The challenge

Petplan is one of the UK’s biggest pet insurance providers.

Think started working with Petplan in 2020 with a brief to improve engagement in its bi-monthly newsletters and update existing web articles to provide a streamlined flow of content.

 Solution

Petplan wanted to meet the needs of new pet owners looking for advice and support, while increasing customer engagement and retention.

Think came up with a high-performing newsletter content programme showcasing illustrations, informative articles and videos. It also implemented a testing programme to inform tailored content.

We respond to what content works, moving from real-life stories to ‘curiosity content’ that consistently gets results.

 Our Impact

Using data monitoring, we’ve created a newsletter programme that Petplan’s audience loves.

Data insight revealed that pet owners want to understand their pet, so that’s the content we deliver. New articles such as Signs your dog loves youand ‘Why does my cat like to sleep in bed with me?outperformed older pieces, garnering multiple reactions across social media.

Petplan’s content now boasts great engagement via time on page and click-through rates from emails. Newsletter engagement continues to grow, alongside greater visibility for Petplan in search engine result pages.

We’re cementing Petplan’s place as the provider of best care for animals – and its improved newsletter programme demonstrates this.
