Tucked away in the heart of North Carolina, the U.S. National Whitewater Center, a nonprofit organization, thrives on an unwavering commitment to fostering outdoor access for all. Their mission is as grand as it is noble: to build resilient communities through the promotion of healthy and active lifestyles, environmental stewardship, and the celebration of family and civic togetherness. The Whitewater Center understands that we all share a common genetic code compelling us to explore the great outdoors and share these experiences with others. Their approach is simple yet profound: make connecting with nature compelling and accessible, and extend an open invitation to all. This is the story of how Mayple helped revolutionize their approach to email marketing, turning it into a catalyst for more profound connections with their audience.

Revolutionizing Connection: How Mayple Empowered the U.S. National Whitewater Center through Email Marketing

The U.S. National Whitewater Center is more than a recreational haven; it's a dynamic force for transformative change. By providing accessible outdoor experiences and nurturing a vibrant sense of community, Whitewater Center lives and breathes its mission. It's not just about enjoying nature; it's about inviting everyone to partake in the adventure.

What Were the Challenges:

In this adventure, Steven, the Marketing Manager at the Whitewater Center, faced two significant challenges on the marketing front. The first was a desire for automation, enabling more immediate engagement with guests once they left the Whitewater Center's embrace. The second challenge was precision: they wanted to send information that mattered, ensuring that their audience received updates that were relevant to their prior interactions. The hurdles were significant, but they were ready to tackle them head-on.

How Partnering with Mayple Helped:

The turning point arrived when the Whitewater Center joined forces with Mayple. The consultant assigned to their project was not just an expert but a game-changer. They provided insights that were not generic but tailored, not formulaic but innovative. The Mayple audit uncovered an array of tools and features within their email marketing platform that could surgically address the Whitewater Center's identified pain points.

The Expert's Approach:

  1. Understanding the Mission: The expert began by deeply understanding the Whitewater Center's unique mission, audience, and challenges, ensuring that all advice was tailored to their specific needs.
  2. Personalization with Merge Tags: Personalizing emails using merge tags made each message feel individualized, increasing engagement and response rates.
  3. Strategic Call-to-Action Buttons: Crafting a strategy that incorporated persuasive call-to-action buttons turned every email into a powerful prompt for action.
  4. A/B Testing: Implementing A/B testing allowed for data-driven decision-making, fine-tuning email content based on real audience feedback.
  5. Engagement from the Start: Recognizing the importance of engagement from the beginning, the expert recommended setting up a Welcome journey for new customers, improving open and click rates.
  6. Custom Performance Reporting: Creating a custom report tailored to the Whitewater Center's specific needs provided valuable insights into email performance, enabling informed decision-making.

This holistic approach aimed not just at short-term improvements but at equipping the Whitewater Center with the tools and knowledge for sustained success in email marketing.

Impact and Transformation:

The transformation was nothing short of extraordinary. The Whitewater Center set its sights on boosting the Open Rate and Total Clicks, and, with Mayple's guidance, they achieved spectacular results. Open Rates soared by 7.5%, and Total Clicks witnessed a phenomenal 35% increase. Beyond these metrics, clicks per unique opens increased while the number of unsubscribes dwindled, signifying the resounding success of their revamped email marketing strategy.

Conclusion:

Investing in email marketing wasn't just a choice for the Whitewater Center; it was a necessity. Email remains their most potent channel for direct communication with their core audience. With Mayple's dedicated support, they were able to refine their approach, ensuring that every email sent delivered pertinent, actionable information.

Haiti-Now

Haiti Now is a non-profit organization that seeks to give economic empowerment to girls in Haiti’s Restavek system through education and a safe environment. The organization, however, was not receiving enough money in donations to support their mission, thus leading the CEO to come to the conclusion that the issue might have to do with the website's User Experience.


My role as a UX Researcher and Designer was to optimize the website for growth so that Haiti Now could have the impact that it seeks. The website was busy, had outdated copy, and had a lot of information that had to be re-arranged in a more user-friendly manner.

Impressions

Xiaomi

The client wanted to work with top portrait photographers for their new phone campaign. This was to position themselves as the top camera phone in the industry. They had very particular requirements on the chosen photographer so finding the right person was the first challenge. The second was managing the high profile talent and the client to achieve an outcome with the content that both parties were happy with. The timeline was extremely tight, particularly for such a high profile photographer with a busy schedule. Their target was to get high PR attention.


The budget included 3 other smaller but well known photographers who also created content around the same theme. We also had a gifting portion of the campaign where I sent the phones to small semi-professional photographers to create their own portraits. This was all to create buzz in the photography industry. This all had to be done beginning to end in about a month which is very tight.
