
Activation rates grow from 12% to 26% (more than doubling conversion from sessions to purchases).
Stronger engagement across customer segments clustered by activity and affinity.
A scalable lifecycle framework that continues to support revenue growth.
Reflection
This project showed how powerful personalization can be when coupled with data-driven segmentation. By understanding not just who customers were, but how they engaged with the brand, True Religion unlocked new growth and built a stronger foundation for long-term loyalty.
