Boosting Revenue with MARS’ Solutions: Tackling Abandoned Carts and Enhancing Customer Engagement
Despite attracting website visitors, a renowned skincare brand in the D2C market faced a challenge as sales didn’t match the interest, and retaining customers became a challenge.
A well-known Direct-to-Consumer skincare brand, from its inception, aimed to create a brand that delivered dependable products made with the finest ingredients. Inspired by global best practices, they sought to introduce innovative solutions in India, ensuring effective hair care without the concern of hair loss. Offering an array of products for hair, face, and body care, the D2C brand was one of the first in India to introduce hair care solutions tailored specifically for those with curly hair. Despite their extensive customer base and the trust of over 150,000 customers, they faced an ongoing challenge — retaining their customer base.
Identifying Pain Points for Strategic Solutions
Choosing to partner with MARS by SHEROES was a strategic decision that aligned with their goal of enhancing customer experiences, boosting sales, and customer retention. MARS’s expertise in addressing various aspects of business operations and driving transformation made them the ideal choice for the brand’s journey towards growth and excellence.
Through collaborative discussions, MARS’s team unveiled critical pain points hampering the brand’s growth — issues like abandoned carts, customer churn and stretched customer support resources.
🛒Abandoned Carts and Churn: Analysis revealed the impact of customers leaving their shopping carts without making a purchase, along with customers discontinuing purchases. High churn rates threatened brand reputation, while abandoned carts translated to lost revenue. Dealing with these problems was necessary to prevent potential negative word-of-mouth effects.
✂️Low Retention and Customer Disconnect: Customer attrition indicated dissatisfaction, leading to waning loyalty and brand interest. Conversely, too many customers leaving meant spending more on acquiring new customers. Establishing strong connections with customers, understanding their needs, and offering relevant products and services were essential. Failure to do so led to customers exploring other options.
🛍️Insufficient Product Information: Offering detailed descriptions and visuals was critical for building confidence and increasing purchases. Lack of information leads to trust issues for brand products.
💵Payment Issues and Customer Experience: Payment errors cause frustration and stress, eroding trust and raising concerns about financial loss. Consequently, this resulted in missed business opportunities.
Addressing these challenges was vital for enhancing customer experience and business growth. By understanding their impact and implementing practical solutions, brands build trust and keep customers engaged.
The MARS’ Orbit: Transforming Customer Experience
A team of skilled MARS partners implemented a series of impactful solutions designed around the challenges to significantly improve the efficiency of the brand’s operations. The MARS team played a key role in growing revenue by converting drop-carts into successful transactions. Through personalized communication, strategic promotions, and empathetic engagement, MARS successfully brought back customers who had abandoned their carts. This approach not only led to immediate revenue gains but also demonstrated the brand’s commitment to customer-centric solutions. Here’s how it was implemented:

This strategic choice ensured that every customer interaction was not just transactional but emotionally resonant, leading to a positive impact on customer perception and loyalty.
Using Special Promotions for Conversion of Drop-Carts and Churned Customers
The power of targeted promotions was harnessed as a potent tool for customer retention, using deals to encourage the completion of drop-carts and churned customers to return and complete their purchases. This boosted immediate conversions and showed the brand’s commitment to customer retention and fostering trust.
Effective Customer Interaction to Anticipate Non-Delivery
The MARS partners team further proactively addressed the challenge of Non-Delivery Reports (NDR) by engaging in effective customer interactions before and during product delivery. This significantly reduced instances of undelivered packages, preventing revenue loss and creating a positive delivery experience, enhancing customer satisfaction.

Immediate Revenues 4X Cost with Long-Term Gains: The implemented solutions generated immediate revenues that surpassed their cost by 4 times or more. Moreover, these solutions also led to long-term value gains, solidifying the positive impact on the brand’s overall financial health.
Enhancing Deliveries and Streamlining Returns: MARS adeptly managed escalations related to non-deliveries (NDR), significantly reducing occurrences of undelivered products. Furthermore, MARS streamlined the return-to-origin process (RTO), ensuring the successful return of undelivered packages to their origin. Proactive customer interaction played a pivotal role in easing dissatisfaction and minimizing revenue loss.
Boosted Revenue Through Product Upselling: MARS leveraged product upselling strategies to increase revenue. This helped the skincare brand to successfully tap into additional revenue streams by recommending complementary products or upgraded versions.
