Turning Awareness into Action
Pure Solutions
Overview
At Pure Solutions, I developed a remarketing email campaign designed to re-engage users who had previously shown intent, either by requesting a quote or beginning the signup process but not converting.
The campaign was built around a core behavior insight: preventive services are easy to postpone until the risk feels immediate.
During early tick season, I focused on turning passive awareness into active urgency by reframing timing as a deciding factor, not just interest in the service itself.
The Challenge
Most users in this audience already understood the value of tick prevention, but intent didn’t always translate into action. Behaviorally, prevention-based decisions are rarely driven by information alone. They’re driven by perceived immediacy.
They weren’t unconvinced…they were delayed.
The challenge was not education, but creating a reason to act now rather than later in the season when the risk feels more tangible.
The Approach
-
Audience
Lapsed or inactive customers, especially families with children or pets.Campaign Focus
This email was designed as a remarketing touchpoint for early spring, coinciding with the rise in tick activity. The goal was to rekindle customer interest by aligning with their values—natural living and protecting their loved ones.Key Message

Placed three clear and identical CTAs (“Click Here for a Free Proposal!”) throughout the email to ensure accessibility from any scroll point, without overwhelming the user. -

Reviewed all copy to ensure there were no spelling, grammar, or formatting errors. Double-checked facts about tick activity and product ingredients to ensure messaging was both clear and accurate.Tone & Brand Alignment

Sent test emails to multiple devices and inbox types to simulate the customer experience. Reviewed layout, CTA functionality, and load times to ensure the email was mobile-friendly and easy to navigate from start to finish. -
Subject Line & Preview
Wrote an engaging subject line—“Protect Your Family With All-Natural Tick Control!”—paired with preview text that emphasized urgency and safety. This approach aimed to re-capture attention through emotional relevance and seasonal timing.Audience Targeting
The email was sent to a segmented remarketing list made up of two key groups: former customers who had previously canceled service, and leads who had signed up for emails but never converted. Messaging and timing were tailored to re-engage these high-potential, low-commitment audiences.Launch Execution
Deployed the email at the start of tick season, when awareness and motivation to act were highest. The timing was strategic, meant to catch customers just as the risk became top-of-mind, increasing the likelihood of action. -
