Company Challenge & Testimonial

Before Keaz, Genuine Haircare relied mainly on email communication, which often went unnoticed in customers’ inboxes.


For a brand built on personal relationships and salon-quality expertise, this lacked the immediacy and warmth needed to stay connected.

“Our brand stands for honesty and care — and Keaz helps us communicate exactly that. Every WhatsApp message feels personal, just like a conversation in the salon. It’s our way of staying close to our customers — naturally, without pressure.”

— Jörg Wilken, Founder of Genuine Haircare

Campaign Goal

The main objective was to build a stronger post-purchase experience by automating genuine, human communication.


From order confirmation to feedback and reactivation, every message was designed to reflect Genuine’s natural tone — thoughtful, personal, and never intrusive.

Campaign Setup

Abandoned Checkout Journey

Triggered when a customer leaves the checkout without completing the order.

  • Personalized reminder crafted in Genuine’s warm, calm tone

  • CTR: 70.3% (first message), 48% (follow-up)

Second Purchase / Customer Bond Journey

A short post-purchase flow thanking customers and keeping the conversation open.

  • Messages Delivered: 702

  • Reads: 585

  • Journey Completion: 100%

First Purchase → Feedback → Repurchase Journey

A 3-step automation connecting every stage after purchase:

  • Order Confirmation

  • Feedback Request

  • Reactivation after 30 days with a tailored comeback message


  • Messages Delivered: 1,333

  • Reads: 1,052

  • Engagement Rate: 70.8%

Campaign Results

Over the course of four months, Genuine Haircare achieved:

  • €1,242.45 in attributed revenue

  • 3,336 WhatsApp subscribers collected

  • 24% average CTR across all Journeys

  • 1.24x ROAS (based on total Meta + Stripe spend)

  • 70.8% engagement rate on the Repurchase Journey

  • Fully automated setup integrated with Shopify


Every WhatsApp message feels like a one-on-one conversation — reflecting Genuine Haircare’s philosophy of well-aging, not anti-aging: beauty that adapts to life, not the other way around.
