+75% Increase In Conversions

Objective
As the line between mobile activity and offline action has become increasingly blurred, Urban Outfitters wanted to deepen their understanding of the consumer by considering not just in-app and web activity, but real-life preferences through location data — and use that insight to power truly relevant and helpful promotional messages.
SOLUTION
Use audience building supported by Braze’s integration with PlaceIQ’s location data to gain deeper insights into customer interests and behaviors, both online and off.
Act on those insights to send messages designed to better appeal to each recipient based on their actual lifestyle and preferences.
“Our goal is to provide better experiences for our audience in this competitive landscape. Our data enriched by PlaceIQ in Braze’s mobile messaging and testing platform has helped with this goal.”
