From manual communications to personalized and seamless CX

Challenge

Hand & Stone wanted to improve their customer experience by converting inconsistent, manual communications across its spas to unified brand messages. With over 600 individual spas creating their own messaging, there was a lack of brand consistency, significant manual labor by spa staff, and communications that didn't connect with the customer lifecycle. Hand & Stone wanted to transition to modern, streamlined, and consistent messaging. Achieving this goal meant navigating their franchise model and teams through technical improvements, change management, and organizational alignment.

Success hinged on unifying and clarifying their customer data (CDP) to enable personalized, highly relevant, and segmented experiences that would bring their audience into sharper focus.

Solución

Apply Digital y Bancolombia trabajaron juntos como un solo equipo para construir una plataforma con Diseño Atómico que garantizara la consistencia de su marca a nivel omnicanal, y el engagement, escalabilidad optimización a través de regiones y sectores.

Adaptándose a prácticas de seguridad altamente reguladas, el equipo aprovechó todo el potencial de Contentful para crear una biblioteca completa de assets, manteniendo un diseño consistente en todas las páginas existentes y futuras, y unificando más de 8.000 páginas de contenido en el sitio.

Apply Digital implementó las mejores prácticas de diseño composable y modular con React, aprovechando los lifecycles de sus componentes y su reutilización para su crecimiento a futuro. Los equipos también establecieron una clara gobernanza interna basada en métodos comprobados de gobernanza, permitiendo así una transición fácil y fluida para Bancolombia. 

Adicionalmente, le enseñaron al equipo cómo continuar operando y evolucionando esta plataforma. Ahora equipos menos técnicos como marketing pueden gestionar fácilmente el diseño y la publicación de contenido, utilizando Google Tag Manager para rastrear campañas y ROI – empoderándolos para entender mejor el comportamiento de sus clientes y seguir mejorando su experiencia de usuario.
