CASE STUDY: EVERY MAN JACK

Men’s Grooming Brand Every Man Jack Partners with ID.me to Extend Discounts to Military Communities

Every Man Jack is a leader in the natural men’s grooming market. Recognized for outstanding quality, design, and a commitment to sustainable packaging, this “naturally derived, outdoor-inspired” brand appeals to men who enjoy healthy living, the outdoors, and adventure. Founded in 2007, the brand originally launched in Target stores and eventually achieved widespread distribution through multiple national brick and mortar retailers. In the last few years, the team has been hyper-focused on accelerating its thriving DTC business with the help of ID.me.

Challenge

When Every Man Jack expanded e-commerce efforts in 2019, they identified the military community as a consumer group that aligned with the company’s brand ethos. As Nick Hasselberg, Director of Growth Marketing, explains, “As we say in our brand name, Every Many Jack is for every guy – and that absolutely includes service members.” Military customers are also valuable sources of user generated content for the brand’s online and social campaigns.

The question was, how could Every Man Jack reach this valuable audience?

Traditional Veteran’s Day promotions didn’t help Every Man Jack connect with the right audience

Despite the evident appeal, Every Man Jack didn’t have a strategy for identifying service members and veterans and confirming their military status. Brad Handel, Marketing Manager at Every Man Jack, explains the company’s dilemma: “When I started overseeing the affiliates and referrals part of the business, it was one of the first things on my mind… but there was no good way for us to really target military members. We did Veterans’ Day discounts, but that was for everybody—not targeted.”

Solution

“ID.me has a significant amount of brand equity in so many loyalist. When in ID.me consumer sees a co-branded campaign, we know it gives us more credibility among this audience.”

Every Man Jack connected with ID.me and learned about the company’s close connection with the military. “When I first got on the phone with ID.me, they were able to very quickly answer any questions that I had,” recalls Brad. “After a few conversations, I was pretty quickly sold that this was the way for us to reach that community.”

Exclusive discounts on the ID.me marketplace

The company particularly liked that ID.me could help them reach up to 24 million military and veterans with marketing services. In addition to offering discounts to military members, Every Man Jack also launched on the ID.me marketplace with discounts specifically for front line workers.

“ID.me has a significant amount of brand equity and so many loyalists. When an ID.me consumer sees a co-branded campaign, we know it gives us more credibility among this audience,” explains Nick.

Rapid implementation on Every Man Jack’s website

Every Man Jack had just launched a new website and wanted to implement ID.me as quickly as possible. They were able to get up and running fast by directing online shoppers to ID.me to access discount codes as part of the check out process.

“I liked that it was a digestible upfront payment to launch the partnership, and then you just pay per code, which is really simple and easy to work into the budget,” Brad explains.

“It was so easy to launch the partnership with ID.me,” Brad notes. “Having that ease of integration, we went live quickly.” As a next step, Every Man Jack plans to embed ID.me identity and group verification within the Every Man Jack site to enhance stickiness.
