Clothes you won’t see on every second person, because you're not every second person. Designed in Australia. Worn worldwide.

Why it worked

The video likely performed well because it identified a specific, actionable marketing mistake made by a brand, offering a lesson in email marketing strategy and discount code management that is relevant to other e-commerce businesses.

Summary

The creator discovered that an old welcome discount code for the fashion brand VRG GRL was still active, despite the brand having updated its marketing strategy to focus on value over discounts. The creator highlights this oversight as a missed opportunity for the brand and a potential source of lost revenue.

Transcript

This brand's year-old discount code still works. And I don't think they know about it. Hi, I'm Kate. I make websites more profitable and marketing more memorable. So I was shopping on this brand's website when I remembered I had their welcome email from February 2023 buried in my inbox. Look what I found. Use code ZFZ64KM2 for 10% off your first purchase xx.

VRG GRL 2023. 12 Byres Street, Newtown. VRG GRL acknowledges the Tuurbal and Jagal people as the traditional custodians of the lands on which we operate. The crazy part, their current welcome emails don't even offer discount codes anymore. They have completely changed their strategy. This isn't just about lost revenue. It is creating an inconsistent customer experience. Their team launched this really smart new email strategy focused on value instead of discounting. But they have completely missed and deactivated the old welcome codes. Has a brand ever forgotten to deactivate your code?
