About The Customer
Cuisinart is a division of the Conair Corporation and a market leader in culinary appliances, professional quality cookware, outdoor grilling, and kitchen accessories. With a mission to help consumers “Savor the Good Life®,” Cuisinart is committed to producing a wide array of innovative, functional, and top-quality products since 1971. The company was facing a significant challenge with their email marketing program, with a steep drop in deliverability rate due to mail blocks, bounces, and a blacklisted IP address. This led them to seek a more effective solution to improve their email deliverability.
The Challenge
Cuisinart, a leading culinary appliances manufacturer, was facing a significant challenge with their email marketing program. Their email deliverability rate was plummeting due to issues such as mail blocks, bounces, and a blacklisted IP address. The company was struggling to get past spam filters and reach their intended audience. According to Return Path’s Deliverability Benchmark report, approximately 15% of emails don’t reach their intended recipients due to blocks by email service providers and spam filters that scrutinize domain reputation, subscriber engagement, and content. Cuisinart's situation was even more dire, leading them to halt all email marketing activities and seek a more effective solution to improve their email deliverability.
The Solution
Cuisinart partnered with Acoustic and digital agency Whereoware to develop a comprehensive plan to improve email deliverability. The plan was executed in three steps: analyzing the current state, improving data and send health, and maintaining data and deliverability health. The team conducted an in-depth analysis of 12 months of emails, evaluating email content, database health, and domain reputation. They sent live tests of all email templates to 90+ applications, devices, and platforms for spam and deliverability testing. Whereoware also reviewed Cuisinart’s database and data maintenance practices. They then facilitated Cuisinart’s migration to Acoustic Campaign, for a fresh start on a new, dedicated IP address. In the second step, Whereoware developed a new database structure for Cuisinart that accommodated data from multiple systems and allowed tight control of email content and frequency preferences. They also initiated a data cleanse to identify spam traps, hard bounces, and inactive subscribers. In the final step, Whereoware helped Cuisinart maintain the health of their newly cleansed data and nurture their growing email deliverability rate. They created a master email template and implemented user-friendly opt-in and unsubscribe forms. Cuisinart can now segment their subscribers into distinct audiences to offer greater personalization, encouraging higher engagement and boosting open rates.

Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.
