Nectar Sleep is a powerhouse brand that scaled from $44 million in its first year to more than $500 million in three years.

Co-Founder Scott McLeod and the team have managed to carve out a foothold in the intensely competitive “mattress-in-a-box” vertical, surpassing many popular players in the space.

To scale this quickly, Nectar needed a tool that would enable the brand to personalize on-site marketing campaigns at scale and optimize those campaigns for performance. And they needed to be able to convert more customers by reducing checkout abandonment on high-ticket items.

With ConvertFlow, Nectar has been able to:

  • Increase store conversion rate
  • Reduce checkout abandonment
  • Optimize campaign performance

The challenge

Scott and the Nectar team knew that in order to scale the business, they needed to:

  • Invest in personalization and optimization
  • Roll out new offers and test messaging quickly
  • Improve checkout abandonment on high-ticket items

For personalization, that means activating shopper data to launch the right campaigns at the right time.

And when it comes to optimization, they needed a heavy duty tool to test unlimited variants to find the best performing options for each campaign and customer segment.

But many on-site marketing tools have limited split-testing options. And they’re often disjointed—requiring separate integrations for different campaign types that don’t effectively communicate with each other.

That makes accurate personalization nearly impossible.

On top of that, Nectar was losing customers at checkout. Payment fails are more frequent for brands with high price tags. This friction can stop sales from happening at the last minute.

With the need for a large number of campaigns and split-tests—and a desire to improve conversions across the funnel, the Nectar team set out to find an easy-to-use tool they could use to spin out campaigns quickly.

"We’re constantly trying to find offers that work. Once we find a winner, we roll it out to the maximum—but we’re also always thinking about the next one. It’s important that we’re able to move fast and quickly test new ideas and messaging."

The solution

Solving for Nectar's challenges had the potential to unlock more revenue for the brand from its existing traffic. So, Scott and the team turned to ConvertFlow as a full-funnel solution for targeted campaigns.

ConvertFlow’s advanced tools let Nectar:

  • Get hyper-specific with segmentation

And the team can react to situations like payment fails with dedicated popups:

These payment fail popups show a customer other payment options so they can move forward with their purchase.

For all its campaigns, Nectar uses ConvertFlow to split-test their way to success, steadily improving conversion rates over time:
