INTRODUCTION

About

Camomilla Italia is an Italian retail brand specializing in apparel, bags, accessories, and shoes. The company uses Spoki to integrate WhatsApp into its customer loyalty, care, and sales strategies. This approach combines automation, personalization, and direct interaction between customers and physical stores, enhancing its WhatsApp retail marketing efforts.

THE PROBLEM

Scaling WhatsApp interactions without losing personal touch

Camomilla Italia‘s individual stores previously used WhatsApp Business to connect with customers. As customer interactions grew, managing these communications became increasingly complex for the brand. Maintaining order, speed, and continuity across all store-level WhatsApp conversations proved difficult. The company needed to scale its WhatsApp presence without losing the one-to-one relationship between customers and their local stores. There was a clear need to automate recurring communications and segment customers effectively. This would reduce manual work and increase the overall capacity to respond to inquiries. The challenge was to evolve WhatsApp from a basic communication tool into a structured, scalable channel for customer engagement.

Before
  • difficult to maintain order
  • generic broadcast lists
  • limited manual capacity
  • just a promotional channel
After
  • order, automation, measurability
  • segmentation based on dynamic data
  • increased response capacity
  • channel for loyalty and sales
THE SOLUTION

Hybrid WhatsApp strategy for personalized customer engagement

Camomilla Italia adopted Spoki to create a hybrid communication model, balancing automation with direct human interaction. Spoki centralizes campaign management, customer segmentation, and data. This allows physical stores to remain the primary point of contact for customers, ensuring personalized service. The brand ran a "Bonus Loop" campaign, distributing discount vouchers after purchases. This campaign used dynamic fields and conditional logic to personalize offers based on customer clusters, reaching 817 contacts. Camomilla Italia also launched an automated birthday message campaign. This campaign delivered personalized discount codes, again segmenting by customer cluster, achieving an 81% open rate. This birthday campaign also secured a 38% response rate. Overall interaction for this campaign was approximately 40%, showing strong customer engagement. This smart approach allows Camomilla Italia to scale its WhatsApp communications while preserving the human connection central to its customer relationships. The platform manages ticketing and customer care, providing better control over support operations.

THE RESULTS

Strong engagement and loyalty through structured WhatsApp campaigns

Camomilla Italia transformed its WhatsApp channel into a solid relationship-building tool. The platform now provides order, automation, and measurability to customer interactions. The birthday campaign showed clear engagement, achieving an 81% open rate. This shows messages are not just delivered but actively read by customers. Crucially, the campaign generated a 38% response rate. This indicates customers are actively participating in conversations, not just passively receiving messages. Overall interaction across the birthday campaign was approximately 40%. This sustained engagement helps strengthen customer loyalty. Spoki enables the company to segment customers into clusters like bronze, silver, gold, and iron. This allows for personalized messages and incentives, moving beyond generic communications. The brand now has better control over customer care, with improved tracking of ticket status, response times, and resolution rates. This structured approach positions WhatsApp as a key channel for loyalty and sales.
