AI marketing automation for faster, smarter growth

The problem was simple: the premium perfume campaigns required personalized offer matching, and their current automations couldn't handle the scale.

This meant:

• 50+ email marketing campaigns monthly, each with multiple offers
• 10,000+ contacts requiring automated personalization and email segmentation
• Memory overflow issues when processing over 1,000 contacts in their workflow automation
• Duplicate emails destroying customer trust and email deliverability
• Marketing team drowning in Excel files instead of marketing automation strategy

We replaced Make.com workflows with memory-optimized n8n automation:

1. Built sequential processing architecture preventing system crashes at any scale.
2. Automated the entire email pipeline:
   • Monday.com to n8n workflow automation
   • Batch processing with intelligent offer matching
   • Duplicate prevention via Supabase
   • Automated email delivery through SendGrid
3. Delivered instant ROI: 85% faster processing, zero downtime, marketing team refocused on strategy.

The retailer achieved 85% faster email campaign execution, processing 50+ monthly campaigns with zero system crashes. €20,000 monthly operational savings delivered ROI within 6 weeks, while the marketing team reclaimed 100+ hours monthly for strategic work instead of Excel management.

Most critically, their n8n email automation platform now handles 10x the volume with high reliability, enabling personalized email marketing that before was impossible.

West Zebra, a digital advertising agency, needed to help AgrioFresh collect customer data for their fresh salad and fruit brands. Without this data, they couldn’t send targeted emails, alerts about sales, or personalized recommendations. The challenge was that consumer goods companies like AgrioFresh struggle to gather customer data from retail purchases, especially in supermarkets.

West Zebra implemented a creative solution using QR codes and no-code tools. By adding QR codes to packaging (for products like Oliveris, Master Fresh, and Master Fruit), customers could easily enter a contest by scanning the code and submitting their phone number.

• Automation: The process was automated through Make.com, which handled:
  • Validation of each scanned QR code against a customer database.
  • A smooth, simplified process for returning customers to avoid re-entering personal information.
  • Automatic collection and consolidation of consumer data, ensuring seamless data flow for marketing purposes.
• Marketing Automation: Once data was captured, the system ensured that customers received automatic confirmation and were prompted for marketing consent, with weekly prize draws automatically managed by the system.

‍

The results were remarkable. The campaign achieved a 48% opt-in rate for marketing messages, which significantly exceeded the industry average of 34%. This opt-in rate was a direct result of the QR codes making it easy for customers to engage with the brand.

The campaign also provided AgrioFresh with valuable customer data for the first time. This data allowed them to personalize future campaigns and offer targeted promotions. Due to the campaign’s success, it was not only extended but also turned into a recurring promotion, with an earlier start date for the next cycle.

Key Benefits:

• The campaign opened up direct communication with customers, which was previously difficult for consumer goods companies.
• Automation streamlined the process, reducing manual labor and allowing the team to focus on creative aspects of the campaign.
• The partnership between West Zebra and Makeitfuture helped West Zebra deliver a campaign that was both efficient and highly effective.

The pawn shop needed a simple, scalable way to create quality listings from poor product photos, without hiring a full team. The solution had to:

• Process low-quality photos
• Create high-quality images, videos, and descriptions
• Be fast and easy for staff to use
• Keep costs under control across hundreds of items

We designed and developed an AI-powered content automation system that transforms low-quality item photos into complete, high-converting product listings:

• User-Friendly Workflow: Store staff can easily upload product photos and details through a straightforward form.
• Automated Image Enhancement: AI tools clean up backgrounds and improve image quality instantly.
• Instant Content Generation: Descriptions, tags, and metadata are created automatically, ready for publishing.
• Video Creation: Short promotional videos are generated, even from low-quality photos.
• Centralized Review Hub: All assets are organized in Airtable for easy review and one-click publishing across platforms.

Shortly after implementing the AI-powered workflow, the pawn shop saw measurable improvements:

• 65% faster listing turnaround, cutting production time from hours to minutes per item.
• Over 50% cost savings, reducing content creation costs to under $0.60 per product.
• Higher conversion rates, thanks to consistent visuals and compelling, AI-generated descriptions.
• Optimised operations, enabling staff to focus on sales instead of manual content tasks.
