“Every customer should be sent a Thank You card in this day and age. Especially as we sell Thank You cards.”
TheDogsDoodahs.com, challenger brand to Moonpig, sends every new customer a personalised thank you card in the post, shortly after their first order.
This seemingly obvious method of remarketing not only highlights the quality of the product on receipt but helps the brand differentiate from banal competitors.

The cards, which carry the strapline “a shameless piece of marketing masquerading as a Thank You card” have increased both the frequency and cost per repeat order since they were introduced. Repeat business is key in an industry where television and AdWords costs are high for a product costing £3.99 including postage.
The success of the campaign is measured across organic social media mentions, direct customer feedback and sales uplift.
