88% Reduction in Data Duplication

When Kwik Kopy Australia's marketing team reached out on Upwork, they faced a monumental challenge: unifying fragmented customer data spread across multiple franchises to effectively re-engage lapsed customers. What started as a data cleaning project evolved into a transformative overhaul of their customer lifecycle management system.

Location: Sydney, Australia

Industry: Printing Services

Challenges

The primary hurdle wasn’t just about cleaning data—it was about consolidating disparate customer information to empower targeted marketing efforts:

  • Fragmented Customer Data: With over 2.3 million contacts exported from Print Speak, the data was riddled with duplications and inconsistencies due to each franchise operating its own customer management tools.
  • Ineffective Identification of Lapsed Customers: The decentralized system made it difficult to accurately classify customers’ lifecycle stages, hindering efforts to re-engage those who had become inactive.
  • Data Inconsistencies: Customers who interacted with multiple centers had inconsistent records, leading to confusion and ineffective marketing outreach.
  • Manual Data Handling Risks: The existing manual processes were time-consuming and prone to human error, affecting both data quality and campaign effectiveness.

Strategy

What began as a straightforward data cleaning initiative evolved into a comprehensive strategy to enhance customer lifecycle management and re-engagement.

  • Developed a Custom Python Script: Created a script to clean and consolidate data from all franchises, addressing issues like missing fields, duplicates, and inconsistent formats.
  • Standardized Essential Data Fields: Established a minimum data model including first name, last name, email, company name, full address, last purchased center, customer contact type, and communication preferences.
  • Massive Data Reduction: Cleaned and deduped the contact list from 2.3 million to 266,130 unique contacts, achieving an 88% reduction in data duplication.
  • Aggregated Sales Data: Summed up key sales metrics for each unique customer to provide a comprehensive view of customer value.
  • Accurate Customer Segmentation: Classified customers into “Active,” “Lapsed,” and “Inactive” based on their purchase history and last order date.
  • Enhanced Customer Profiles: Updated records with the most recent non-sales information to ensure marketing efforts were based on the latest data.
  • Manual Upload to HubSpot: Imported the cleansed and segmented data into HubSpot, preparing for targeted re-engagement campaigns.
  • Built a HubSpot Custom App: Developed an application to sync nurtured contacts back to Print Speak, ensuring franchises had up-to-date customer information.
  • Launched Targeted Nurture Campaigns: Enabled the marketing team to enroll lapsed customers into personalized workflows, improving re-engagement rates.
