Brands like REVOLVE, Eddie Bauer, and 1-800 Contacts use Cordial to collect, store, and activate unlimited amounts of customer data to deliver personal, relevant, and emotionally intelligent messages across multiple channels. “Cordial is the only platform we found that allows us to truly take advantage of all of our data,” said Lauren Purcell, Senior Marketing Manager at Ancient Nutrition. “From our very first interaction with a user, we are able to send customized messages based on their interests. We can add real value to our users by offering related and useful information as well as products that could support them. And as their interests shift, our messages shift with them – automatically.”
With support from AWS, Cordial mobilizes real-time data so companies can segment customers and individualize messages at the exact moment messages are triggered or sent.
By leveraging services such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), and Amazon ElastiCache, Cordial can accelerate and simplify the development of its cutting-edge enterprise technology. “As an AWS Retail Competency Partner, we can deliver the highest level of service to our clients,” said Jeremy Swift, CEO of Cordial. “Cordial collects, stores, and activates unlimited amounts of customer data—and our clients leverage that data to send individualized messages at enterprise scale. None of this would be possible without the reliability and innovation of AWS.”
