We had Instant set up in 15 minutes, and on first day we were already seeing results. It’s rare to find a tool that delivers this kind of impact so quickly—and with little effort from our side. We’re thrilled with how it’s performing.

Mercha’s retention marketing efforts weren’t delivering. Despite strong traffic and a high AOV, they were only identifying 1% of site visitors—using short-lived cookies that expired within seven days. This made it nearly impossible to re-engage high-intent shoppers or drive repeat sales.
As a B2B brand, Mercha wasn’t sure that Instant’s retention suite was the right fit - but implemented it and quickly saw standout results.
At the same time, their Klaviyo-powered email flows weren’t converting. While welcome emails were performing, core abandonment journeys—like browse, cart, and checkout—were contributing to 0% of total site revenue.

Instant AI was deployed to overhaul their email retention strategy—moving from one flow to three, all fully automated and personalised at scale using real customer data.
At the same time, Instant Audiences was implemented to drastically increase identification rates, allowing Mercha to retarget customers and previously anonymous high-intent site visitors with no expiration.
