A more personalized and convenient shopping experience
Data is the key ingredient for Gousto’s growth
Rich, granular behavioral data is driving the success of this UK-based meal delivery service.

Greater retention by using behavioral data to reduce churn
Optimized return on ad spend across key channels
Challenge
Gousto takes the stress out of grocery shopping and meal prep by delivering ingredients and recipes to customers’ doors. The business is doubling year on year—and has its sights set on further growth.
To achieve its growth goals, Gousto knows it needs to maximize return on ad spend, relentlessly improve retention, and keep delivering delicious meals. And to achieve these things, it needs advanced analytics. Yet Gousto’s data team was being held back by disparate data sources and an inability to use the growing volume of data to its full potential.
The data team sought a better way to access and act upon its data—so they do more with analytics and predictive models, and in turn optimize marketing spend.

Using Snowplow, Gousto can now access rich, granular, and highly-structured behavioral data from its various platforms, channels, and campaigns. And this consistent data stream is proving the ideal ingredient to power growth.
