The Challenge

  • MEin3D offers a unique experience: custom 3D-printed figurines from real body scans
  • High traffic. Low conversions.
  • Users were arriving — and leaving before booking an appointment
  • No email follow-up. No behavioral targeting. No second chance.

“We were leaving money — and memories — on the table.”

Research Questions

  1. Where in the funnel are users dropping off?
  2. Why are they not completing the appointment form?
  3. How can AI-powered email personalization close the gap?

Key Takeaways

  1. The funnel is leaky — but fixable.
  2. Generic email doesn’t work. Behavioral segmentation creates 1:1 conversations.
  3. AI personalization is not a luxury. For a small brand, it’s the edge.
  4. Data infrastructure comes first. You can’t personalize what you can’t measure.
