The Gloria Skincare Story

Gloria Skincare is a D2C skincare brand. Strong products, strong community. What was missing was a channel as direct as the brand itself. The CRM ran mostly on email. And email got weaker over time. Subscriber numbers dropped, open rates declined. In winback especially, part of the customer base stayed hard to reach over email. On top of that, there was room to grow on popup signups and on the cart value of new customers. The decision landed on WhatsApp. Direct, personal, right where customers actually read and reply. The tool: Chatarmin.

Customer Experience

"We started from zero and were live in two weeks. Five months later, Gloria does over €100,000 in revenue a month, all over WhatsApp."

Anton Mörike
CEO amail agency

How did Gloria Skincare approach this?

Gloria took a structured approach from the start. WhatsApp went straight into the existing CRM world and got connected with email, rather than running as a standalone channel.

Three principles carry the setup. Signups get collected across several touchpoints instead of a single channel. The recurring journeys run fully automatic, set up once and active every day. And every message is personal, with first name and tailored to purchase behavior.

The thinking behind it is simple. WhatsApp is its own direct line to the customer. Exclusive offers, early access to launches, and a tone that reads like a message from a friend instead of an ad.

This was built in close collaboration with the amail agency.

The Results

The numbers from May 2026

€105,484

Revenue

The start in January was €964 in WhatsApp revenue. Five months later, in May, it's €105,484. The first €100,000 month, all over WhatsApp.

19.8x

Return on WhatsApp Spend

€5,336 in cost, €105,484 in revenue in May. Every euro invested came back almost twentyfold.

70.8%

Open Rate

Seven in ten recipients open the message. WhatsApp lands on the lock screen, not in the promotions tab. Exactly the reach that email had been missing.

"Gloria relied mainly on email for a long time. In winback, that eventually hit its limits. Over WhatsApp we now reach noticeably more customers than before and bring back significantly more."
