The Challenge
HappyFlops had a strong brand and a loyal customer base, but its email and SMS marketing efforts weren’t performing at their full potential. Despite consistent traffic, the brand struggled with engagement, conversion, and list growth, limiting the impact of these channels.
Low Open Rates
HappyFlops was experiencing low unique open rates, meaning many subscribers were ignoring emails and SMS messages. Without engaging subject lines, optimized timing, and improved deliverability, valuable promotions and brand messages weren’t being seen.
Slow List Growth
Growing the subscriber list was not happening at the expected pace. Without strong lead capture strategies and automation in place, HappyFlops wasn’t maximizing its potential audience for future sales and engagement.
Low Conversion Rates
Even when messages were opened, conversion rates remained low. Traffic from email and SMS wasn’t consistently leading to purchases, meaning the content and call-to-action strategy needed adjustments to effectively guide customers from engagement to checkout.
Inconsistent Email & SMS Design
The visual experience across email and SMS lacked consistency, leading to a disconnected brand presence. Without a unified, recognizable design across all communication channels, brand trust and engagement weren’t optimized.

The Strategy
To overcome HappyFlops’ challenges, Blikket implemented a data-driven email and SMS strategy focused on improving engagement, growing the subscriber list, increasing conversions, and creating a more consistent brand experience.
Optimized Subject Lines and Send Times
Blikket conducted A/B testing on subject lines and send times to identify what resonated most with HappyFlops’ audience. By refining messaging and optimizing delivery timing, unique open rates increased by 528.2%.
List Growth with Better Lead Capture
To accelerate email and SMS list growth, Blikket introduced targeted popups, optimized landing pages, and automated welcome flows. These efforts led to a 503.1% increase in subscriber list size, providing HappyFlops with a larger and more engaged audience.
Segmentation and Personalized Messaging
Blikket implemented behavior-based segmentation and tailored content, ensuring customers received relevant messages. By sending abandoned cart reminders, personalized product recommendations, and exclusive offers, unique clicks increased by 180.5%, driving more traffic to HappyFlops’ site.
Conversion-Focused Automations
Blikket redesigned HappyFlops’ email and SMS automation workflows, including welcome sequences, cart recovery, and post-purchase flows. These data-backed automations improved conversion rates, directly contributing to 27% of total revenue coming from email and SMS.
Consistent and Engaging Design
A complete design overhaul ensured that email and SMS templates matched HappyFlops’ brand identity. By creating a unified and visually appealing experience across communication channels, customer trust and engagement improved, leading to stronger long-term retention.

The Result
By optimizing HappyFlops’ email and SMS marketing, Blikket achieved significant improvements in engagement, conversion rates, and revenue.
