How Gifting Helped This Marketing Team Grow Pipeline by 50%

Alyce’s impact Dashboard also makes it easy for the BDR team to analyze and share the data from their campaigns.

“I will say my BDR directors are in love with the new Alyce dashboarding, being able to go in and say, '“Here's how much my team has spent, here's how many meetings we generated, here are the gifts that are driving the most meetings, and then here's how much return,” Whitney mentions.

Whitney also reinforces the Alyce recipient experience with her team by periodically sending them personalized Alyce gifts as thank yous and morale boosters on company-designated mental health days – her favorite so far being a beer mug with an embedded guitar pick to a guitar-playing team member who loves craft beer.

Alyce + Integrations + Creativity= A Successful ‘Spice-y’ Campaign

While Whitney’s team did have some success with cold prospecting, the addition of 6Sense and its integration with Alyce, Salesforce, and Marketo was a game-changer. With these tools seamlessly working together, Whitney’s team was able to identify prospects actively seeking to purchase and with the budget to do so – this insight helped increase the quality of leads to whom they sent gifts.

The team then applied some creativity with their Alyce gifting campaign – capitalizing on the fall season with a gift offer of Pumpkin Spice lattes along with a personalized message. As a result of this campaign, Whitney’s team not only generated close to 250 meetings, but the percentage of prospects who followed through on attending the meetings dramatically increased.

"Alyce’s integration with 6Sense was a game-changer. It helped us target the right accounts at the right time, significantly improving our gift acceptance rate over cold prospecting. Our Pumpkin Spice Latte campaign alone generated around 250 meetings, showcasing the power of combining seasonality, fun, and strategic gifting–and it has driven to date over $25,000 in NMRR on only $4000 of gifting spend!”

Personalization and the Power-of-Choice™

Another key to Whitney and her team’s success is the time they take to research their gift recipients so that they can tailor their gifting to each recipient’s interests, especially when the intended recipient is from a large enterprise account.

“We’ll check out their LinkedIn, Facebook and other social profiles. So, for example, if you see that they're a Yankees fan, maybe we’ll give them Yankees tickets or a gift card with the suggestion to use it to buy Yankees tickets," Whitney explains.

"A lot of our BDRs use charity as a leading gift. There are quite a few instances where we know that an executive and their organization is really big into LGBTQ causes, and so we'll offer the gift as a donation to a relevant charity on their behalf.”

But even in cases where the recipient’s interests aren’t known, Whitney and her team still can capture prospects’ attention with a well-written personal note and incorporating Alyce’s Power-of-Choice™ into their campaign settings.

“We get thank yous from prospects all the time! The most common feedback is ‘This is so fun that I get to choose from thousands of gift options!’ And as someone who's been the recipient of Alyce Gifts before, I get so excited when I know I’ll get that choice, too.”
