Meet one of our clients, Darts Corner, the world’s largest retailer of darts and related products. Initially, they achieved respectable and consistent sales on their former platform, Visualsoft. However, the platform fell short in meeting their growth and scalability needs.
After we migrated them to Shopify Plus, Darts Corner experienced an incredible surge in business performance. Their sales skyrocketed, achieving a remarkable 120% increase in online sales and a 200% uplift in conversion rates. How? By leveraging Shopify's powerful features.
