Background
A healthy energy drink manufacturer faced challenges with low conversion rates, obtaining only 400 email signups from 20,000 monthly website visitors and spending $3 per prospect. This meant over 19,500 visitors remained anonymous, representing lost marketing opportunities.
Risks and Challenges
- High Acquisition Costs: The company was spending $1,200 monthly to drive web traffic but achieving a high average cost per prospect of $3.
- Low Conversion Rates: With only 400 signups from 20,000 visitors, the conversion rate was a mere 2%.
- Lost Opportunities: The majority of website visitors remained anonymous, leading to missed opportunities for engagement and sales.
Solution and Impact
After implementing Krateo.ai, the company identified over 9,200 emails from previously anonymous visitors within 30 days, providing additional demographic data on over 6,500 prospects. This transformation increased their prospect funnel by 2300% and reduced the average cost per prospect from $3 to just $0.37.
- Cost Reduction: By significantly increasing the number of identified prospects, Krateo.ai lowered the average cost per prospect, even when factoring in the platform’s cost.
