Dormant Customer Recovery Campaign: +21% reactivation and ROAS X21

Doppelgänger, with this campaign, decided to focus on a second strategic front: to recover the relationship with those customers who, although enrolled in the loyalty program, had not interacted with the brand for a long time. A segment that is often overlooked but has high potential if stimulated in the right way.

The goal was twofold: on the one hand, to to rekindle interest through a personal and direct message, on the other hand to incentivize an active return, proposing an immediate and visible benefit: access to the Gold status of the Doppelgänger loyalty program.

To do so, the company once again chose WhatsApp as its preferred channel. Using Spoki’s conversational technology, a personalized message was sent to nearly 3,000 selected customers. The simple but curated text proposed an immediate upgrade with three exclusive benefits:

• 15% fixed discount on all full-price products;
• Free shipping on all orders for the entire 2025;
• Ability to access Platinum status by participating in new brand initiatives.

The communication included a direct call-to-action, with links to explore products and locate the nearest boutique, facilitating both online purchase and return to the store.

Goals

The goal of this second campaign was to reactivate a significant portion of the inactive user base, i.e., customers who were enrolled in the loyalty program but had not made purchases or interacted with the brand for some time.

Specifically, the campaign aimed to:

• Resume contact with dormant customers through a direct and personal channel.
• Incentivize the transition from standard to Gold status in the Doppelgänger loyalty program.
• Increase the average customer value in the long run by offering exclusive benefits to returning buyers.
• Bringing some of the dormant users to physical stores, strengthening the brand’s omnichannel presidium.

Strategy

To achieve these goals, Doppelgänger activated a conversational campaign on WhatsApp leveraging the Spoki infrastructure, with a trigger message designed specifically for the selected target audience.

The following have been identified 2,992 dormant customers of the loyalty program. The initial message, personalized and consistent with the brand’s tone of voice, communicated the opportunity to become Gold customers, obtaining:

• 15% fixed discount on all full-price products;
• Free shipping on all orders for the entire 2025;
• Upgrade to Platinum membership through purchases and participation in in-app challenges.

The message included a direct call-to-action to get the immediate upgrade and receive benefits, accompanied by a link to explore the products or locate the nearest boutique.

Results and KPIs

The campaign achieved positive performance, demonstrating the possibility of reactivating dormant customers with a targeted message and a concrete offer:

• Users contacted: 2.992
• Users reactivated (response on WhatsApp): 633 → 21,15%
• Reactivated users who purchased: 70 → 11,05% of those reactivated
• Physical boutique purchases: 55.71% of customers reactivated with purchase
• Average order value: €90
• Turnover generated: €6.300
• Total investment: €300 (for 3,000 items)
• ROAS: 21x

The combination of economic incentive and direct messaging made possible a response rate of more than 20 percent and a decidedly high return on investment for a customer reactivation campaign.

Conclusions

The integration of conversational technology and omnichannel vision enabled Doppelgänger to transform two different campaigns into complementary levers of relationship, loyalty and conversion. Thanks to Spoki, the brand was able not only to increase sales during a crucial time like the 2025 Winter Sale, but also to recover dormant customers, enhancing their potential through a long-term offer and personalized communication.

In both cases, WhatsApp has confirmed itself as a strategic channel capable of:

• Activate immediate and engaging interactions;
• stimulate purchasing, both online and in boutiques;
• Generate measurable performance with high ROAS;
• Provide a direct, empathetic experience consistent with brand values.

These results solidify Doppelgänger’s brand reputation and confirm the validity of the conversational approach as a fundamental asset for relationship-oriented marketing actions. The dual experience conducted with Spoki now forms a solid basis for new initiatives, capable of reaching different audiences with precision, relevance and operational simplicity.
