In Q4 2015, American Express OPEN developed a new value proposition.
With the task of refreshing its lead nurturing program, we created a comprehensive email campaign. The goal was to engage prospects with relevant, modular content outlining the value of the relationship between small business owners and American Express. The strategy employs the 4-1-1 marketing rule, maintaining relevance with prospective customers by combining four educational emails with one soft promotion and one hard promotion.

The first email in the series introduced the three pillars of the new value proposition: expert services, tools and benefits, and funding. Each subsequent message expanded upon one pillar, and topical customer testimonials provided relevant secondary messaging. The final email in the series prompted a card application.
