Company Background
And Challenge

Founded in 2014, Swiggy is India’s largest food delivery platform with over 55,000 restaurant partners spread across 70 cities. Using innovative technology, the platform provides a hassle-free, fast, and reliable delivery experience. Every order delivered by Swiggy’s fleet, the largest in India, ensures a host of customer-centric features like lightning fast delivery, no minimum order value, live order tracking, and 24/7 customer support

  • Email has always played a major role in growing Swiggy’s business and reaching out to a significant part of the consumer base.
  • As their email list was growing quickly, they were facing a lot of issues with their email deliverability.
  • Swiggy was in need of an advanced email marketing platform which would help them have more control over email deliverability.

How Pepipost’s Email Delivery Service Team Helped?

Swiggy’s Email campaign is predominantly aimed to build a sense of curiosity amongst its users. The Email embedded with a CTA (Call to Action) directs the users to the Swiggy app where they could access their unused coupons. The details of the offer/coupon were not revealed in the Email subject line or content – thus creating a sense of curiosity among the users.

The users had to open the Swiggy app to check the offers, bringing them one step closer to conversion. This campaign also helped in creating a positive trend at MSPs especially Gmail which is about 95% of Swiggy’s user base, ensuring more users receive the mail in their primary inbox.

Below were the innovative ways in which the brand accomplished its objective:

  • Subject line: “Ooh! You’ve got coupons!” which clearly sets the expectation of getting coupons
  • Email creative with a crisp title that creates a sense of curiosity among the users
  • A personalized CTA, which doesn’t ask users to commit to anything but check their coupons
