The Ratings and Reviews email campaign Fresh Picked Design created for Crutchfield was named as “a perfect example” of why ecommerce analyst and blogger Linda Bustos loves Crutchfield’s marketing. Incorporating ratings and reviews is “an effective and underused tactic for retail email,” Bustos writes, noting that this tactic helps persuade impulse buyers and cautious consumers alike. “All-in-all, Crutchfield’s is an excellent example of selling to different types of shoppers in one email, without cluttering the creative.

By acting quickly, Fresh Picked Design saved Capital One $50,000 on this rewards catalog project. A looming postal rate increase threatened to increase mailing costs if the print deadline were missed. Obstacles kept popping up: incorrect images from the stock photography provider, outdated logos, discontinued merchandise and last-minute changes to the fine print.

Capital One brought in Fresh Picked Design to ensure the catalog project would be completed on time. By posting multiple advance proofs for reviewers, working late evenings to update the production proof, and collaborating with the photography vendor and the pre-press facility, we sent the catalog to the printer error-free and on time — saving the company $50,000.
