Bloomreach, the platform fueling limitless ecommerce personalization, today announced the findings from Forrester’s Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study. TEI is Forrester’s methodology for measuring the comprehensive impact of a company’s investments, technologies, projects and initiatives. Bloomreach commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a TEI study which evaluates the financial impact of Bloomreach for its customers. By interviewing four current customers and combining the results into a single composite organization, Forrester found that users of the company’s marketing automation solution, Bloomreach Engagement, experienced immediate benefits in terms of business growth and profitability — including a 251% return on investment (ROI) and $2.3 million in cost savings.
Powered by its proprietary Loomi AI, Bloomreach creates significant value for brands by enabling personalization throughout the entire customer journey. As one study participant, a retail CRM manager, noted, “The fact that we can see the full customer journey through is a game changer for us […] It has enabled us to further conversations and educate the business on what we know of our customer…” Forrester’s TEI study also stated that marketers using Bloomreach Engagement were able to collaborate easily, enhance efficiency, and improve the customer experience.
