The challenge

Block & Chisel, a leader in high-end furniture and décor, wanted to do more than just showcase beautiful products; they wanted to convert browsers into buyers and build long-term customer relationships. While their email marketing was in place, it lacked the automation needed to nurture customers effectively. Abandoned carts were going unrecovered, and there were limited follow-up touchpoints to re-engage shoppers. They needed a solution that could boost conversions while still maintaining their premium brand experience. That’s where TouchBasePro came in. 

The approach

TouchBasePro partnered with the Block & Chisel team to create an automation-first email strategy that made customer interactions seamless, timely, and personalised. Together, we focused on: 

  • Implementing automated abandoned cart campaigns to recover lost sales 
  • Designing follow-up journeys to re-engage browsers and recent buyers 
  • Creating branded templates that reflected Block & Chisel’s premium aesthetic 
  • Using behavioural triggers to send the right message at the right time 
  • Monitoring and optimising results for continual improvement 

The results

The impact was immediate and measurable: 

  • 1,174 abandoned cart emails automatically sent to recover lost revenue 
  • 891 follow-up emails delivered to nurture customers post-purchase and re-engage browsers 
  • Consistent, polished designs that kept every message aligned with the Block & Chisel brand 
  • Streamlined workflows that freed the team from manual tasks 
  • A scalable automated system ready to grow with their business 

Most importantly, automation gave Block & Chisel the ability to convert missed opportunities into sales while building stronger customer relationships. 

What made it work?

  • Data-driven targeting of customer behaviours 
  • Seamless integration of automation with their systems 
  • Strong collaboration between Block & Chisel and TouchBasePro 
  • Equal focus on performance and premium brand experience 

Together, this ensured that automation wasn’t just a technical upgrade, it became a driver of growth. 

Conclusion 

Block & Chisel’s partnership with TouchBasePro shows how automation can turn email from simple communication into a powerful conversion engine. With 1,174 abandoned cart recoveries and 891 follow-ups delivered, TouchBasePro helped them capture revenue, deepen customer engagement, and strengthen their position as a leading luxury brand. What started to solve abandoned carts evolved into a sustainable email strategy that continues to add value long after the first send.
