ECS Publishing Group is the corporate parent of music publishers E. C. Schirmer, Galaxy, and MorningStar. Established in 2014, it specializes in producing sheet music across various genres, with a particular emphasis on choral compositions.
Challenges
Music publishing is a challenging industry when we talk about brand awareness. Composers often overshadow the publisher’s brand, making it extra difficult to build a dedicated email list.
To add up, customers frequently buy single copies to review before purchasing in bulk for their groups, leading to delayed feedback on marketing efforts.
Why GetResponse?
Because of these challenges, the ECS Publishing Group turned to GetResponse looking for:
- An email solution that integrated well with their Magento website;
- Sending push notifications, without requiring a mobile app;
- Segmenting their marketing efforts based on customer purchase history and preferences;
- Growing their email list;
- Cost-effectiveness.

With GetResponse at their disposal, the ECS Publishing Group achieved the desired results, from which it emphasizes:
- Boost in sales following targeted email campaigns, especially those focused on product offerings, thanks to segmentation;
- More than 2k new subscribers (10% email list growth) in a tough industry;
- 50% newsletter open rates and 3% click rate.
