The Challenge

Bonhams is a privately owned international auction house. It is one of the world’s largest and most renowned auctioneers of fine art and antiques, motor cars and jewellery. 

Bonhams marketing campaigns had a disconnect between customer behaviours & interests. They wanted to drive greater impact.

  • Marketing campaigns were not utilising data from onsite behaviour or engagement.

  • Weekly Newsletters included generic selected auctions, with no personalisation to customers preferences.

  • Lack of real-time insight into how customers interacted with platforms.

  • No interaction management or visual reporting for customer behaviour.

The Solution

Pracedo reviewed Bonhams requirements & implemented Marketing Cloud – Personalization for increased insight into their customer’s behaviour. This would empower their team to improve their marketing strategy with performance-driven decision making.

First Pracedo setup engagement tracking on-site to create real-time behavioural segments.

Then, Open Time Email recommendations were also made, based on user engagement and machine learning algorithms.
